Media Bias Research Paper

The Arab-Israeli conflict is a hotly contested issue both in the Middle East and the broader global community.1 The modern conflict is essentially a dispute over the area known up until 1948 as Palestine, which is considered holy to all three major monotheistic religions.2 The primary parties in the conflict are Israeli (formerly Zionist) Jews and Palestinian Arabs (who are predominately Muslim).3 It is one of the unresolved problems bequeathed to the region by the British and French imperialist powers following the division of the Ottoman Empire between them at the end of World War 1.4 There are many features of the Middle East, specifically Palestine, that account for the interest and rivalry it

The big question we ask ourselves today is, will Israel and Palestine ever agree to stop fighting? The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been traced all the way back to 1948 through 2005 in The Israel Palestine Land Settlement Problem, written by Charles Rowley and Jennis Taylor. However, this conflict did not end in 2005. This article was written in 2006, so anything within the last 10 years is not included. The conflict between the two counties still continues to this day and still remains a major problem. Israelis and Arabs have been fighting over Gaza on and off for decades now. The three issues laid out in this article are the four major wars that took place, the refugee problem, and the conflict between religions. It concludes with the road map to peace. Throughout his whole book, The Israel-Palestine Conflict, Gelvin speaks of the same historical events that occurred between Israel and Palestine, while the article reveals there are still other conflicts, the land settlement problem has been the major conflict between Israel and Palestine since 1948.

During this week I investigated many different news sources and different tactics they use. My research has shown the incredibly strong bias that the media has. To get a full grasp of the biases I had to use source diversity. My sources ranged from social media, to television, to web-based articles. Through my research, I discovered the effective and prevalent uses of loaded language, social media, sensationalism, bias in quotes, and the role of gatekeepers in media.

News casters on preservationist arranges frequently specify "the liberal media", which has made the confusion that liberal media predisposition far dominates traditionalist inclination.

In my artistic work, I decided to pursue and address an issue that stands out to me because of its lack of media representation in America during an era where media is more obtainable than ever. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is rarely reported in mainstream media in the United States. Instead, topics such as celebrity gossip dominate headlines and it’s tragic to me; the Kardashians are mentioned more in the news than West Bank or Gaza combined. The people in Palestine have no voice in America and yet America is the perpetrator of their injustice. How can we, as Americans, face our own mistakes if we aren’t even aware that we’re making them? We boast that “all men are created equal” when we tell Palestinians everyday that Israelis deserve

Media bias. When you hear the words it has a negative effect on the media. Media bias has been around since news. The words are used to discredit journalist. People find it hard to trust sites and new stations nowadays because of this. What if the media being bias has a good effect on things? To start you have to understand what the words media bias actually mean. Also how bais is the media and how it could be a good thing.

After living under Israeli occupation their whole lives, and with no prospect of political resolution on the horizon, Palestinian youth have taken to the streets this month in protest. As I sit and watch the polarizing coverage—now considered to be at near-"catastrophic" levels—from afar, disparate emotions dart around inside me like pinballs, striking chords and hitting nerves. There's the sadness, of course–the sadness that I always feel when I think about Palestine—that is now pulled to the surface and sharper than usual. Sadness that so many of today's young people are lost to a struggle that is decades old. Sadness that it feels like it may continue for decades more.

The Israeli-Palestinian issue has been an ongoing conflict since 1917. This conflict started right after the Holocaust as a huge number of Jews fled to Palestine. Later on, the Israeli forces almost occupied the whole land over the years. Currently, the Palestinians own about 11-15% of the land, while Israelis own the rest of the land (Farah 40). As of today, there are about five million Palestinian refugees in foreign camps and they are unable to return (Farah 40). Not only the Israeli forces occupied the land and forcibly evicted millions of Palestinians, they also operate a two-tiered system in the country that gives better treatment to Israelis while imposing harsh conditions on Palestinians. For example, Israeli civilians are allowed to

The ethical differences that are brought up during the Israeli-Palestine conflict are one of the leading causes of why this conflict never ends and, why Israel must take action against Palestine. In the latest conflict between these two, Israel has always taken multiple steps to make sure that civilian casualties are kept to a minimum. Some examples of Israel's efforts to limit

I was fortunate enough to personally observe what Palestinians endure while traveling neighboring cities, how Palestinians are treated at military checkpoints, and the viciousness that Israelis pursue against Palestinians. Wretchedly, Palestinians are not permitted to roam what was once their own territory freely. Movement from one part of the territory to another is constrained and subject to military checkpoints. Likewise, a ten-mile commute from one city to a neighboring city may take hours. Workers walk miles to avoid military checkpoint because of the uncertainty of passing through. What seems more afflicting is that Palestinian children are often denied access to school because of delays or closures at the checkpoint. Moreover, the delays or closures force Palestinians

On July 14, 2014, Mohammed Suliman, a Muslim living in Gaza City, tweeted, “Amir, 12, and Mohammed. 10, want to buy yogurt. Things are calm, they tell their mom. They leave the house. A blast is heard. They 're dead” (Hosford). Tragic though it is, this is not a rare phenomenon in this region. In fact, 2,314 Palestinians were killed and 17,125 injured just in 2014 alone as a result of Israel’s activities in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, according to the annual report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Because of the unfair treatment of Palestinians, the situation in Israel/Palestine is a human rights conflict.

The Middle East has been the center of attention in the world and the theater of many important events. Over the past thirty yeas, people in the Middle East have experienced all kinds of wars, hunger, devastation and brutal dictatorships. Now, after Arab Spring, some of those dictators are gone, and in countries like Tunisia and to a lesser degree Egypt, there are attempts to establish democracy. In his book, The New Middle East: The World After the Arab Spring (2013), Paul Danahar writes that the changes brought by Arab Spring will lead to greater freedom for people in the Middle East, and that even the relationship between Israel and Palestine will be impacted (especially because secular and religious Jews in Israel are debating and conducting a "quiet revolution" that, according to Danahar, might lead to a solution). Although there 's much consensus that the Middle East will be greatly impacted if the Israel-Palestine issue is resolved, there 's also the belief that such a resolution won 't happen soon. For instance, in his book, Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. has Undermined Peace in the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi writes that the United States has and continues to act as Israel 's lawyer and that therefore it has undermined a real attempt to arrive at a peace accord. That peace accord is a major issue in the changes the Middle East has and continues to experience, and now with the U.S. 's attempt to normalize relations with Iran, there is much to consider

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is just one of the many facets that have shaped modern day politics in the Middle East. It is a conflict rooted in generations of violence, discrimination and prejudice that is complicated by a history older than any of the modern day superpowers. Ever since the creation of the state of Israel by the 1947 UN partition of Palestine
