The government in the Netherlands attempted to ban the export of dogs to Israel, claiming that the IDF uses them as "weapons," but was unable to find a legal means to do so.
EU Observer reports that Minister for Foreign Trade Lilianne Ploumen investigated the possibility through the European Commission and other supervisory organizations.
EU countries can only restrict exports in certain cases, and such cases are typically decided by the EU as a whole. Ploumen had suggested to the European Commission that service dogs could fall under the dual-use regulation, which deal with objects that have both civilian and military uses. ...

Their own country is under attack from Islam. You’d think they’d wake up by now.

i’m too lazy to open the article. If the dogs are being used like the police here use them, and I assume our military, then I dont see an issue.

"Europe is falling apart!!"
"Wait -- I think I may have found a solution!"
"What is it???"
"We ban the export of dogs!"
"Brilliant!"

That’s not the point, obviously. Why would anyone want to ban export of dogs to Israel?

The Dutch controversy over the IDF’s use of dogs has been growing since last October, when the NRC Handelsblad claimed that the IDF uses dogs from Holland, some of whom have bitten Palestinians.

That would be “Palestinian” propaganda, of course, passed off as news by the NRC Handelsblad.

I don't see the issue either, but that is the excuse they are using.
K9's bite on command. I doubt they are running around biting the general population.

International anti-Semitism is disgusting. What happened to acceptance and tolerance that lefty loonies like to lecture us about?
