Visual Violence as a Tool of Humiliation and Domination over Palestinian Youth
April 20, 2026, 7amleh - The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media has released a new position paper titled “From Image to Body: Visual Violence as a Tool of Humiliation and Domination over Palestinian Youth.” The paper highlights the rise of visual violence practiced by the Israeli occupation army through documenting violations and abuses against Palestinians and publishing them on social media platforms, transforming them into public spectacles of humiliation, mockery, and domination. It shows that these practices have particularly targeted Palestinian youth across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, as the most visible group in digital spaces and the most exposed to arrest, searches, and visual surveillance under occupation.
