The Critique of the media frames used in the Arab-Israeli conflict

Abstract

Since the establishment of the state of Israel, it can be seen that there have been a strong disagreement between Israelis and Palestinians. The image of this conflict has been focused not only by Arab states, including especially Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, but also by Europe and entire America, especially by the United States. The issues of the Middle East have been among the main concerns of most international media coverage. People would watch too many news on televisions which were created some common portraits about both Israelis and Palestinians. Two of those news, titled as ?Israel takes steps to stop Hamas shelling? and ?Closed crossings pushing Gaza into disaster, says UN?, are so significant to realize that how each party was portrayed by other media coverage or portrayed themselves in that disaccord. These two articles can be hold in two main frames which are law and order frame and injustice and defiance frame
