Why it matters:
International Quds Day is a global event dedicated to supporting Palestine, condemning Israeli genocide, and resisting colonialism. This year, amid the ongoing war in Gaza, the event serves as a critical moment to amplify voices advocating for Palestinian self-determination.
The big picture:
With the world’s attention on Gaza following months of Israeli bombardment, activists are mobilizing through protests, online advocacy, and diplomatic efforts to challenge dominant narratives and demand justice for Palestinians.
What she’s saying:
In an exclusive interview with Iran Press, Constable highlighted the importance of raising awareness, especially through digital activism. She said: "Every action, big or small, amplifies the call for justice in Gaza. I can’t selectively choose my humanity; we must stand for all oppressed people.”
She also stressed the power of individual actions: "Even a simple act, like liking or sharing a post on social media, helps boost awareness. Attending marches, having conversations, and challenging the narrative we’ve been taught all contribute to the movement.”
Key Points:
- Social media is a powerful tool for Palestinian advocacy.
- Challenging misinformation is essential in shaping public perception.
- Palestinians have been misrepresented in mainstream media.
- The return of Palestinian land is inevitable.
Go Deeper:
As global support for Palestinian rights intensifies, activists urge people to use every available platform—online and offline—to counter disinformation and demand justice. Constable’s message underscores a growing movement that believes liberation is not a matter of “if,” but “when.”
