Representações dos palestinos no conflito Israel-Hamas: uma análise da cobertura da folha de S. Paulo e do Brasil de Fato

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of the social representation of the Palestinian people in the coverage of two Brazilian newspapers, Folha de S. Paulo and Brasil de Fato. The websites were selected due to the former representing a major media outlet and a key player in the country's hegemonic media landscape, and the latter being an independent newspaper and portal with an editorial line tied to progressive sectors. The analysis focuses on the period from October 7 (when Hamas launched an unexpected attack on Israeli territory and Israel declared war on Hamas) to November 6, marking one month of the conflict, during which the news agenda heavily emphasized the issue. The study addresses the historical and current impacts of the conflict, emphasizing the importance of narratives that uphold human dignity and the complexity of the issue. The analysis is grounded in the theory of social representations and the concept of journalistic framing, which enable an understanding of the characteristics of the portrayal of the Palestinian people.
