[47146] Turkish online campaign under the title 'Palestine Is Being Stolen' in the shadow of the war in Gaza

Extensive online protest regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza

During May 2, 2026, a wave of posts emerged on the social network X (formerly Twitter) under the hashtag #PalestineIsBeingStolen, expressing sharp criticism of Israel regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip. The users, with a distinct pro-Palestinian orientation, presented content highlighting human suffering and called for action.

aysegul_gul_gul_ claimed in a post that "a force that does not spare children is not worthy of any mercy on earth," and called on the public to "see Gaza." At the same time, Zeynep_Eylul34 posted messages with a religious and extreme anti-Israeli tone, using harsh expressions against the Jewish people and demanding the cessation of military activity.

Another aspect of the protest focused on documenting the state of starvation in the Strip. hulyamarie03 shared a link to her message and claimed that a 6-year-old boy named Muhammad is "starving to death" as part of what she termed an "incessant genocide."

On the organizational level, an attempt to mobilize humanitarian resources was evident. aslihantksy published an appeal on behalf of the 'Vuslat' association (Vuslat Derneği), offering the public to transfer donations and aid to needy families in Gaza ahead of the holiday, while noting the prices of aid portions.

Finally, baymertt90 distributed inciting content in this message, expressing an extreme position against the Jewish and Israeli public while comparing the international treatment of Muslim casualties to that of Israelis. All the publications collected reflect a narrative of one-sided support for the residents of Gaza and sharp opposition to Israel's policy.
