Palestinian Narrative: Censorship and Creativity in Time of Crisis

2021-06-08

Join us next Tuesday in the “Palestinian Narrative: Censorship and Creativity in Time of Crisis” webinar

7amleh – the Arab Centre for Social Media Advancement, invites you to attend our webinar “Palestinian Narrative: Censorship and Creativity in Time of Crisis” which will focus on how the Palestinian narrative has evolved over the past month during this time of conflict both online and offline.


Over the past few weeks, Palestinian activists have taken to the streets and social media to protest Israeli attacks on Palestinians both online and offline. During this time, a campaign of censorship from the Israeli government on social media platforms has been implemented, with hundreds of posts and accounts being taken down without clear explanations or violations. As a result, Palestinians have found new and innovative ways to share information and content across social media, in order to avoid possible censorship.

The webinar will focus on successful aspects of digital activism in recent weeks, and analyze how governments and social media companies have worked to censor this creative resistance; in particular, the impact of Israel and technology companies on Palestinian freedom of expression and the role of digital activists and influencers during this period.

To discuss these issues and more, join us on Tuesday, June 15th at 7:00 PM Palestine time with

Nadim Nashif, Executive Director of 7amleh

Sonya Meyerson-Knox - Jewish Voice for Peace

Sijal Nasralla - MPower Change
