This book examines the portrayal of the Palestinian-Israeli
‘conflict’ by looking at the language used in its reporting and
how this can, in turn, influence public opinion. The book explores how
language use helps frame an event to elicit a particular
interpretation from the reader and how this can be manipulated to
introduce bias. Sirhan begins the book by examining the history of the
‘conflict’, and the many persistent myths that surround it. She
analyses how five events in the ‘conflict’ (two in which the
Palestinians are victims, two in which the Israelis are victims, and
Operation Cast Lead) are reported in five British newspapers: The
Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, and
The Times. By looking at these events across a range of newspapers,
the book investigates differences in the way that the media report
each side, before exploring what factors motivate these differences
– including issues of bias, censorship, lobbying, and propaganda.
