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:

Only Israeli occupation soldiers are allowed to take photos...for their own ends of course

And while this one is being taken for medical treatment by his colleagues, another one will be hit in the back

This poor biker in the white shirt is about to get a taste of Israeli brutality

...he is attacked from behind..

...and then put to the ground

Now the officer goes for a woman

...ends the race...

un-mounts the remaining bikers

...ditches the bikes

Here goes another... 

And one big bike cemetery..compliments of the Israeli army
