‘I have no empathy’
Israeli media have mostly avoided reporting on Palestinian suffering during Israel's assault on Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. Social media thus became the main venue through which images of atrocities were circulated, serving as a summons to empathize with the Gazans' predicament. These calls were often rebuffed by empathy-blocking statements. In this study, we interrogate the discursive roles played by empathy-blocking act…
Polarization, Social Responsibility Journalism, and Collective Memory Discourse
Recent studies have explored how social responsibility journalism can serve as an antidote to polarization. This study builds upon mediatized collective memory scholarship to examine how social responsibility journalism can seize upon memorial days as opportunities to employ deliberative principles as guidelines for advancing social norms that counter polarization. Media discourse on Tisha B’Av provides a useful case study, as it is a national me…
“Paddy pointed his pseudo-liberal finger at us”
This study engages in multimodal semiotic analysis of six citizen-produced public diplomacy films, from a corpus of 56 films, created in wake of the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack on Southwestern Israel, following the perceived failure of official public diplomacy efforts. Utilizing multimodal semiotic analysis, this study illustrates how such films employ the richness of multimodal communicative acts, that is textual speech acts combined wit…
The personal is the (quasi-) political
This study explores how digital humor functions as a form of critique in contexts where overt dissent is constrained. Focusing on memes shared by members of a Facebook support group for Israeli reservist soldiers’ wives during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the study analyzes how humor helps negotiate personal and collective tensions. Using thematic and critical discourse analysis, we identify four spheres of critique—targeting spouses, social circle…
Stuck between group and transgression
This study examines how politicians navigate the challenge of publicly condemning transgressions committed by members of their in-group. Examining ten transgressions committed by Israeli political actors which attracted public attention, the study engages in a discourse analysis of politicians’ posts, illustrating eight discursive strategies for coping with this challenge. It utilizes Du Bois’ stance triangle to illustrate how politicians navigat…
Practicing deliberation in challenging speech cultures
This qualitative research draws on language and social interaction (LSI) approaches to consider how speech culture shapes the practice of deliberation in a country presumed to be a challenging environment for deliberative practices: Israel. Our analysis examines structured deliberative forums conducted by communication students in Israel, to demonstrate how participants reference, use, and orient to both deliberative democracy discourse and Israe…
Polarization and Consensus-Building in Israel
The "Balfour Gang" versus "the Saladin Gang
The dialectics of the securitization and desecuritization of African asylum seekers discourse in Israel
This study engages in an analysis of the media discourse regarding African asylum seekers in Israel, examining how populist and elite Hebrew language news websites utilize securitized and desecuritized discourses to depict asylum seekers in both a period of perceived acute threat (2011–2012) and a period in which the perceived threat has dissipated (2018–2019). Utilizing a Dialectic Discourse Analysis approach, this study aims to disclose how sim…
Accounting for Culture in Deliberation through Meta-discursive Analysis
This study suggests a meta-discursive approach for analysing citizens’ perceptions of public discourse in their society, as a basis for adapting deliberative theory to the particularities of varying contexts. Utilising qualitative meta-discursive analysis of open-ended responses collected from Israeli communication students (N = 204), we examine Israelis’ descriptions of existing public debate and their perceptions of the desired nature of public…
The Media Framing of Blame Agency in Asymmetric Conflict
Utilizing the 2014 Israeli-Palestinian failed peace negotiations, this study examines the relationship between blame agency, the national identity of a newspaper, and the type of newspaper. To do so, we collected all news and opinion pieces from six newspapers representing broadsheet and tabloid newspapers from Israel, Palestine, and the United States one week before the official failure of the negotiations and three weeks following this date (N …
To thine own self be true
Being perceived as consistent is a crucial concern for political actors' in their efforts to mobilize public opinion. This study comprises an analysis of the self-reflexive performance of consistency by Israeli politicians, focusing on the definitions and types of 'consistency' in political talk and their consequences. Through an analysis of 194 meta-discursive statements between 2006 and 2017, we illustrate that consistency constitutes a spatiot…
The ‘blame game frame
To understand the relationship between ethical basis of blame, framing and its impact on future negotiations in protracted conflicts, we examined the blame occurrences (n = 721) in written press coverage of the 2014 Israeli–Palestinian and the 2016 Syrian Civil War mediation efforts. Through quantitative and qualitative analyses, our study found that episodic framing is exclusively utilized when presenting action-based blame, which explicitly cas…
Israeli Discourse and the West Bank
How can irregular political situations, which impact the lives of millions, become normalized? Specifically, within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, how can 50 years of Israeli control over the Occupied Territories become accepted within Israeli society as a normal, possibly even banal phenomenon? Conversely, how can such a situation be estranged from daily reality, denied any relation to who "we" are? This volume explores these q…
Evasion strategies in international documents
While numerous studies have examined evasion strategies in political discourse, the use of such strategies in internationally authored conflict resolution documents has yet to be examined. The demands of addressing different audiences are most evident in such documents, as the central audiences – the two conflicting parties – have conflicting demands. Through a discourse analysis of four central conflict resolution documents in the Arab–Israeli c…
The politics of fear
Ruth Wodak’s The politics of fear: What right wing populist discourses mean represents the first comprehensive analysis of the rise of European populist right wing political discourse. This volume
Recognition gaps in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
This study identifies gaps in official discourse between recognition of the other as a nation and recognition of the other’s right to statehood within identity conflicts. Using as a case study the discourse of Israeli political leaders during three distinct periods from 1967 until the present, the study proposes analytical tools based on recognition theory to examine how the relationship between recognition of the other and constitution of the se…
Politically speaking at home and abroad
During times of international negotiation, political leaders often play a ‘two-level game’, reflected in disparate message designs aimed at satisfying differing audience expectations. The existence of a two-level game in a globalized media environment results in leaders facing an avoidance dilemma, as presenting distinctly different messages could threaten both credibility and maneuverability. Thus, political leaders employ a series of discursive…
