A single image, not even an authentic photograph, is the focus of a singular campaign on Instagram.
FILE - A student holds a placard as she chants slogans during a protest inside the American University of Beirut to show support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
According to Noura Erakat, a Palestinian-American activist, this reaction is a gut response to what she calls the failure of an international system to do its work. “Standing at attention and ready is also ensuring we are watching closely, scrutinizing with care and so that" — as she puts it — “Israeli atrocities are not given a pass.”There have been multiple social media trends and campaigns during the Israel-Hamas war. People use their platforms to be a part of such trends for varied reasons.
The ultimate goal: to influence those who can make change happen, whether they be presidents or prime ministers or people who hold influence and away. Any of those, Navarra says, can have a significant impact.Months ago, Israel months identified Rafah as Hamas’ last major stronghold and vowed to invade, despite the presence of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians who had sought shelter there.
Celebrities from around the world have posted it on their Instagram accounts — including such Indian luminaries as Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Other celebrities include American supermodel Bella Hadid and Nicola Coughlan from the Netflix show ‘Bridgerton’, American comedian Hasan Minhaj and British singer Dua Lipa.
