The article examines the digital narratives of solidarity and resistance that emerged on YouTube around the Global Sumud Flotilla, a transnational initiative challenging the structural, cultural, and direct violences that hinder humanitarian aid delivery in the Gaza Strip. From a critical feminist perspective, the analysis explores how digital narratives can reawaken fundamental ethical and political questions, highlighting inequalities and reconfiguring the sense of justice and dignity. Using digital methods, cultural analytics, and netnography, the study unpacks forms of symbolic resistance and explores the role of emotions in the production of political meaning. The research underscores the capacity of counter-narratives to challenge hegemonic discourses that reproduce violence, and instead, promote transnational communication for peace, emphasizing the importance of digital platforms as arenas of political contention.
