After its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and its German premiere at DOK Leipzig, Raj’in (“We Shall Return”) will compete in IDFA’s DocLab Competition for Immersive Non-Fiction in Amsterdam this week.
Co-created by Faiz Abu Rmeleh and Keren Manor and co-produced by B’Tselem and @nowhere.media, the film documents Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinian shepherding communities in the occupied West Bank. Filmed over three years, it combines 360° footage with documentation filmed by Palestinian residents and protective presence activists. Through virtual reality, the film immerses viewers in the reality of settler violence, military raids, home demolitions, and forced displacement.
In this video, Jaber ‘Ali Dababseh and ‘Alya Mleihat, Raj’in’s main protagonists, share their experience of watching the film at the Venice festival. The film documents Jaber’s struggle to remain on his land despite attacks and home demolitions, and ‘Alya’s repeated displacement. Its title comes from the words ‘Alya spray-painted on her home before she was forced to leave: “Raj’in” — “We Shall Return.”
The reality documented in the film continues. Between 2023 and 2025 alone, 185 new settlement outposts were established, about 130 of them farm outposts. By July 2026, through the violence of the military and settler militias, Israel seized more than 1.07 million dunams, 18% of the West Bank. Between 7 October 2023 and October 2026, 65 Palestinian communities were entirely forcibly displaced and another 18 partially displaced.
Israel is driving Palestinian communities from their homes and lands as part of its project to eliminate Palestinian collective life in the West Bank. The international community must act now to stop the elimination project.
Come and experience Raj’in at IDFA, International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, November 13–22, 2026, at the VR gallery in De Brakke Grond. Link in our bio.

Over the past three years, in Gaza, Israel has destroyed entire neighborhoods and cities, forced about 1.9 Million Palestinians from their homes, and destroyed most of the civilian infrastructure. It continues to block reconstruction and restrict the entry of essential supplies and aid. Now that the winter rains have arrived, people are struggling to find shelter.
About 950,000 residents of Gaza are exposed to the rain and cold in displacement camps. In just 12 hours, some 70,000 tents were flooded, emergency services received more than 1,500 distress calls and three buildings collapsed.
“Winter hasn’t even started yet, and my tent and everything inside is flooded. What will I do when the worst of it hits?” Shireen Munir Ma’aruf, 24, a mother of two with another on the way, was forced to leave her home in Beit Lahiya. She is now living in a tent in western Gaza City and does not know how the family will survive the winter.
Despite the declaration of a "ceasefire" 13 months ago, Israel continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza and prevent the reconstruction of bombed homes and infrastructure. This is what the beginning of a fourth winter under genocide looks like.

New settlement in Jericho, thousands of Palestinians displaced from their homes, widespread demolitions and record settler attacks: As the political establishment focuses on forming a new government, Israel continues to put facts on the ground in the West Bank.
As Israel’s political establishment focuses on forming a new government, the dispossession, displacement and destruction of Palestinian communities across the West Bank continue. Within days, a new settlement was established on the outskirts of Jericho; Israel demolished 12 structures in the community of Bir al-Maskub in the E1 area; more than 3,000 Palestinians were temporarily displaced from their homes during a military raid in Hebron; and in October, the UN documented 457 settler attacks, the highest monthly figure since it began recording them in 2006.
The elections are over, but the elimination project in the West Bank has not stopped for a moment. These are not separate incidents, but different mechanisms Israel employs to dismantle the conditions that enable Palestinians to continue living on their land and to expand Jewish-Israeli control and presence. The world continues to let Israel establish facts on the ground.

On 11 July 2025, settlers invaded land belonging to the town of al-Mazra’ah a-Sharqiyah in the Ramallah District, attacked residents and shot and killed Muhammad Shalabi (23). Seif Allah Mislet (21), who was also assaulted by settlers, collapsed while fleeing and died of heart failure caused by fear and physical exertion.
Two weeks earlier, settlers had established an outpost on the town’s land. When the settlers invaded the area, Palestinian residents came there out of concern that settlers would take over more of their land.
After settlers and village residents threw stones at each other, a pickup truck carrying five settlers arrived at the scene, three of them masked and armed with clubs. The settlers attacked an ambulance and a private car that had arrived to evacuate the injured, smashed their windows and chased young men attempting to flee. Additional settler vehicles arrived and blocked the young men’s escape routes. One of the settlers shot Muhammad Shalabi in the back, causing him to fall to the ground. His body was found only hours later.
Meanwhile, Seif Allah Mislet, who had been attacked by settlers and fled, collapsed and lost consciousness. Residents trying to rescue him struggled to reach him because of the settlers in the area. Border Police officers and settlers blocked Palestinian ambulances trying to reach the wounded. Border Police officers also fired tear gas grenades at residents attempting to approach.
The killing of the two young men is part of a broader reality of violence by settler militias backed by the state. This violence is one of the central mechanisms of the Elimination Project Israel is advancing in the West Bank, through which it is working to uproot Palestinian communities, dispossess them of their land and expand Israeli control over the area.

Palestinian families were forced from their homes, soldiers took over residential buildings, and the military demolished structures. Following the shooting near Hebron on Friday, 23 October, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz declared Israel's intention to forcibly displace Palestinians and carry out extensive destruction in the area. This is a campaign of collective punishment.
Between 23 and 26 October, Israeli forces forcibly displaced Palestinian families from their homes in the Jildah and 'Ein Deir Bahah neighborhoods, and soldiers took over numerous homes, flying Israeli flags over several buildings. The arrest and interrogation of residents continued on Saturday. As of Monday, 26 October, the Hebron Municipality reported 518 displaced families, comprising 3,368 people, including 1,384 minors.
The mass displacement and destruction carried out by Israel in Hebron are part of its Elimination Project in the West Bank: systematically dismantling Palestinian collective life.

Israel will hold elections on Tue., Oct. 27. For Palestinians, the ballot box offers little escape from the status quo – especially when the next generation of Israeli voters is pushing politics even further to the right. We asked @btselem’s Yuli Novak to break down the increasingly genocidal discourse shaping the political landscape.

B’Tselem urgently calls on governments and international institutions to act now, using all means available under international law, to prevent the forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians, collective punishment and extensive unlawful destruction in Hebron. Israeli leaders are openly declaring their intentions, and actions on the ground have already begun.
Following the shooting near Hebron on 23 October, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz openly announced plans to forcibly displace Palestinian residents and carry out extensive destruction in the area.
In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared: “We will apply in the cities the successful offensive model we implemented in the refugee camps.”
That same model has already displaced more than 33,000 Palestinians in the northern West Bank. Now, Israeli leaders are threatening to bring the same mass displacement and destruction to Hebron.
Implementation has already begun. Israeli forces imposed a cordon on Hebron and Halhul, while the Civil Administration began demolishing Palestinian structures in the neighborhood of Farsh al-Hawa. At the same time, Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the establishment of four new settlement farming outposts in the South Hebron Hills.
Israeli leaders are openly announcing plans for collective punishment and acts that could constitute war crimes. These plans echo Israel’s devastating operations as part of the genocide in Gaza and mark a further escalation of its ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing as part of the Elimination Project in the West Bank: the systematic dismantling of Palestinian collective life while expanding settlements and entrenching permanent Israeli control.
The world cannot stand by as Israel continues its assault on Palestinians, waiting for yet more neighborhoods to be emptied and erased before intervening, despite what we have already witnessed in Gaza and the northern West Bank. Governments and international bodies must act now to prevent these crimes and protect Palestinian civilians.

As Israel heads to the polls, the public discourse against Palestinians has become more extreme – and increasingly genocidal. How has Israel’s political shift further to the right shaped popular opinion? And what are the consequences facing Palestinians forced to live under Israeli control?

The killing and violence Israel is responsible for are escalating across the West Bank. But the Elimination Project that Israel is carrying out goes far beyond that. As our head of field research Kareem Jubran explains, it is about dismantling the conditions that allow Palestinians to exist as a people, a society and a collective in their homeland.
The Elimination Project is an ongoing process that affects every aspect of life. It involves demolishing homes, expelling communities, taking over land and water sources, destroying livelihoods and suppressing political and social organizing. Israel prevents people from getting to work, going to school or harvesting olives on their own land. Violence by soldiers and settler militias keeps millions of Palestinians in a constant state of fear, turning even simple everyday activities into potential threats to their lives and physical safety.
This is the Elimination Project: a set of mechanisms working together to push Palestinians off their land and dismantle their ability to live together as an independent society, with their own institutions, identity, rights and future. At the same time, Israel is expanding and deepening its control and Jewish presence across the West Bank.
How do all these mechanisms work together? Watch our short film about the Elimination Project that Israel is carrying out in the West Bank. Link in our bio.

Fear is not a byproduct of the violence in the West Bank: it is one of its goals.
Israel is systematically killing, injuring, imprisoning, torturing and forcibly displacing Palestinians on a massive scale. These are not isolated incidents or spontaneous attacks by extremist settlers, but part of a deliberate mechanism of control and oppression designed to intimidate the entire Palestinian population, disrupt their lives and drive them off their land. This is how the system is structured, and how it has operated for decades.
This violence is carried out by different arms of the same system: the military, police, Shin Bet (ISA), Israel’s Prison Service, and settler militias. The military bombs residential areas, demolishes homes, kills Palestinians and forcibly displaces them. In prisons, Palestinians are subjected to torture and abuse. Meanwhile, the state supports settler militias and provides them with the necessary infrastructure to operate, while soldiers protect them and sometimes participate in their attacks on Palestinians. These are not separate actors: they are part of a single mechanism, operating with institutional backing and almost complete impunity granted by the law enforcement system. Impunity is not a failure of the system. It’s how the system works.
Since October 2023, this violence has escalated dramatically. According to B’Tselem’s figures, From October 7, 2023, until September 21, 2026, Israel killed 1,116 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 245 children and teenagers The ripple effect is enormous. Any Palestinian in the West Bank who leaves home in the morning, drives along a road or works farmland is constantly calculating the risks involved.
That is the goal of the mechanism of violence and intimidation: to make life impossible for Palestinians in the West Bank, drive them off their land and dismantle the conditions for their existence as a collective. It is one of the five mechanisms Israel is employing in its Elimination Project.

Israel is strangling the Palestinian economy in the West Bank, driving it toward collapse. In doing so, it is undermining the conditions Palestinian society needs to survive and build its future. This economic strangulation is one of the key mechanisms of the Elimination Project.
For decades, Israel has worked to make the Palestinian economy in the West Bank dependent on it for jobs, tax revenues, movement and trade, land, water and infrastructure. Over the past three years, Israel has used that reliance to ramp up economic pressure as part of accelerating the Elimination Project.
Some 140,000 Palestinians have lost their jobs in Israel after their work permits were revoked. Income from work in Israel has dropped by around 88%.
Israel is also withholding billions of shekels in Palestinian tax revenues. Checkpoints are costing Palestinians more than NIS 62 million a month in lost working hours. Farmers are being driven off their land and cut off from water sources.
But this isn't just about poverty and unemployment. Families are losing their livelihoods. Farmers can't reach their land. Businesses are struggling to operate. Public services like healthcare and education are also struggling to meet people's needs.
Together, these measures are eroding the ability of an entire society to live independently, remain on its land and build a future there as a people.
