A burnt car in the West Bank village of Khirbet al-Marajim, south of Duma, after about 50 Israeli settlers stormed the village the night before, March 15, 2025. The settlers threw stones at residents and set fire to three homes and a car while families were sleeping inside. In one of the rooms, two children were asleep when settlers abducted them and later released them in a different location. Duma has repeatedly been targeted by violent settler attacks. On July 31, 2015, Israeli settlers firebombed a Palestinian family home in the village, killing three people. 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh was burned alive, while both his parents succumbed to their injuries within weeks.
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.
