      Portraits Project - Resisting the War - Israel

      Shani, 25, is a student and part-time social media coordinator. She always thought that the occupation must end because of the harm it causes to Palestinians, but when the war started she realized the extent to which it hurts Israelis too — and not only in an indirect manner, through the militaristic and racist environment it creates. She also had to deal with the fact that her partner enlisted in the reserves. “As a leftist, I’ve never thought I’ll ever need to deal with this, and suddenly there's an ideological and emotional difficulty. If he was a combat soldier I wouldn’t be able to date him. And it’s also simply hard to be away from a person that is close to me in such a difficult time.” Photo by Yahel Gazit/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

        (231222) -- HULUN BUIR, Dec. 22, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Nairag (1st L) takes part in a horse racing competition of the Nadam fair in Hulun Buir, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Dec. 17, 2023. Winter usually means challenges for herdsmen living on the grasslands. Severe cold and snow always affect their daily life. But for Erdendalai, a herdsman living in Hulun Buir, winter is still a busy season. In addition to taking care of more than 200 heads of cattle, sheep and horses he owns, Erdendalai also enjoys an important activity of horse racing. Horses have always been a reliable means of transportation and an indispensable partner in the life of herdsmen in Hulun Buir. Erdendalai was once an excellent horse racer, with medals and trophies all over his home. As years gone by, he became a horse trainer and took on an 17-year-old apprentice Nairag. This winter, Nairag and his schoolmate Ijil signed up to participate in the 20th Ice and Snow Nadam fair of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
