Palestine: the things you don’t hear about

[Coyote]

Laila Shawa—a revolutionary Palestinian artist who found international fame—has died, aged 82

The artist and activist, described as the ‘mother of Arabic revolutionary art’ has work in the collections of the British Museum and the Ashmolean

www.theartnewspaper.com

One of Palestine’s most accomplished and revolutionary artists, Shawa forged elements of her country’s nature, folklore and architecture into compelling contemporary imagery that chronicled her nation’s plight. A multi-disciplinary artist, Shawa’s painting, photography, silkscreen prints, sculptures and installations powerfully expressed the struggles to liberate Palestine and Palestinian women.

Yet Shawa’s art reached beyond Palestine. She was once described as the “mother of Arabic Revolutionary art” and was one of the first prominent Palestinian artists to cross over into Western markets with her work collected by the British Museum in London and Ashmolean Museum in Oxford as well as the National Galleries of Jordan and Malaysia.

Pet rescue in Gaza: one manâs mission to care for abandoned animals

Horrified by an official campaign to kill strays, Saeed al-Err has made it his life’s work to care for cats and dogs in the city

www.theguardian.com

The dog lay in the middle of Shuhada Street in Gaza City. It had been hit by a car. It looked around, uncertain and terrified, but barked fiercely whenever anyone tried to pick it up.

After a phone call, a man in jeans and a hoodie arrived. Without any fuss, he stepped out of the car, picked up the dog and took it away.

This was Saeed al-Err, the 50-year-old founder of Sulala Animal Rescue, Gaza’s first and only charity rescuing abandoned animals.

His shelter in Gaza City is home to more than 350 dogs. Another rented house in the city hosts about 40 cats, while 30 more are cared for at his home.

Saving abused and abandoned animals in West Bank is her life's work - The Dialog

BETHLEHEM, West Bank — God gives everyone a mission, Diana George Babish said as she fielded a phone call about a dog who had been shot in Hebron. The mission God gave her is to take care of the abused and abandoned animals in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, she said. “God is […]

I love this, and it is actually a British/Israeli/Palestinian collaboration. Donkeys are often horribly abused throughout the world, yet they are sweet, patient and hardworking, often carrying loads far in excess of what they should.

West Bank refuge welcomes unfancied donkeys

RUJAYB, Palestinian Territories: Rakan Silos rises early every Thursday and heads to a West Bank donkey shelter where he helps care for animals that still play an important role in daily Palestinian life. Donkeys that did not attract a buyer at a weekly market in Nablus are brought to the...

www.arabnews.com

Donkeys “work so hard for so little,” but are often plagued by easily treatable conditions like overgrown hooves and bad teeth, the charity says. Some Palestinians still rely on donkeys for transport and in agricultural work.

Silos, who trained at Al-Najah University in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, said donkeys in Nablus are brushed and coddled, the way some in other cultures might treat a cherished horse.

On Thursdays, market day in Nablus, fully grown donkeys are popular sellers, but younger ones often go unsold and abandoned because buyers want animals at full strength rather than one that will take time and money to raise.

“We take care of them until they are adults,” said Wael Salama, who also works at the shelter.



This donkey was doused in petrol and set afire, then left to wander off in agony. He rescued and though it took a while, he made a full recovery. What a great group

Do you know why they set donkeys on fire?

Why do you post those fake pictures again? I pointed out, earlier that tbe burning donkey was from a picture shot of a donkey killed by Israeli gunfire who’s carcass was burned to dispose of. The donkey in the flag was not harmed.

Abuse of donkeys is every where, they don’t have the prestige of horses, and there is often a disdain for them as living souls. Even Israel is not immune. Donkey’s form some of my fondest childhood memories. I love this collaboration.

Ornate Byzantine floor mosaic discovered by Palestinian farmer

Archaeologists believe the find in an olive grove in the Gaza strip dates from 5th-7th century AD

www.theguardian.com

An ornate Byzantine floor mosaic showing colourful birds and other animals has been discovered by chance in Gaza after a Palestinian farmer planted new trees on his land.

Salman al-Nabahin unearthed the mosaic pavement, thought to date from the fifth to the seventh century AD, six months ago while working in his olive orchard in Bureij refugee camp, about half a mile from the border with Israel.

Or not. What does the one have to do with the other. You simply can’t stand to see one iota of anything positive about Palestinians. Cruelty to animals exists throughout the world. Seeing people try to make a difference is good. (Unless, apparently, it’s a Palestinian I guess).

Our friend "Coyote" is correct.

Whatever transgressions (Anti-Semitic, Anti-Israeli, or otherwise) that Mayor Tayseer Abu Sneineh may have made in the past, → they are NOT relevant to the mayoral duties pertaining to the Canine Population Control issue.

Here is an article with a bit more information on what the mayor did and what the towns reaction was. After his edict, a few youths began killing and torturing stray dogs. The town of Hebron was infuriated and the backlash forced the mayor to retract the edict. The problem of stray dogs is a complicated one in many parts of the world. They coexist and adapt within the human community in ways that invite both compassion and a callous brutality. They also problems in that they can carry rabies. Humane solutions are scarce and underfunded, and the traditional Islamic attitude towards dogs is that they are dirty. That is why, imo, groups like these are bright rays of hope. It wasn’t so long ago that our shelters were shooting dogs or stuffing them into gas chambers.

Backlash against the mayor of Hebron's statements about killing stray dogs prompted him to retract his decision.

Then I was correct to question the motive of these propaganda items, in correlation with the news of legislated animal abuse by the Hebron mayor, giving out monetary rewards for killing dogs.

Now you claim, the donkey burned after drawing an Israeli flag on it - was killed by Israel?

See, this making up lame excuses on the go, lying knowingly, doesn't only show your motive to evade real discussion, but actually translates into support for more such abuse of animals,
...not to mention how they treat their people.
