MULTIMEDIA I: Israeli occupation atrocities- in Photos
***IMPORTANT NOTE: I've used many photographs sent to the PFA by more than one photographer, and I'm not sure which belong to whom. So, for those of you who want their names properly credited in this blog, please write to me, and I will correct it****
Since a picture can speak a thousand words, I will let photos do the talking and comment as little as possible:
