Abstract

Israel's occupation has been transformed in the social media age. Over the last decade, military rule in the Palestinian territories grew more bloody and entrenched. In the same period, Israelis became some of the world's most active social media users. In Israel today, violent politics are interwoven with global networking practices, protocols, and aesthetics. Israeli soldiers carry smartphones into the field of military operations, sharing mobile uploads in real-time. Official Israeli military spokesmen announce wars on Twitter. And civilians encounter state violence first on their newsfeeds and mobile screens. Across the globe, the ordinary tools of social networking have become indispensable instruments of warfare and violent conflict. This book traces the rise of Israeli digital militarism in this global context—both the reach of social media into Israeli military theaters and the occupation's impact on everyday Israeli social media culture. Today, social media functions as a crucial theater in which the Israeli military occupation is supported and sustained.

Abstract

This monograph provides a much-needed history of the Arab print media as well as an in-depth study of translated Arab media sources, remedying a remarkable gap in Western intellectual culture. Setting the scene, the manuscript begins with a brief historical narrative of Arab newspapers from the 1940s to the mid-1970s, when a free press virtually disappeared. William Haddad then explores the historiography of the Arab print media, compiling a valuable collection of available scholarship on the subject. The book simultaneously considers the contemporary ongoing problem of censorship in Middle East journalism. With this valuable context, Haddad then sets about examining the Arab print media's view of the Arab-Israeli conflict in its first three decades. By giving voice to the Arab political journalists who wrote editorials and opinion pieces, the bulk of the book explores the variety of opinions held in the Arab print media regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict

Abstract

Le conflit israélo-palestinien a, de longue date, préoccupé les médias et fait l’objet d’une exportation symbolique en mots et en images. Ces médias ont été pris à par­tie, jugés et critiqués de toute part. Les passions n’ont jamais été aussi vives que depuis 10 ans, après l’échec du processus d’Oslo et l’explosion de la seconde Intifada. Pourquoi le conflit international le plus couvert est-il aussi celui qui suscite les plus grandes insatisfactions? À rebours des critiques qui s’en prennent d’abord à des médiateurs toujours jugés partisans – proisraéliens ou propalestiniens –, cette analyse part des usagers et de leurs rapports avec les médias. Dans ces nations fragilisées, publics «identitaires» (juifs, arabes, musulmans) et publics militants se passionnent pour les images d’un conflit qui leur parle moins du Proche-Orient que d’eux-mêmes et de leur place dans la société. L’approche de l’auteur permet de renouveler la critique des médias qu’il faut envisager non seulement comme informateurs, mais aussi comme vecteurs d’identité face à des publics incertains et instables. Au-delà de l’étude de cas, cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur un monde médiatique transformé. Historiens, journalistes, chercheurs y trouveront matière à un renouvellement de leur regard sur les médias et sur le conflit israélo-palestinien.
