Abstract

The Gaza War has been significantly influenced by victimization narratives. Israel portrays itself as a victim in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while possessing superior military might. Fake news can have a big impact on global public opinion, whether it is deliberately propagated or happens accidentally. It influences public support, impacts policy decisions, and adds to the conflict's ongoing nature. Ten Israeli storylines that were included in news articles, TV shows, and social media platforms between June 6, 2017, and February 15, 2024, were examined by the researcher using a mixed method using a frame semantic model. By identifying the frame semantics of victimization narratives, observers might lessen the likelihood of negative outcomes and better assess the objectives of reporters. Fillmore's frame semantics (1977b) has been demonstrated to be present in the Israeli victimization narrative through both qualitative and quantitative study. It's been discovered  that Israeli narratives have different types of Victimization, and the most frequent types are political, terrorist, humanitarian, ethical, and religious.
