For too long the voices of Palestinians living under settler occupation have been silenced, minimised and ignored on the public stage. In this recent spate of escalating violence in the region, more attention has been paid to the ruthlessness of the Netanyahu regime on social media worldwide.

However, the narrative seems to be changing, partially due to the democratisation of information on social media and partially due to shifting public opinion in the US.
