    It wasn't even some random dog it was literally a military dog.

    It was there to kill them.

    Even if this is the first story about hamas that's actually accurate, they would, at worse, doing the same thing to the idf but using combat troops that the idf is doing to civilians using food and medical aid.

      Yeah, if the IDF had mounted cavalry would I be expected to condemn the Palestinian resistance for shooting horses? You deploy animals in a military situation you shouldn't be surprised if they get shot.

      People can get weird about dogs. I'm uncomfortable around them because I'm autistic and having them jump all over me and bark is a sensory overload nightmare, and my brother got mauled by a neighbor's dog so badly he had to go to the hospital, but some people take my unease as proof that I'm Satan incarnate.

      EDIT: Also I dunno why it happens, but I swear dogs hate me lmao. I've lost count of how many times I've heard "I don't know what's gotten into him, he's not usually like this" while a dog is barking at me like I'm a Terminator.

        Dogs read microexpressions and like you said a lot of psychos become uneasy when someone isn't into dogs so their dog realizes the owner is uneasy and thinks they perceive you as a threat.

        Dogs behaviors are just an extension of their owner's biases

        There are probably IOF stormtroopers out there who are "innocent" and haven't done any violence yet. That doesn't make them any less legitimate targets for the resistance.

        Being innocent or not has nothing to do with war. It is not a judicial process. You neutralise enemy combattants without investigating their individual motivations and actions first.

    I've been saying this before but if the resistance wants the western public to turn against the zionist occupiers, there's a limit to hire much showing them images of dead and mutilated brown children is going to do, the average westerner is a low-effort nazi at heart who doesn't really care that much what happens to non-Aryans.

    No, if the people running the English-language communication efforts of the resistance really want westerners to care they should show them how the zionist occupiers are mean to cats and dogs. Westerners care a lot about fluffy pets.

    while this is certainly unpleasant, I'm not sure why this is considered world news vs the numerous other booby traps hamas sets up, including in childrens toys, baby strollers or rooms with child voice recordings speaking hebrew or arabic to lure soldiers in.

    Hasbara Projection at it's finest.

    Israeli drones 'playing sounds of babies crying before opening fire'

    “It headed towards the tents broadcasting the same crying. We called my cousin in the tents and told him, ‘Don’t fall for it. It’s just a sound system.’

    “Abu Anas al-Shahrour, [from this] area, they shot him in the head.”

    As well as sounds of women and children, residents also said the drones played sounds of gunfire, explosions and the movement of military vehicles.

    The organisation Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor also reported residents occasionally heard songs in Hebrew and Arabic, which they argue is a form of "psychological intimidation".

    Pro-Israel mob played the sounds of crying children on speakers in front of the pro-Palestine encampment at UCLA.

    Colonialists and fascists consider their animals lives to be more important than the lives of the non white people they colonise and oppress. Been happening since the dawn of colonialism. Hitler was infamously into animal welfare. There's a ton of racism involved.

    PEOPLE EAT DOGS IN SWITZERLAND

    https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-30205410

    Dog meat goes mostly into making sausages and a fatty remedy for rheumatism.

    According to the Food Safety and Veterinary Office, you are not allowed to sell dog or cat meat but it is legal for people to eat their own animals
