Reporting the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Abstract: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as one of the most controversial issues in the contemporary era, is an interesting area to study and analyse different views from varied backgrounds. It is quite common to see the variety of discourses produced when that Palestinian-Israeli conflict occurs. This study analyses two news reports from two different news agencies that have the same topic, which is ?the last war against Gaza in 2014?. The two reports were compared and critically analysed according to Huckin?s analytical approach (1997), which deals with texts from a critical perspective. The results of the analysis were discussed against some principles of critical discourse analysis (CDA), while a number of ?out of sight? values, ideologies, and perspectives were revealed through analysing those textual features.
