From Boston.com's 2009 in photos (part 2 of 3) - The Big Picture:
"Palestinian civilians and medics run to safety during an Israeli strike over a UN school in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip early on January 17, 2009"
"A Palestinian demonstrator uses a tennis racket to return an empty tear gas canister at Israeli soldiers during a protest against the controversial Israeli barrier in the West Bank village of Bilin near Ramallah October 23, 2009"
(naturally, they are much contested in the comments)
Parts 1 and 3 also make for worthwhile viewing
