After a deadly Israeli air strike on Rafah, an AI-generated image circulating on Instagram aimed to generate global solidarity for Palestinians in Gaza.

The AI image and its slogan have become a unifying cry for action, echoed by celebrities, athletes and advocacy organisations, leading to discussions on how to help the people of Gaza. On The Stream, we will delve into why the AI image went viral and the value of this type of social media activism.
