The phrase “The dog that didn’t bark” is one of my favorite metaphors from Arthur Conan Doyle’s imagination. In this case part of the 1892 Sherlock Holmes story "Silver Blaze."
In the story, a valuable racehorse disappears and its trainer is murdered. Inspector Gregory is puzzled because the watchdog in the stable made no noise during the crime. Holmes points out that this is exactly the key fact.
Here is the crucial exchange:
Gregory: “Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
Holmes: “That was the curious incident.”
The implication:
The dog knew the intruder. If a stranger had come, the dog would have barked. Because it stayed silent, the culprit must have been someone familiar—an insider.
Since then, “the dog that didn’t bark” has become shorthand for:
An important absence — something that should have happened, but didn’t, and therefore reveals the truth.
The people of Iran have been protesting the tyrannical murderous Jihadi regime that runs their country for a month, at the cost of their lives. Yesterday 200 protesters were killed.
Why are the campus protesters who were out in the street in support of Hamas terrorists as freedom fighters since October 7, 2023, not out in support of the people of Iran?
Where were those campus protestors when the Iranian people strove for freedom in 2022? In 2009?
No Jews, no news.
The people who chant "Globalize the Intifada" in America and are silent about Iran are showing how much they care about the suffering of Islamic people.
They don't, unless they can blame the Jews.
While protesters in Iran were slaughtered by security forces, the pro-terrorist Jew haters were on the street in Manhattan chanting:
"There is only one solution; Intifada, Revolution!" "Death to the IDF" and "Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here."
