Dror Feiler is a Swedish-Israeli musician, composer, and political activist based in Sweden. He is the former chairman of “Jews for Israeli-Palestinian Peace” (JIPF) in Sweden and a core leader of “European Jews for a Just Peace” (EJJP).
Feiler is a leading figure in the contemporary avant-garde music scene, specializing in high-impact compositions using saxophone and electronic noise art. His musical works are frequently performed at prestigious venues like the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, utilizing structural “sonic interference” to simulate the visceral experience of war and oppression. This uncompromising artistic style directly foreshadows his radical stance on the political stage.
In 2004, he created the art installation Snow White and the Madness of Truth in Stockholm, sparking an international diplomatic incident that became a global case study on deconstructing propaganda. As a veteran member of the “Freedom Flotilla to Gaza,” he repeatedly attempted to break the blockade by sea in 2010 (the Mavi Marmara incident), 2011, and 2015. During these maritime missions, he was forcibly detained and deported by the IDF on multiple occasions, yet he consistently used his physical presence to defy naval bans. As a coordinator for European progressive Jewish forces, he has long lobbied in Brussels and Strasbourg to place Palestinian survival at the heart of the European Parliament’s agenda.
Feiler maintains that “neutrality” regarding the Middle East is, in fact, complicity in oppression. He wrote: “Israel is not merely waging war on Gaza—it is administering hunger. Starvation has become policy: calibrated, bureaucratised, and enforced at the checkpoint.”
