“GAZA IS DYING. AWARENESS IS RESISTANCE.” -@sbeih.jpg

Amplifying Palestinian voices is crucial when our mainstream media and platforms, such as Meta, are censoring their stories and vilifying their truth. israeli occupation forces are murdering Palestinian journalists at alarming rates. Our collective voices function as an extension of their voices on the ground, connecting our communities to resist zionist and white supremacist media from manufacturing consent for genocide.

Link to all the journalists murdered, injured or arrested by israeli occupation forces in Gaza since October 7th.

May they Rest in Power and Peace.

💡 TIP: Download Telegram on your laptop or phone and follow as many of these accounts as possible. That way, when social media accounts are deactivated for whatever reason, you can still keep updated via Telegram.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: When reposting, make sure you are actually reposting the original creator’s content and not your own screen recording. A screen recording will be flagged as copyright infringement by Meta, and the original creator’s account will be disabled. Please do not do this, as you will accidentally censor a Palestinian on the ground reporting directly to us.

💡 TIP: Join broadcast channels on Instagram for any journalist you follow, you will get any immediate updates from them in your DMs. This is especially helpful when your newsfeed is clogged.

💡 TIP: Practise targeted flooding of comment sections and cross-platform boosting of social media posts.1

  • Shadowbanning

    • is a form of censorship where content will be blocked and limited to followers. However, the user will not be made aware.

  • Be consistent – post daily

  • Customise the content reshared – add your own thoughts, emojis, etc.

  • Screenshot photos and screen record videos

  • Try to share different kinds of content – (5 Categories of Content)^53

    • Proof – videos from Palestinians on the ground of what is happening
    • Education – education based posts explaining the history, context, current events, etc.
    • Analysis– views and analysis on what is happening (prioritise Palestinian voices)
    • Updates – usually statistics based and posted by news outlets
    • Solidarity – posts such as art, poems, etc. that show solidarity with the Palestinian people

  • Engagement is key. Engage with content other people post about Palestine (i.e. reply to their stories, like, comment, reshare, message, etc.)

  • Don’t use too many hashtags

  • Break up the algorithm with unrelated content

  • Don’t let the lack of engagement on your page be your focus – concentrate on the collective effort, keep posting
