| Abstract | Rhetoric invoking “Hitler,” “Nazis,” and the “Holocaust” to justify Western military intervention in the Middle East has been a demonstrable aspect of political discourse since at least the First Iraq... War. Because a Jewish nation with a large number of Holocaust survivors was attacked on October 7th, 2023, the potential extent and nature of Holocaust references in subsequent news coverage must be explored in further detail. The present study is the first systematic investigation of the search node Holocaust in online news articles with Hamas in the title, sourced from the News on the Web (NOW) Corpus in a roughly 16-week period following October 7th. Results seems to confirm that news coverage of current events is similarly rife with comparisons to the Holocaust of European Jews in terms of the human suffering having recently been endured by Israelis, not by Palestinians.show more |
