| External Communication in Social Media During Asymmetric Conflicts | Media Bias | -external communication on the Israeli channels is dominated by branding, while the external communication on the channels of the Palestinian side is consistently dominated by shaming. -Only during some short and particularly intense stages of the conflict, the Israeli external communication was dominated by shaming as well. The variation of the strategies of external communication across platforms and amongst the different branches of the same conflict party, in contrast, is comparatively small. The observed results contradict the theoretical expectations of established theories from the research on blaming, which would expect a negativitybias, and marketing research, which would expect a predominance of positive communication. | LInk |

| Unpacking the global campaign to delegitimizeIsrael: drawing a line between criticism of Israel and denying its legitimacy | Types of support | - In this context, the campaign strives to imitate the main logic of the struggle against the South African apartheid regime. It aims to undermine Israel’s international legitimacy in a manner that would eventually lead to its isolation and damage its resilience. - One of the delegitimization campaign’s main achievements is the ability to brand itself as the main venue for pro-Palestinian activity. Movements such as the BDS campaign and the Apartheid Week Initiative create a direct linkage between being pro-Palestinian and opposing Israel’s basic political model. | LInk |

| Role of Media in Peace, Conflict Between Israel and Palestine Discussed by International Media Seminar | Media coverage | -The Palestinian media reflected a realistic image of what was taking place, the barricades, the destructions, the shootings, the settlers uprooting land and destroying houses and the imprisonment of thousands -the power of the media in shaping public opinion was growing day by day. Its influence could not be overemphasized. In the Middle East, a proliferation of region-wide broadcasters had dramatically changed the information landscape. -The way that the Palestinians’ agony was ignored by the Israeli press was criminal land served to target the dehumanization of the Palestinians -the responsibility of the Israeli media was so big and why the way that the media had betrayed this responsibility was so crucial to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. -The Palestinian media was presenting the struggle and how it could shape the realities on the ground and how it could lead to a constructive process. The Palestinian media needed more than anything to be able to drive the struggle for the restoration of Palestinian freedom. The Palestinian media was endeavouring to do all it could to reflect a democratic role but there were efforts being made to uproot it -As for the issue of separating hate talk and accuracy, it was not the job of the media to promote peace, it was their job to monitor the work of the politicians, and it was up to the politicians to promote peace - | LInk |

| Peace Journalism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the German press and the German public | Response from media coverage | -Particularly in Germany, the way people position themselves toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is quite ambivalent, however. The World War II lesson of “never again fascism, never again war” implies a tendency to adopt the Peace Frame (never again war). -From this point on, the participants’ positions switch to the Palestinian side: The (mainly) naive pacifists interpret the conflict according to a pro-Palestinian peace frame on the edge of a war frame, and the participants who are most concerned about the conflict and – at the same time – do not fear that Palestinian violence is an obstacle to the establishment of a Palestinian state interpret the conflict according to a pro-Palestinian war frame. | LInk |
| Public Discourse and Perceptions: Palestinian Media Coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict | Media coverage | -The Palestinian media comprises print and audio-visual outlets and an official news agency, WAFA. The press includes three daily newspapers: Al-Quds was established in 1951, Al-Ayyam and Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah were both founded in 1995. Al-Quds and Al-Ayyam are independent and private newspapers while Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah is partially subsidized by the Palestinian Authority (PA). All of these journals have websites, and provide electronic access to their archives for free. -They focus coverage on the Israeli occupation army practices in the occupied territories and the Palestinian people’s suffering. Furthermore, the Palestinian media advocate the two-state solution based on the UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and the principle of land for peace. However, the Palestinian media do not present the Israeli narrative nor the human suffering of the other. -The coverage of the Israeli unilateral ‘disengagement’ plan reflects hopes, wishes, and desires in the Palestinian newspaper editorials rather than real facts and news about the debate inside the Israeli polity. As the following examples show, the headlines in the newspapers predicted a civil war between Israelis if their government were to proceed with its Gaza ‘disengagement’ plan. | LInk |
| Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land U.S. Media & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflic | Media coverage | -The West Bank and the Gaza strip are under a military occupation. It's the longest military occupation in modern history. It's entering its 35th year. It's a harsh and brutal military occupation. -There's no economy, the unemployment is over 60% now. Crops can't move. Thousands and thousands of acres of orchards and low-line crops have been bulldozed and uprooted by the Israeli military. There are checkpoints everywhere, Palestinians can't get from one place to another, drives that would ordinarily take ten minutes now take four hours. -Public Relations works not only by controlling the content of media reports,but also by making sure that some voices are never heard. The marginalization of the Israeli Peace Movement in the American media is an example of how this works. | LInk |
