Saving Dogs in Palestine by Diana Babish
I share with you our daily work for saving dogs in Bethlehem, Palestine. The situation of stray animals in the West Bank is dramatic and most people don't respect their life at all there. Animals are victims of unbelievable cruelty and tortures. Additionally the municipality wants to close our shelter. Despite of challenges we keep on working for saving as many dogs and animals as possible. At the moment we need adoptions, money and simply, food. #shelter #bethlehemshelter #bethlehem #palestine #adoptdontshop #adoptme #adoptdogs #adoptstrays #adoptiondays #dogs #straydogs #animals #foster #foreverhomes #donate #donations #pleasehelp #pleaseshare

Cycling The Countryside of Palestine
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. Just couldn't 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

Ireland Draws Israel's Ire With Legislation To Ban Imports From West Bank Settlements by Dominic Dudley for Forbes #LovePalestine

Ireland Draws Israel's Ire With Legislation To Ban Imports From West Bank Settlements
The Israeli government has condemned a move by Irish parliamentarians to ban trade between Ireland and Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which are deemed illegal under international law by most countries.
The Seanad, the upper house of the Irish parliament, voted on July 11 by 25 votes to 20 to support a bill that would ban the import of goods or services from West Bank settlements. The legislation – the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 – still has to go through the lower house of parliament, the Dáil, before it can become law. However, while the Irish governing party Fine Gael has officially opposed the bill, it does not have a majority in either chamber. As a result, if the parties which supported the bill in the Seanad also do so in the Dáil then the bill would pass.
Independent senator Frances Black, one of seven senators to sponsor the bill in the Seanad, welcomed the result, writing on Twitter: “This is a first step but an important one. Today we state strongly: Ireland will always stand for int humanitarian law, justice & human rights.”
However, the passage of the bill through the Seanad set off a round of condemnation from the Israeli government.
The Irish ambassador to Israel, Alison Kelly, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs(MFA) to be told of the Israeli government’s opposition to the legislation.
In a statement issued on July 11, a spokesperson for Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the Seanad’s vote as giving support to “a populist, dangerous and extremist anti-Israel boycott initiative” which would have “a negative impact on the diplomatic process in the Middle East” and would harm the livelihoods of Palestinians who work in Israeli facilities targetted by the bill.
MORE FROM FORBES
The statement went on to say that Israel “will consider its response in accordance with developments regarding this legislation”, suggesting that there may be more concrete measures if the bill becomes law.
Some senior figures have already gone further though. Defense minister Avigdor Lieberman has called for Israel to close its embassy in Dublin, tweeting that “There is no point in summoning the Irish ambassador to Israel for a ‘reprimand’. With the oppressors of Israel there is nothing to argue with. Israel should immediately close the embassy in Dublin. We will not turn the other cheek to those who boycott us.”
One concern of the Israeli authorities appears to be that the Irish legislation will set give a boost to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which campaigns to isolate the Israeli economy because of the Israeli government’s promotion of settlements in the West Bank, the treatment of Palestinians and other issues.
It could also set an example that other countries around Europe might follow, something which chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat noted in his comments welcoming the Seanad vote “This courageous step builds on the historic ties between Ireland and Palestine, as well as it shows the way forward for the rest of the European Union,” he said.

Saturday In the Park: Coco Goes to Morley Field Balboa Park in San Diego
What day is it?
Oh, that's right it's Saturday. I'll go to the park.
I just love the way they do these flowers at the tennis club.
I've always enjoyed Cannas.
I'll stroll on the nature path featuring local shrubs to the dog park.
It is basically just on the other side of the tennis courts but I like to think of it as a Eucalyptus Grove in the middle of a city.
A chance to rebalance--what is really important.
More folks are enjoying the velodrome since it was repaved. I predicted that.
This is the tree where the red tail hawk family hangs out. Zoo parking lot in the distance.
Work out bars with my favorite Jacaranda Tree.
Navy Hospital.
The hawks have a giant nest right above us--they use it every year.
The play area for the kids at the end of the Zen Path. I'm only slightly resentful my mom will not let me go there.
Oh, that's right it's Saturday. I'll go to the park.
I've always enjoyed Cannas.
Listening to the Jazz concert at Bird Park
I always bring a book.
If donald read John LeCarre would he have a better grip on the Putin-Russia thing?
Saturday is the one day I refuse to plan.
