Leading scholars reveal how pro-Palestinian advocacy is being silenced across the globe


Civic space is getting smaller, across the globe. Every year, we face new threats to our ability to advocate for change, organise campaigns or protest against unjust policies. Nowhere is this crisis of civil society more acute than the Israel-Palestine conflict. Civilians in the Occupied Territories face mass surveillance, while Palestinian organisations in Israel can be shut down through repressive legal mechanisms. Meanwhile, in the West, there are increasing efforts to outlaw expressions of solidarity with Palestinians, especially the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions Movement. This edited volume gathers leading scholars to discuss how basic civic rights are suppressed in Palestine, in Israel and around the world when it comes to advocating for Palestinian rights. These mechanisms of repression are an existential threat to global civil society.
