Israel, protest, Gaza Massacre, Global Civil ActionAbstract
This paper discusses the global civilian response to the Israeli massacre in Gaza since October 2023. The massacre began when Hamas carried out an attack on October 07 that was retaliated with indiscriminate attacks by the Israeli regime. Israel carried out massacres not only through military strikes but also by blockading Gaza by stopping the entry of food, water, electricity, and internet aid in Gaza. This has increased the number of deaths in Gaza and people suffering acutely. The international community responded to this Israeli attack through condemnation, criticism, and calls to stop this massacre. This study will focus on the efforts of the global civil community in responding to the Israeli massacre in Gaza by trying to map the spread of actions and strategies carried out by these communities. This study uses a qualitative method approach by collecting data through online media to assess the actions and movement patterns of the global community's efforts to respond to the Gaza issue and the Israeli massacre.
