A masked Palestinian protester wearing a Santa Claus hat throws stones, during the 39th "Great March of Return" weekly Friday protest near the Israeli-built barrier that surrounds Gaza, east of Gaza City, Gaza Strip, December 21, 2018. During the demonstration the Israeli army shot and killed four Palestinians- Mohammed al-Jahjouh (16), Maher Yasin (40), Abed al-Aziz Sharia (28) and Iman Munir Shubir (18). According to the Gaza Health Ministry at least 40 protesters were wounded by live fire, including four paramedics and four members of the press. The "Great March of Return" demonstrations started on March 30, 2018, calling for the Right of Return of Palestinian refugees, and an end to the Israeli siege over the Gaza Strip.
The Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers, out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and to raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse.
We view ourself as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom. We do work on various topics, including the grassroots movement and the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s rights, immigration, asylum-seekers, social justice, the siege on Gaza, and housing rights inside Israel.
