Discourses of War, Media and Politics in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Discourses of War, Media and Politics in the IsraeliâPalestinian Conflict examines how language, media, and political narratives shape understandings of one of the worldâs most contested conflicts.
Moving beyond military and diplomatic analyses, this book explores the IsraeliâPalestinian conflict as a struggle over meaning, legitimacy, and historical interpretation. Through interdisciplinary approaches to discourse analysis, the contributors investigate how terms such as âoccupation,â âterrorism,â âresistance,â âsecurity,â and âgenocideâ have been contested, reframed, and politicised across different historical moments. The volume demonstrates how discourse does not simply describe political realities, but actively constructs them by shaping public perceptions, moral evaluations, and the boundaries of political possibility. Bringing together established and emerging scholars from around the world, the book provides critical analyses of the narratives, media representations, and ideological frameworks that continue to influence debates surrounding violence, justice, and human rights in Israel/Palestine.
This book will appeal to scholars and students of media studies, political communication, discourse analysis, Middle East politics, and conflict studies, as well as readers interested in the relationship between language, power, and representation in contemporary global conflicts.
