Eurovision 2019 is held in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv next week. It is titled "Dare to Dream", under the banner of inclusion, diversity and unity. We asked Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, what their dreams are. This is their message. Produced by Activestills in collaboration with Rauhankasvatusinstituutti ry and Häiriköt-päämaja.
DARE TO DREAM, PART 2: The Eurovision 2019 will be held next week in Tel Aviv. During the competition, each participating country will be presented with a video postcard, showing beautiful landscapes and people dancing cheerfully. What these postcards won’t be showing, is the reality of the Israeli occupation and apartheid. Here is our greeting postcard from Palestine, with a message for those who are coming here to celebrate. Produced by Activestills in collaboration with Rauhankasvatusinstituutti ry and Häiriköt-päämaja.

The work of Activestills photographer Ezz Zaanoun
Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch Director in Palestine and Israel, accompanied by supporters in Ben Gurion Airport, leaving the country after being expelled by Israel. November 25, 2019. Israel revoked the work visa of Shakir, a United States citizen, in May 2018 on the asserted grounds that his advocacy violated an Israeli law that bars entry to people who advocate a boycott of Israel or its settlements in the occupied West Bank. Shakir is the first International human rights observer expelled under BDS Law.
Palestinian, International and Israeli activists take part in a direct action inside an Israeli outpost in the Jordan Valley, West Bank, October 26, 2019. Israeli forces detained 34 people, among them 23 activists and 11 Palestinian journalists. Phones and cameras were confiscated from the Palestinian journalists. All detainees were released the same night except one Palestinian that is still under arrest.
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.
