Portraits Project - Resisting the War - Israel

Noa, 38, is the director of a critical language school teaching Hebrew, Arabic and English. Since the war started, she has attended all of the anti-war protests in Tel Aviv. “The prevailing sentiment, often expressed as ‘this is not the time [for criticism]’, became a suffocating force. The atmosphere became more and more daunting. Fear permeated and paralyzed almost every protest action, with threats and persecution of activists, and violent dispersal and arrests at demonstrations. A teacher was arrested because he published the names of dead Gazans.” Photo by Yahel Gazit/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
