“This twilight is seen as possibility: possibly day, possibly night, neither wholly one nor the other. And, yet, it is time for creation.”
A visual exploration of American Jewish identity & anti-occupation activism in Palestine
The Israeli military occupation controls every single aspect of Palestinian life, expanding Israeli settlements across the West Bank.
Jewish anti-occupation activists, often ostracized from their home communities, create new identities and communities.
American Jewish activists spend time in the southern West Bank, supporting local activists and Palestinian communities.
Activists - identifying as both Jews and Americans - express a dual sense of responsibility for Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
An evolving Jewish identity is being shaped by anti-occupation activism, and activism itself is a Jewish act.
