“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
📝 REMINDER: Keep resharing content from journalists who have been murdered, injured, kidnapped or evacuated out of Palestine.

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
