Focus on Ramallah, Focus on Palestine, focus on Dogs

I have admired your work for a long time and I am trying to tell everyone about an animal shelter in Beit Sahour.  This is just outside of Bethlehem.  It is run by a wonderful lady named Diana George Babish.  She has saved hundreds of dogs and cats from being abandoned, abused and even poisoned.  As you know this area is not only isolated by area but by politics, as well.  She could really use some exposure right now because her animal shelter is being closed by the government.  The folks are struggling just to get through the activities of daily living and there is not much time to focus on the animals.  they are really suffering.  I visited there recently with Bike Palestine and I could not help but notice the stray dogs.  I really fell in love with the place, the people and, of course, the food.  I went there again and met Diana and wrote about her shelter.  She is really doing God's work.  I am wondering if you have an ideas about how to shed more light on this situation.  Yes, it is true she needs more financing but exposure, as well.  Thank you for taking time to read my info and I will look forward to your response....any idea you have I will appreciate.   Here is a blog post about her...https://theronnierepublic.blogspot.com/2018/12/calling-all-dog-people-out-there-this.html

On a lighter note I am also trying to write about Francesca Hilton, the daughter of Zsa Zsa Gabor.  She had a very interesting and somewhat tragic life.  I wonder if you would like to speak or participate in any way on this subject.

thank you for your time and here is a post:

I think the news should focus more on Palestine and the area and the people.  One would think it is only the war zone of Gaza from the reporting.  I went to Ramallah by myself and had a lovely time.  it is a safe city, the people are lovely and it is easy to get around.

Francesca Hilton et Miss Liz: La première réunion


"Non, c'était juste une journée normale à Beverly Hills."

"En prenant rendez-vous avec mon manucure au salon Jose Eber, une charmante dame n'a pu s'empêcher de remarquer mon cas Louis Vutton."

"Qu'est-ce que c'est", s'exclama-t-elle.

"Il a été spécialement conçu pour moi, pour ma perruque - tout le monde le remarque et a toujours quelque chose à dire. En vérité, c'est un spectacle à voir. Le boîtier est magnifique - la taille et la forme sont si inhabituelles."

"Cette personne s'est avérée être la seule et unique Francesca Hilton avec sa personnalité effervescente. Toujours débordante de mots et naturelle pour une conversation avec tout le monde."

"Jose a dû voir ça!"

"Francesca a insisté et a commencé à nous promener directement dans le sanctuaire intérieur de Jose Eber. Oui, il a été impressionné par ma possession et nous sommes tous devenus amis depuis."

"Ce jour-là, nous ne pouvions pas arrêter de parler et il semblait qu'une amitié avec une certaine chimie prenait place."

"Nous avons échangé nos numéros de téléphone et avons fini par nous réunir."

"Depuis, nous sommes les meilleurs amis du monde", a raconté Mlle Liz.

"C'était en 2007 et, s'il est vrai, la relation que notre amitié a perdue a connu des hauts et des bas."

Comme beaucoup de ses amis, Miss Liz était attristée et se demandait ce qui s'était passé vers la fin de la vie de Francesca Hilton.

"Beaucoup d’entre nous essayons encore de réunir les pièces du puzzle."

"Nous l'aimions et de temps en temps nous étions perplexes devant son comportement."

"Francesca était une personne très colorée et plutôt complexe."

"Sa vie était vraiment un paradoxe."


Beaucoup de ses amis se sont demandés ce qui était arrivé à leur amie après son décès.

Il semble que beaucoup de personnes de son entourage aimeraient raconter l'histoire de leur belle amie, Francesca Hilton.


Merci, Melle Liz, d'avoir pris le temps de discuter et de nous raconter une histoire très mémorable sur cette personne unique à la vie inhabituelle.


Miss Liz a parlé de son amie Francesca Hilton dans son émission de télé-réalité, The Life With Liz.

Calling All the Dog People Out There: This Lovely Lady Needs a Home! #LovePalestine

Image may contain: dog, outdoor and nature






Just wanted to tell everyone about Diana George Babish and her animal shelter just outside of Bethlehem in Beit Sahour.

I visited there this year as part of my side trip with Bike Palestine. She is having a large problem right now because the government officials are in the process of closing her shelter.

She has saved hundreds of dogs and cats from abuse and hunger and abandonment.

As you may know, there is a huge issue in the region with stray dogs. I noticed this on my first trip to Palestine and one of our guides said that the people there are struggling so hard with the activities of daily living there just is not a focus on animals.

The shelter is really doing God's work because not only are they isolated by land but they are also isolated by politics, as well.

Another problem is that there is not a government council such as a humane society or animal protection.

Many dogs are abandoned and end up forming packs that roam the city. The animals cannot survive in this way and sadly, once in a while they attack a child.

She has the only animal shelter in the West Bank and right now she needs all of the help she can get.

If anyone out there has any suggestions for helping or can adopt any dog or cat this would save the life of an animal.

She easily provides documents, crates and instructions--hundreds of her rescued dogs have been adopted all over the world.

Here is a link to her facebook page and thank you for taking the time to read this post:


Here is a link to the facebook page of the shelter for more info on signing a petition, sending and e-mail to the government council and also a Go fund Me:



Check out Boss--he is a cool cat and he needs a home.

I wrote a post about the animal shelter in Bethlehem. If you want me to edit it in some way so you can put it on your page just let me know. This lady is working so hard to help the dogs and cats. I visited her and fell in love with the people and the place. I am trying to tell every one about it. thank you for your time, Cl

Francesca Hilton and Miss Liz: The First Meeting

"No, it was just a regular day in Beverly Hills."

"Making an appointment with my manicurist at the Jose Eber Salon a lovely lady could not help but notice my Louis Vutton Case."

"What is that," she exclaimed.

"It was made for me specifically, for my wig--everyone notices it and always has something to say.  Truly, it is a sight to behold.  The case is gorgeous--the size and shape are so unusual."

"This individual turned out to be the one and only Francesca Hilton with her effervescent  personality.  Always overflowing with words and a natural for a conversation with everyone."

"Jose has got to see this!"

"Francesca insisted and proceeded to promenade us directly to the inner sanctum of Jose Eber.  Yes, he was impressed with my possession and we all have been friends ever since."

"That day we could not stop talking and it did seem like a friendship with a certain chemistry was taking place."

"We exchanged phone numbers and eventually got together."

"We have been the best of friends ever since," Miss Liz related.

"This was back in 2007 and while it is true there were ups and downs in the relationship our friendship endured."

Like so many of her friends, Miss Liz was saddened and wondered what happened towards the end of Francesca Hilton's life.

"Many of us are still trying to put the puzzle pieces together."

"We loved her and once in a while we were perplexed by her behavior."

"Francesca was a very colorful person and rather complex."

"Her life was indeed a paradox."


Many of her friends were left wondering what happened to their friend after her passing.

It seems like many of the individuals in her circle would like to tell the story of their beautiful friend, Francesca Hilton.


Thank you, Miss Liz, for taking the time to chat and telling us a very memorable story about this unique individual with  an unusual life.


Miss Liz talked about her friend, Francesca Hilton on her reality show, The Life With Liz.

JVP, Ilhan Omar and Progress in The West Bank: #LovePalestine


Within hours of being elected, Ilhan Omar was compared to neo-nazi sympathizers. Columnists labeled her an anti-semite. The ADL said it was ‘alarmed’. 
Why? Because Omar will be the first member of Congress who publicly supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement - and they’re terrified.
Let’s call this for what it is: Ilhan Omar is a brave Black Muslim American woman, who’s a huge threat to unquestioning pro-Israel support in Congress. 
That’s why the rest of the money we raise today will go to our Congressional program so we can convince other progressive politicians to join her. Donate now to add your support:

Let’s appreciate for a moment just how incredible this is.
Our first divestment campaign - against Caterpillar for their role bulldozing the West Bank and Gaza - got started in 2003. Our journey to build a pro-equality, pro-Palestinian bloc in Congress has been almost as long. 
For years, JVP has dedicated resources and staff time to support campaigns, organizations and public figures in these struggles. And now these two strands of our work are weaving together.
Airbnb’s decision to stop doing business in illegal settlements is a massive victory for the BDS movement. And the backlash by the Israeli government and old-guard Jewish groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center (who condemned the BDS movement while calling for a boycott of Airbnb) shows just how powerful we have become.
Ilhan Omar represents the sea-change in public opinion about Israel’s apartheid policies. 
That’s why we're making today about building up leaders in Congress - and in halls of power across the country. Because the more support we can create for her, the more progressive politicians we’ll win over. Donate now to add your support:
Onward,

Granate Kim
Communications Director

PS: We're sending you to our Facebook campaign for this campaign in part because they're matching gifts on #GivingTuesday, but also to make sure they get a message. In spite of their systematic removal of Palestinian accounts, and more recent attacks on George Soros, we're still here fighting for Palestinians and Jews, everywhere! (And if you don't want to give through Facebook, you can always use jvp.org/givingtuesday).

How To Talk With Your Relatives During The Holidays: Sally Kohn and Brad Montague on @TheRonnieRe

Worried about the holidays with your politically-opposite loved ones? We’ve got you covered!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Today, the amazingly talented Brad Montague and I are announcing our #HowToTalkPolitics series of instructional cartoons to help YOU have engaging conversations that don’t lead to throwing mashed potatoes — and might even lead to CHANGE! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We’ll be posting a new tip every day between now and Thanksgiving. Read them. Share them. Use them. These are scientifically and experientially backed strategies for having difficult conversations about difficult issues, even with difficult people. 😉⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
A few important overall 🚨DISCLAIMERS 🚨 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. This is hard. It’s called the high road not the easy road.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2. This is optional. You can NOT talk politics with your relatives. That’s okay. Talk about about something else. Even argue about something else, like whether Dirty Dancing was the best movie of the 20th century. This is if you want to talk politics AND do so in a way that doesn’t make them dig in their heels but potentially, overtime, change their minds. Which is what you want, right? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
3. Remember: No one in the history of forever has been yelled at or hated into changing their mind. It doesn’t work that way. And it doesn’t make you feel good, either. ⁣⁣⁣
💔⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
With that… HERE is the first tip in the series! 🙌

102 and what to do: Living with the narcissist

But you don't even like your mother.........

My son quickly reminded me as I suggested he call her on her birthday.

Yes, all of it is true--but what do you do when someone is 102 and insisting the facility will be having a real big celebration in her honor.

Yes, they did take her picture in preparation for the day but fearing there was not really an event scheduled my cousin kindly suggested we make our own celebration.

Okay, what does that mean?

Made a cake, cupcakes, her favorite, German Chocolate with traditional Coconut Pecan Frosting.

Yes, they were delicious and like last year no one ate a bite including the birthday girl, however, the picture was taken.

Balloons--Balloons equal celebration.  Right?

Mother voiced her disapproval often when one of the other residents had balloons tied to their eating area.  "Why are those balloons there, they've been there for over a week?"

Transparency comes with age.....

Not accepting the birthday explanation and repeating the same question endlessly, like all of our conversations, one could interpret balloons may be a success for the lady in question as evidence of a special mark on that day.

Word Search Puzzle Book, a good selection of fluorescent highlighter pens, a real nice card expressing a somewhat truthful sentiment--the card was real pretty and expensive--and balloons tied to a plant with sparkly bows to sit at the table by her chair created the festive atmosphere.  The facility had tied more balloons to her walker and many big wigs came by to wish her a special day.

Off to the cafeteria for lunch and forced to leave my dog outside at the window by our table.  (I wanted to eat outside with the dog as it was a nice day but mother and my cousin had created a plan in advance--it was a gang-up.)

It's always better to have a pit bull at your side when one is with mother.

Yes, we did have a nice lunch and I went out often to give Coco bread, as an avid ACoAer I'm proud to admit I have a co-dependent relationship with a dog.  It's who I am and not open for discussion.

(When mother first saw my beloved and perfect Ronnie she said  "Gee, I don't think I could just walk into your house without knocking," and later reasoned that dog would give up his life for you.)

(After faltering in memory and falling she wanted me to put Ronnie down in order to stay with her.  I was horrified--like I would just put my kid down to accommodate her wishes.)

The grandson called as we were eating and being loud in the cafeteria mother kept repeating who is this?   The name was shouted she exclaimed I can't believe I'm 200.

In conclusion the day turned out well with only a slight amount of resentment retained.

Readers, when my kids were small and going on about how to celebrate Christmas on a budget mother suggested just not telling them it was Christmas and they would not know the difference.  Just skip it.

You know what mother, that's really not why I had kids.

Hypochondria, allergies and nervous breakdowns have been conquered by time and lack of memory--one cannot stand to do the dishes when they have the combo of heart disease and swollen ankles,

The one guy said in ACOA, the group leader, it's your story and your reality.

Saddled with the person so over concerned with their own dilemmas and handily using illness as a manipulative tool she could not be bothered or interested with the activities of kid fun things.

"Oh, don't you remember your birthday party when you were 8 years old and I had a heart attack?

Panera Bread: Read the add carefully before getting in the car........

Sherry, buy lunch today, get free breakfast tomorrow.

Here's the thing..... I went to Panera yesterday to take advantage of this offer but after driving in traffic for half of an hour the store did not have any idea about this promotion. I bought lunch anyway. It was good even though it was expensive. The chairback cushion on the wicker benches outside kept falling forward on my back. If I would have known this in advance I could have saved time gas and money and gone to the taco truck by my house with equally as good of food and only spent less than 3 dollars for two delicious fish tacos. Why not be more specific about this offer. The person that waited on me and the manager knew nothing about it and said some Paneras are different in the way they are a franchise or affiliated with the parent company. It was just an odd situation and it would have been nice to have all of the info in the e-mail that was sent. Buy lunch today, get free breakfast tomorrow........
I woner why the Panera closed in Hillcrest--it was so lovely.
