from The Boston Globe‘s Big Picture feature…
The year 2009 is now coming to a close, and it’s time to take a look back over the past 12 months through photographs. Historic elections were held in Iran, India and the United States, some wars wound down while others escalated, China turned 60, and the Berlin Wall was remembered 20 years after it came down. Each photo tells its own tale, weaving together into the larger story of 2009. 120 photographs in total, in 3-parts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, each of the 3 parts contains at least one picture from the attack on Gaza and more of the wider Israel/Palestine conflict.
 Jan 1: Northern Gaza Strip |
 Jan 17: UN school in Beit Lahia |
 Oct 23: Demonstrator uses a tennis racket to return an empty tear gas canister in Bilin, West Bank. |

from JusticeWheels.org:
The sights and sounds of Bethlehem area during the Holiday Season.
Occupation forces doing what they do.
Palestinians and Internationals still refusing to give up and engaging in civil resistance by celebrating Christmas (despite Israel’s efforts to drive us out of our land).
The Shepherds’ Night Festival was put together by the Joint Advocacy Initiative of the YMCA/YWCA and the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement. The boycott of Israel must be our first priority to achieve justice
