Abstract
This paper studies the wording of the Israeli informative speech and
discourse via the contents and features of this speech over a particular
interval; the weeks that witnessed what, in the Israeli context, is called
the Defensive/Deterrent Enclosure Operation that started on 29th
March 2002 and ended on 2nd of May 2002.
The study explores the intellectual and historical backgrounds that led
to the development of an Israeli journalistic language that aims to
criminalize the Palestinian and nullify the legitimacy of the Palestinian
and his statements. This was manifested explicitly during the
Defensive/Deterrent Enclosure Operation where the Israeli mass
media played a very significant and vital role especially newspapers;
which in spite of conveying to private properties, the newspapers
always adopt and propagate the official version of the Israeli
government without arguing, objecting, criticizing or modifying it.
These newspapers justified the vicious attacks, aggression, starvation
and besieging actions against the Palestinian people. The journalistic
coverage of this massive military operation, which was the first and
biggest of its kind since 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza Strip,
exploited a special wording that appeared and reinforced during the
conflicts and aggravating tension. It is mainly characterized by being a
language that purposes to justify, vindicate and persuade; thus, this
language used to cover this operation was rife with lies, distortion,
degradation, indignities and faults not only at the level a word, but
also in the method of narrating the news, the headlines, the way of
describing the Palestinian individual and how the reporters/media
personnel are acquainted and understand the Palestinian.
The study identifies and differentiates between three levels of
wordings used in the Israeli journalistic coverage during the
Defensive/Deterrent Enclosure: first, the Pragmatic Level which is used by politicians; it is changeable upon the circumstance. The
flagrant Ideological level which refuses entirely to recognize the
Palestinian. The third level is the one that the Israelis prefer and use to
focus on their suffering and tragedies so as to protect and maintain the
pure Hebrew nation and morals. The study approves many defects and
flaws in the formation and drafting of the Israeli news and the
techniques applied as well as intentional mistakes in narrating the
event and deliberate intention to mode the Palestinian so to overlook
and disregard him and eventually to dispossess him from the right to
express and talk.
Moreover, the study tackles the history of the written Israeli
Journalism in addition to its role and influence, although it has become
a private property, on the various political and economic life aspects in
Israel.
