Abstract

This research article states an approach to the phenomenon of civil resistance against occupied Palestinian territories and the effects of non-violent support that is provided from sectors of global civil society. The civil resistance has a subordinated role mainly to armed fighting in the history of national Palestinian movement. However, this armed fighting has lately changed where non-violent fight prevails as a strategy of resistance. In this context, international citizenship interventions support those Palestinian movements that put into practice this resistance through the increase of their protection that helps their empowerment. Moreover, international interventions increase the peace culture and challenge the existing militarism that prevails at Israeli and Palestinian society.
