On November 5, 2012, Salim and Arabiya Shawamreh stand among the ruins of their family’s house, demolished for the sixth time four days earlier. First built in 1994, the last previous demolition took place on January 23, 2012. It was rebuilt this summer by international, Palestinian, and Israeli volunteers organized by the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, which has used the house as a peace center since 2003.

The Israeli separation wall, if built as planned, would cut off the village from its agricultural lands. (photo by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler/Activestills.org)

South Sudanese families prepare to leave their apartment, after one member was arrested during a raid of the Israeli immigration authorities, in the city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, November 6, 2012. The apartment was the shelter for the last eight South Sudanese families living in Israel after a mass deportation took place last summer. After the raid, the families started to leave the apartment, in fear of future arrests. (photo by: Oren Ziv/ Activstills.org)
An Israeli activist holds a sign reading “Hell in the south: Stop refugee imprisonment now!” outside an army base turned into a prison for asylum seekers under construction near the current Saharonim prison in the Negev Desert, near the Egyptian border, November 1, 2012. Israel is building a complex of prisons that will be able to house 10,000 asylum seekers. Once completed, it will be the biggest prison for immigrants in the western world.

An African asylum seeker shows a list of names of some of those waiting to renew their temporary visa, outside the Israeli Ministry of Interior’s offices in Tel Aviv, early morning, November 1, 2012. Asylum seekers gather from midnight outside the offices to be first in line. Only 60-70 visas are renewed each day, meaning many have to return the next day to repeat the process. Unlike Israelis coming to the offices, the asylum seekers are not allowed into the building. An officer comes out and takes the documents, leaving the applicants outside, sometimes waiting for hours. The 2AS5 temporary visa must be renewed every 3 months, regardless of the amount of time a person has been living in Israel. The temporary visa is their only legal document issued by the Israeli government, and can be revoked at any time, often without explanation. (photo by: Oren Ziv/ Activestills.org)
Local residents and activists protest outside the building at Balfour Street 2 in the city of Bat Yam, near Jaffa, against the plan to evict those in the building, November 4. 2012. All the residents of the 50 apartments in the building are under threat of eviction from November 7, after the court decided the building is dangerous. Most of the residents of the building are immigrants for Russia, single mothers, and Holocaust survivors, who will be left with no housing solution after the eviction.
