Digital Activism and Palestinian Voices, the Role of Social Media in Shaping Global Perceptions and Media Narratives

Abstract

Digital activism has become an essential tool for Palestinians in documenting their realities, challenging mainstream media narratives, and mobilizing global solidarity. This research explores the role of social media in shaping perceptions of the Palestinian struggle, focusing on recent developments from 2023 to 2025. It examines how social media platforms serve as spaces for advocacy while also operating as battlegrounds for censorship, misinformation, and algorithmic suppression. Through an analysis of case studies, social media trends, and political responses, this paper highlights the impact of Palestinian digital activism on global discourse and policy-making.
