مشترياتي للشتوية ٢٠١٩/winter haul 2019 Beautiful Hannah





Trying to show the other Palestine, the one we never see on the news featuring the beautiful Hannah Zaid.

#LovePalestine

Just wanted to tell everyone about the animal shelter of another beautiful lady Diana George Babish and her very lovely dogs that she rescues in Beit Sahour.

I have a donation button on my facebook page to benefit her dog and cat shelter.  She works very hard to find homes for dogs she finds on the streets of Bethlehem and the surrounding areas.  She provides food and housing and medical care, microchips, papers for traveling and crates for the plane ride.

The issue is finding homes for these lovely animals due to physical and political isolation.  If you would like to make a donation that would be wonderful or if you would just like to share the info that would be fabulous, also.

If you have any tips on sharing or other good ideas please let me know.

Thank you for reading.

My Beautiful Friends (Dogs) in Jenin #LovePalestine

Touring the countryside of Palestine with Bike Palestine, enjoying the history, the food, the olive groves and almond orchards one could not help but notice the stray dogs.

Why are all of these dogs just hanging around all by themselves out in the country?

After barking all night at our hotel in Jenin taking pictures at 6 AM was mandatory.




I will never get this guy out of my mind.......

He was young and he was friendly but he had to keep sitting down.

They were waiting for breakfast.

This is his friend.

This lovely gentleman is his friend, too.

Outside of our hotel.

Thank you for reading.

Go To Palestine--Ride a Bike--Get a Dog #LovePalestine

Go To Palestine--Ride a Bike--Get a Dog


#LovePalestine


Just wanted to let everyone know about an upcoming bike trip to Palestine.

I have been on it two times and it is a unique way to experience the Holy Land
and meet the very friendly folks of Palestine.

George Snow runs the 8 day trip two times a year and he has a special ability
to make everyone feel included regardless of their skills on a bike.

There is a van carrying extra bikes and plenty of water and one can ride at any time.

Some went on the tour for biking--there are some steep hills---and part of our group
went on the trip for religious, political or history reasons. My thing--the food is delicious
and I loved seeing the beautiful resorts, The Jordan river and The Dead Sea, etc.

We joined another bike group and toured the streets of Jericho along with the kids from
a local school.

I could not stand not seeing the issues of the Middle East for myself and this was a
perfect way to do it.

The terrain reminds me of Julian with Olive groves and almond orchards instead of apples.

We also visited the Taybeh brewery.

The Banksy Museum and The Walled Off hotel in Bethlehem is an eye opener.

The next trip is in Sept. George is in Italy and he loves to answers questions.

The trip is also through the Siraj Center in Bethlehem.

And by the way can you please stop at the animal shelter of Diana George Babish
in Bethlehem and bring home a dog as you get ready to head out.

I have a ton of pictures and here is a post from George......

George is an excellent source of information as he has been teaching in Palestine for several years.

Early this morning , Lama Shehadeh Tazami from Al Doha, Bethlehem, called us to rescue a small dog hit by a car. The puppy was almost 4 months , hit by a car and left in the middle of the street. We told Lama to ask somone's help to move the puppy to the side road until we come. We came and found the puppy in difficult condition, blood coming out her nose and her eyes are full of blood. We sent the dog in a taxi to a clinic in Jerusalem,where the she got fluid,medicine,and observation since her condition wasn't stable and had severe dehydration .The dog needs more tests and treatment, please urgent help is needed to cover her treatment at the clinic. Whoever wants to help, please donate to her file at Abu Ghosh vet clinic phone number 0545613377, 0723224769 .Thank you
We thank Lama, her husband and the people who help in moving her off the road.
Irresponsibility in driving causes death to many creatures among animals, which consequently causes damage, pain and of course high cost covering the treatment .
تلقينا صباح هذا اليوم اتصالاً من السيدة لما شحادة تزامي تعلمنا عن وجود كلب في وسط الطريق وقد دعسته سيارة. طلبنا منها أن تطلب من المارة وضع الكلب على طريق آمن بعيداً عن الشارع وتسقيه الماء لغاية أن نحضر لمساعدته. وجدنا ان الجروة تبلغ من العمر الاربعة أشهر وفي حالة حرجة عيناها مليئتان بالدم وايضاً أنفها ونفسها ضعيف. تم نقلها بسيارة الى عيادة بالقدس وتتلقى حالياً السوائل والعلاج كونها في حالة جفاف قوية. نشكر السيدة لما وزوجها والناس الذين قاموا بنقل الجروة لطرف الطريق .
الجروة بحاجة الى مساعدة فوضعها حرج وبحاجة لمزيد من صور الاشعة والعلاج، فمن يرغب بمساعدتها الاتصال بالعيادة على الارقام التالية : 0545613377 و 0723224769 . شكراً
الاستهتار بالارواح يسبب الموت للكائنات الحية منها الحيوانات التي تتعرض للدهس يومياً دون الاكتراث بأن حياتها ايضاً لها ثمن هذا ويتسبب أيضاً بمخاسر مادية لمن يقوم بمعالجتها.

They do a good job of explaining the news.

.....................................

Diana George Babish is a lady who lives in Bethlehem.  She has an animal shelter for dogs.  There are very many dogs who live on their own in this area of the world.

She is working very hard to try and find homes for these animals.  They are all very clean and friendly.  She has kennels ready for transport and all of the papers needed to take one home.

Sometimes in the area dogs are poisoned or just abandoned. 
Diana and her friend Sabrina talking about her animal shelter.

They are hungry and thirsty and in need of health care.

This lady spends her day trying to care for these creatures and in the night she often receives calls to go and pick up another dog in need of her help.

Can you help this lady in any way?

Can you get a dog.

One can fly to Tel Aviv from the UK for about 250 dollars on a discount flight.

Here is a little more information about her and a link to her facebook page:

Thank you for reading and if you have any suggestions for helping the lovely animals feel free to offer any ideas.

Back on the air: The McLaughlin Group 6/3/18--Woof






Everyone is so excited to see The McLaughlin Group back on the air. Do you think John McLaughlin would be proud?  It seems like so many people loved him.

We loved John at the ronnie re.

As all of the folks out there are chatting about The Group being back on television can a few words be mentioned about the Palestine Pups.

This very lovely group of dogs are all looking for that special home. 

Are you able to run over to Tel Aviv and pick one up.  It is actually quite reasonable from the UK but if you cannot get over there any time soon can you do everything possible to get the word out.

Here is a post about Diana George Babish and her animal shelter in Bethlehem--feel free to share this info in any way and if anyone has any suggestions please jump in.  They are all lovely dogs and they all need a home.

Here is the post:

Do You Like Dogs.........#LovePalestine

Palestine Pups are in need of a good home.


Do you like dogs........


Would you like to find a home for some very lovely individuals--friendly, cute and in need of that special someone who can provide a safe and loving place to stay.


Your companion is waiting in Bethlehem.


They live in the animal shelter of Diana George Babish.

She is working very hard to find homes for these creatures she has rescued from the streets of this occupied area.

The people in Palestine are struggling just to meet their needs of everyday life under a confining rule.

The dogs and cats are suffering, as well.



Diana George Babish has kindly helped dogs that have been abandoned or even poisoned.

Her dogs can be easily transported from Tel Aviv.

She will provide all of the papers and kennel necessary for transportation.



Believe it or not it is less expensive to go and get the dog than ship this animal as cargo.

Here is her facebook page:


https://www.facebook.com/diana.babish

Diana and her friend Sabrina from Work-away

Contact her on Facebook or send a message to find out more particulars.


Maybe you cannot go and get a dog right now but can you put the word out.
Diana takes good care of the dogs and they are friendly


What do you think?


Can you help these Palestine Pups.



#LovePalestine








This pup had a serious skin condition--Diana worked very hard to get his coat healthy and now he is going to a good home in Sweden.


This is my dog Coco.  She was on her own in Mexico.  In San Diego we have several groups that rescue dogs from this area but the problem in Bethlehem is isolation by location and politics.

Here is a link to more photos of dogs and the shelter:

10 Tips on visiting Palestine & Israel: Green Olive Tours on @TheRonnieRe #LovePalestine

10 Tips on visiting Palestine & Israel



copied from Green Olive Tours



1. PREPARATION - Do some advance reading about the country’s history, religions & politics. This will enhance your visit.


Here’s some suggested reading

  a. A Brief Framing of the Palestine/Israel Conflict. This short 15-page booklet is an essential place to begin your learning curve of the region. Free download here.

  b. A comprehensive suggested reading list can be found at this link.

(This is a copied page of a PDF--please go to the very informative website of Green Olive Tours to actually get the link.  cl)



2. THE AIRPORT - Entering the country is an adventure in itself. Israeli security is legendary for ferreting out ‘undesirable tourists’ and whisking them out of the country almost before their feet touches the airport tarmac. ‘Undesirable’ in Israeli terms can mean anyone who has publicly criticised the government and been audacious enough to promote their views on FaceBook or other public media. Having stamps in your passport from places like Lybia or Iran is also a ‘red flag’. Here’s our advice to get through Ben Gurion airport without being invited to the proverbial ‘back room’ for a chat:

 a. Brush your teeth and wash up before your flight starts to descend.

 b. Dress well. There’s something about a collar and tie, or a smart dress, that disarms Israeli security.

 c. Sloppy dress or hippy-ish looks, will raise an immediate red flag.

 d. Wear a large Jewish or Christian religious symbol.

 e. The first word out of your mouth at passport control should be ‘Shalom’.

 f. Try and avoid the words, ‘Palestine’, ‘West Bank’, or anything that indicates that you see yourself as visiting ‘Palestine’, not Israel. Above all, smile at the passport officer. He/she can make a snap judgement based solely on your demeanour, and press the little red button on the floor to summon a plain clothed person with a flesh coloured ear bud.




3. HOSTELS & HOTELS - So you made it out of the airport - Congratulations. Where to go? The airport is almost half way between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem so either city is a good place to start. Tel Aviv is a vibrant cosmopolitan city on the beach with a large number of great hostels and hotels. We recommend being less than a 15-minute walk from the beach. Jerusalem likewise has a variety of options which differ between the West and the East side of the city. Generally East Jerusalem hotels and hostels are Palestinian-managed, and those in West Jerusalem are Israeli managed. For specific recommendations, please send an email from this link.



4. DRESS CODES - If you travel to traditional Muslim areas, such Hebron or Nablus, or to an ultra orthodox Jewish neighbourhood such as Mea Sharim in Jerusalem, you should cover your body parts - for both men and women long trousers (pants) and a shirt that covers the shoulder and upper arms would be enough - it’s recommended for a female to always carry a scarf to cover her hair or shoulders when visiting religious places. For more details check this link.



5. SAFETY - In both Israel and Palestinian areas, the streets are very safe. Violent crime is relatively rare and it is usually quite safe for solo woman The occasional political violence rarely impacts on foreign tourists who are usually not the target. For more details see this link.

6. COMMUNICATION - One of the oddities of the country is that people call it by different names, depending on your location and the religion of the person you are talking to. Whether referred to as ‘Israel’ or ‘Palestine’, locals usually meaning the same piece of land from the river to the sea - the majority of Palestinian Arabs, even those who are Israeli citizens, do not like the country to be called Israel and the opposite is true for Israelis who don’t like the country to be called Palestine. Be aware of whom you are talking to. In many places using Hebrew will elicit a negative response, and using Arabic in Jewish areas will likewise often not be welcome. That applies to greetings such as ‘Shalom’ or ‘Salaam’.



7. LOCALES - Moving between Jerusalem and Tel aviv often feels like travelling to another country and switching cultures, although they are just an hour’s drive from each other. Tel Aviv is a cosmopolitan city, whereas Jerusalem is traditional and heavily religious. Similarly, travelling from a Jewish town to an Arab town will also seem like you’ve moved countries, even though these locations are often just a few kilometres apart.



8. TRANSPORT - There are good roads and public transport throughout the country.

 a. Public transport in Israel is generally quite good. Trains and buses go everywhere in the country but are limited or non-existent during the Sabbath in Jewish areas of Israel, . Public transport is also quite good in Palestinian areas, and runs 7 days a week in most areas.

 b. Car rental in Israel is ubiquitous and intercity roads are excellent, however most yellow-plated Israeli rental cars are not insured for Palestinian areas in the West Bank. Palestinian car rental companies in east Jerusalem will rent you a car with full coverage for both Israel and the West Bank. If you rent a car from a Palestinian company in Bethlehem or Ramallah with a green/white license plate you won’t be able to drive it across the Green Line into Israel



9. CURRENCY - Cash machines or ATMs (‘Caspomat’ in Hebrew) are everywhere in Israel. Even at kiosks on the street. However always carry some shekels cash, especially when travelling in Palestinian territories, since many places accept only cash, and ATM’s can be rare outside the cities in the West Bank.


10. MEETING PEOPLE - Make sure to engage in discussions with local people. Most Israelis and Palestinians are friendly so if you have a chance to speak with the Arab or Jewish population, engaging with them in a discussion will teach you a lot and enrich your journey. Even though it’s a small country between the river and the sea, different people live under different laws, circumstances etc. Try to visit different types of communities in your most likely short trip, such as Israelis from a kibbutz, Mizrahi Jews, ultra-orthodox Jews, Palestinian villagers, Christian Palestinians and Palestinians from the city.
