Absolute heartlessness and typical European depravity. From The Sunday Times:

Via INN:

A group of Arabs and Israeli leftist collaborators attacked a Jewish outpost in Samaria Wednesday morning, killed a dog and burned holy books, while the outpost’s residents were away protecting a nearby olive orchard.

The outpost that was attacked is called Churshah and is located next to the community of Adei Ad which was established ten years ago. The residents number about a dozen.

According to Evyatar Karo, one of Chursha’s residents, the Arabs and leftists carried out a successful ruse before their attack when they told police that they had come to harvest olives. The police then notified Chursha’s residents that officers and soldiers were escorting the Arabs to pick olives.

This apparently caused the outpost’s residents to leave the outpost without guards  – except for their dogs – and go off to guard a nearby olive grove planted by Jews several years ago, which Arabs claim is on their land.

The attack took place at around 8 A.M., under the cover of fog. Karo estimates that the attackers numbered at least 20 Arabs and a few leftist-anarchists. The perpetrators parked their car in the nearby village of Turmus-Ayah, south of Shilo, and reached Chursha by foot. They then proceeded to burn and destroy the makeshift living quarters and meager furnishings, and to kill Kacha, a mixed-breed female Caucasian Shepherd puppy. Kacha’s carcass bears signs of violence and she seems to have been beaten or bludgeoned to death.

Another one of the outpost’s three dogs was taken away by the attackers. The third was not harmed.

When the Jewish residents heard noises from the outpost and hurried back, the attackers fled. Security officer David Yoel of the nearby Shilo community blocked the path of four of the suspects as they tried to escape on foot and held them at bay until police and soldiers arrived and arrested them.

Note: The descriptions and video of China’s fur industry in this story will be disturbing to some readers. Below are excerpts from WND which document the abuse inflicted on animals bred and raised in tiny cages and then skinned alive for their fur. Skinned alive!

An extended investigation into the fur trade that China is estimated to produce approximately 85 percent of the world’s fur products – and it has virtually no regulations or rules for the treatment of the animals.

According to Mark Rissi, a spokesman for Swiss Animal Protection, which has documented abuse of animals raised for their fur as early as 1983, the China project has been going on for several years.

The organization’s report has been made available online, with dramatic images and descriptions that researchers found more than disturbing.

The report contained the testimony from witnesses to a dog slaughter:

Once pulled out from its cage, the raccoon dog curls up into a ball in mid-air. … One woman in a headscarf is first to grab hold of the raccoon dog’s tail and the others drift away peevishly. The woman in the headscarf swings the animal upwards. It forms an arc in the air and is then slammed heavily to the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust. The raccoon dog tries to stand up, its paws scrabbling in the grit. The wooden club in the woman’s hand swings down onto its forehead. The woman picks up the animal and walks toward the other side of the road, throwing it onto a pile of other raccoon dogs. A stream of blood trickles from its muzzle, but its eyes are open and it continues to repeatedly blink, move its paws, raise its head and collapse to the ground. Beside it lies another raccoon dog. Its four limbs have been hacked off but still it continues to yelp.

The report then graphically describes how the dogs are skinned, sometimes while they are living.
