1000 Youth for Palestine showed a boldness and a different kind of activism than the silent marches with people wearing keffiyehs around their necks which I had seen during the Mavi Marmara days in my childhood.

A pro-Palestine youth group staged a protest during the premiere of a documentary produced by Turkey’s public broadcaster about Israel’s violations in the West Bank, accusing them of “hypocrisy.”

The last of the young protesters who were arrested while demonstrating against SOCAR's continued fuel shipments to Israel have finally been released from custody by the court.

On March 31, members of the Thousand Youths for Palestine organized a protest in front of the Istanbul headquarters of the Azeri state oil giant SOCAR for its complicity in the ongoing war in Gaza. Demonstrators threw red paint on the walls and entered the building breaking down the doors.

The activists were detained after the May Day celebrations where they chanted, "Murderous Israel, collaborator Erdoğan.”

A pro-Palestinian youth group targeted the two companies making significant contributions to Israel's energy needs during an event held at Bahçeşehir University.

The 1000 Youth for Palestine movement stated in their announcement that Turkey sends 44,000 barrels of oil to Israel every day, and they demanded, "SOCAR, end trade with the occupier."
