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.

These mechanisms of repression are an existential threat to global civil society.
