Mass demonstration against the war on Gaza and war crimes commited by Israel, Tel Aviv, December 27, 2008. On December 27, 2008 Israeli forces began a wave of attacks on the Gaza Strip. A ground invasion followed on January 3, 2009. This offensive, known as "Operation Cast Lead", killed some 1,400 Palestinians, most of them civilians. 13 Israelis were also killed in the fighting, though four of them were soldiers who died from "friendly fire".
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.
