A Palestinian man inspects a mosque that was set on fire by Israelis overnight, in the West Bank village of Jiljilyya, north of Ramallah, 17 June 2026. Attackers sprayed graffiti on the walls, reading “revenge”. Another nearby mosque was set on fire the same night, and earlier in the week another mosque, again in the Ramallah region, was burnt in the village of Burqa. There has been an increasing number of attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian property in the West Bank, including arson attacks on mosques.
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.
