Spiral of silence: Palestinian NGO in Israel launches video campaign on self censorship

The campaign, entitled "Remove the sticker and help others remove theirs", centers on the adoption of repression after an individual faces a process of repression in the home, school and public space.

The idea of the campaign stems from a desire to clarify that when somebody is brought up on concepts and values which are subject to social or political templates, these can limit their ability to express their opinions freely.

With time, the person starts to place limits on their own freedom of expression, taking into account all the limitations that may be encountered and thus adopting the oppression and repression themselves – like a sticker that muzzles the mouth and limits freedom of expression.
