Palestinian and Saharawi resistance to Israeli and Moroccan military occupation and colonization has taken creative forms, inevitably engaging internationally, while Palestinians and Sahrawis endeavor to disseminate their own narratives. For instance, alternative media and social networks are added to the means used to break both physical and informational siege, against editorial limitations or political alliances that dictate how news stories are framed or silenced and how struggles are legitimized or vilified, either they use violent tactics or not. This paper tackles Palestinian and Saharawi resistance as a dispute and expansion of spaces of international solidarity, and to address them it brings recent experiences. Such expansion happens especially through alternative means of communication, but also through growing political and academic engagement from various levels and disciplines, especially but not only from general social sciences, International Relations (IR) and International Law (IL). Moreover, state and international civil society actors get involved not only due to ethical concerns with human rights violations but also as a direct engagement in struggles for liberation. Hence, spaces in which Palestinian, Saharawi and international activists promote resistance are addressed here as an ongoing dispute for the international arena, drawing contributions from IR and IL.

Por ejemplo, se agregan medios alternativos y redes sociales a los medios utilizados para romper el bloqueo físico e informativo, superando las limitaciones editoriales o alianzas políticas que dictan cómo se presentan o silencian las noticias y cómo se legitiman o vilipendian las luchas, sean las que utilizan tácticas violentas o no. Este texto aborda los "terrenos de resistencia" palestinos y saharauis y sus disputas por la expansión de espacios de solidaridad internacional, trayendo experiencias específicas. Dicha expansión ocurre especialmente a través de medios alternativos de comunicación, pero alcanza también un creciente compromiso político y académico desde varios niveles y disciplinas, especialmente, pero no apenas, de las ciencias sociales en general, las Relaciones Internacionales y el Derecho Internacional. Además, actores estatales y de la sociedad civil internacionales se involucran no solo debido a preocupaciones éticas con violaciones de los derechos humanos sino también como un compromiso real con las luchas por liberación. Por lo tanto, los espacios en los que activistas palestinos, saharauis e internacionales promueven la resistencia se tratan aquí como espacios disputados en la arena internacional, con un análisis desde las RRII y el DI.

Mass media mediate different publics, thus being crucial in constructing political reality. By selecting which topics are covered (agenda), which voices are heard, or how social and political issues/actors/dynamics are represented (priming and framing), mass media impacts how political conversations and processes unfold. Acknowledging the increasing mediatisation of politics, this article zooms into media texts of the Portuguese media during a complex political period that included national elections to explore how populism as a term, label, or topic was used and/or co-opted to create and negotiate political EU representations. Building on a historical perspective and using critical thematic analysis, this article argues that populism was used in the media and by the media as a discursive mechanism of political positionality and/or delegitimisation or criticism of political actors, agendas, or moves, thus making populism and the EU co-constitutively used as embodying political antipodes and making the EU work as a discursive buffer concerning populism in the country.
