Abstract

This paper examines the role of social media activism in supporting Palestine within Indonesia, focusing on how Indonesian netizens engage with global solidarity movements for Palestine. By analyzing popular social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, the study investigates the strategies used by Indonesian youth to mobilize online support for Palestine, including hashtags like #SavePalestine and #FreePalestine. It explores how social media serves as a tool for spreading information, organizing protests, and generating political discourse in Indonesia. Through a case study of key Indonesian social media accounts, posts, and online movements, this paper identifies how digital activism fosters a sense of global citizenship and solidarity among Indonesians. It also analyzes the challenges of online activism, including misinformation, digital censorship, and the complexities of translating local political ideologies into a global discourse. The study highlights the significance of social media in shaping Indonesia’s broader public opinion on Palestine, underscoring its impact on political consciousness among youth and its potential in shaping the nation's political and social landscape.
