This presentation examines pro-Palestine mobilizations in Turkey in the post–October 7 period. It analyzes the factors behind the fragmentation of these mobilizations and the unequal forms of legitimacy they are able to generate in the public sphere. It classifies the types of demands and discursive frames articulated in social protests and investigates whether activists face legal charges for the methods they use and the demands they raise.

The presentation focuses on a youth group that partially overcomes ideological polarization within pro-Palestine activism. Using a mixed-method approach, it analyzes a youth group formed after October 7 in solidarity with Palestine and examines its discourse by mapping thematic patterns in posts and studying protest events, slogans, video footage, and speeches.
The study is based on an original dataset of social media posts and 127 protest events, documenting their motives, timing, locations, and forms of mobilization, as well as fieldwork notes from demonstrations and ongoing court cases. It contributes to the growing literature on the transnational Palestine solidarity movement and the obstacles it faces in the Turkish national context.
