Portraits Project - Resisting the War - Israel

Arel, 32, is a project manager at a human rights organization. He also drums at demonstrations with a group that has long been active in opposing the occupation, which he has continued doing since the war started. He believes that the occupation is the root of the problem in Israel-Palestine, and that this war is its unprecedented radicalization. "People wrote unpleasant things to me on social media. I distanced myself from part of my family and developed paranoia that I might be wiretapped. I began to lose trust in the people who appear in my life."

Owaku-dani Valley

Owakudani is the crater formed by the erruption of Mt. Hakone. Until the beginning of Meiji, it was called Ohjigoku (Big Hell) and was believed to a place where spirits dwell.
