On Resistance

On Resistance is the result of a two-year journey by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Ahmad Al-Bazz, who set out to document what remains of hundreds of depopulated Palestinian villages. Through over 75 large, detailed color photographs and concise historical accounts, this book bears witness to the destruction that accompanied the creation of the state of Israel - and the silent remnants that still endure today. Across the landscape, the ghosts of Palestinian life persist. Traces of demolished homes, abandoned mosques, and uprooted communities are embedded in nearly every Israeli settlement, haunting the present with the memory of what was erased. With stunning photographic evidence, On Resistance presents a powerful testament to the reality of ethnic cleansing as a founding principle of Israels existenceboth in its execution and its ongoing vision. More than a historical record, this book is a visual and political statement, urging readers to confront the past and its lasting consequences.
