When Israel initiated plans to evict #Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem to make way for illegal settlers, millions of young people around the world got involved in a high-profile social media campaign to raise awareness.

Using the hashtag #SaveSheikhJarrah, more than 40 million people joined in, forming part of a wave of online organising that set the stage for a new era of pro-Palestine digital activism.

That trend continued as #Israel launched its ongoing genocide in #Gaza in October 2023 with activists dedicating their Instagram feeds and TikTok reels to spreading awareness of #Israeli atrocities.
