Global Voices provides an overview of the Palestinian blogosphere.
This story is disturbing:
"Israeli media sources reported on Saturday that Israel recently received 300 well-trained anti-terrorism dogs from the United States and might use them against Palestinian activists in the West Bank.
"The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronot said the dogs were brought from the United States on a special Israeli plane, adding that the Israeli army would use these imported dogs in their raids on Palestinian towns.
"Palestinians said the Israeli army has recently stepped up their use of sniffing dogs in arresting wanted Palestinians, adding that these dogs are fierce and aggressive and can cause severe physical and psychological damage."
An American Zionist organisation donated the dogs to "fight Palestinian terrorism."
The dehumanisation of the Palestinian people continues.

One must say that the intent of this story is somewhat specyist.
Is not man a more dangerous animal than dog?
Just imagine if one substituted this these sniffer dogs with a battalion of GIs? Why the results would be equally horrifying.
Three hundred sweaty American soldiers, nose to the ground, bum up, calling in napalm strikes and the odd Merkava pot shot at mosques.
All in all you can rap the dogs on the snout. Or pepper can deter dog but not man.
Ah the incredulous now speak of credibility. Always easy to be skeptical of suffering when it relates to someone else.
Re dogs - Palestinians, and Arabs in general, are quite fearful of dogs. It looks like a pretty deliberate tactic sending dogs.
Indeed. Not unlike Abu Ghraib, the message is clear...
What is truly disturbing is your source. It was not "The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronot" it was a Chinese Internet site stating such a source, but none was provided by them either.
Shoddy journalism, wot?
Funny how edward can't find anything to comment on the shear falseness of the article.
Shabadoo was merely referring to the Arabic religion, which must not be Islam, which I heard was a religion of Peace.
But if the Arab religion promotes fear of dogs, who are we to question their morality?
