On May 15, activists all around the world participated in a campaign, organized by “Palestine Online, VPalestine, Palestine Defense Forces and Palestine SunBird” and other social media pro Palestine groups, marking the 72nd anniversary of Nakba to reaffirm that they uphold their right of return, as per UN Resolution 194.Meanwhile, Israeli cyber groups’ attacks swept social media, reiterating the Israeli mindset of repression.On the 72n anniversary of Nakba, Palestinians around the world, following the WHO orders, couldn’t organize peaceful protests amid the Covid19 outbreak.The four social media groups launched a large-scale campaign inviting people to tweet using the two hashtags #NakbaDay and #KeyToJustice so that they can join the Palestinian long-standing struggle for freedom and to reiterate the right of return to the Palestinian homeland that they were expelled from in 1948.The two hashtags went viral. A lot of Pro Palestine activists, politicians and Journalists follow the campaign requests and post on social media supporting the Palestinian right of return in addition to Palestinians who tweeted sharing their support to the Palestinian cause.Yet, the virtual sit-in was encountered by hate speech from Israeli propagandists. some anti-Palestinian accounts invited people to tweet with the hashtag #KeyToPeace, claiming that the Palestinians are the obstacle to peace and covering up war crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces and the killing of more than 320 Palestinians in Great Return March protests when the Palestinian people peacefully protested in weekly marches to demand their right of return – the right enshrined in the international law and guaranteed by UN Resolution 194 which was adopted by a majority of 35 out of 58 members.Not only did Israeli and anti-Palestinian propagandists generate #KeyToPeace hashtag in a counter-campaign to pro-Palestine hashtag #KeyToJustice that has gone viral, but also they posted provocative and dehumanizing content with the hashtag #NakbaDay to whitewash the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
