7amleh Releases New Position Paper: “The War on Gaza: How Social Media Constructed Narratives and Solidarity among Gazans”, 9 Jul 2025. “The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media has released a new position paper titled “The War on Gaza: How Social Media Constructed Narratives and Solidarity among Gazans,” which sheds light on the discursive and social transformations in the use of social media platforms by Palestinians in Gaza since the outbreak of the genocidal war in October 2023. Published amid a heavily restricted and underdeveloped digital environment, the paper contextualizes these shifts within the near-total collapse of Gaza’s digital infrastructure. In the early weeks of the war, 50% of Gaza’s communications network was completely destroyed, while an additional 25% sustained partial damage. According to estimates from Paltel, the overall network outage reached approximately 80%.”
