Analysis based on extensive study of mainstream media coverage of the first three weeks of Gaza’s 2023 war on Gaza. Tweissi identifies new modes of media framing that redefine notions of terrorism, means of dehumanizing Palestinians, new language around self defense (which entails the use of sanitized language to talk around war crimes committed against Palestinians), and decontextualization. This source is valuable for research on media bias, dehumanization of Palestinians, narrative framing, and media coverage of the Gaza genocide.
