Israeli forces conducting a training drill near and inside villages in the Masafer Yatta area, West Bank, February 3, 2021. The military activity caused damages to infrastructure, agricultural land and residential structures, and took place in an area Israel designates as a firing zone despite it being populated by numerous communities, which it has been trying to expel for over 20 years. This was the first drill in the area since 2013, and the first one of such proportions since the firing zone was declared. Residents say it is intended to pressure the Israeli High Court to sanction the expulsion of the communities from their land.
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.
