As hinted to above, they have been used to carry explosives to blow themselves and human targets up as well.
Our incendiary falcon commentator, PETA, has been vocal on the donkey matter as well. Way back on February 3, 2003, for example, Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s president, wrote a letter to the now deceased Yasser Arafat urging that Arabs not use donkeys when murdering Jews. Note that there was no mention of concern about blowing up Jews…just that animals be left out of the conflict. And similar to what they recently stated above regarding our poor feathered friend.
Again, while no people nor culture has a monopoly on saints or sinners, one would be very hard-pressed to find Jews doing these sort of things to animals, let alone people.
Not only are Jews not permitted to do such things as overwork their animals (they must also rest on the Sabbath, for example), they are expected to take care of their animals’ own basic needs–such as food and water–before those of themselves. And, unlike what we see too often in the “Arab”/Muslim world, these positive principles are largely put into practice.
While there are some folks who don’t mind abusing or murdering people but supposedly still like animals (Hitler, for example), the mistreatment of the one too often seems to make the slaughter of the other much easier.
The same common disregard for animal life described above in now predominantly Muslim Arab Bethlehem happens to also be taking place in a culture which glorifies and makes heros of those who visit Jewish families in the night, beheading infants and murdering the others as well; creates museums with fake Jewish body parts hanging from the ceiling in commemoration of the real acts of barbarism; stops pregnant mothers in their cars and murders the children at point blank range in their seats; kidnaps young children and smashes their heads against walls inside of caves; deliberately targets schools and school buses; and so forth…all documented Arab acts of “heroism” for which the perpetrators and their families are honored and given monetary rewards.
There’s no problem with the Jews’ donkeys…and no Jews beheading Arab infants either.
