Edited by

To be published by *Cambridge University Press *





The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only the world’s oldest conflict
but also the most controversial and the most misunderstood. No other
conflict has generated the most news headlines or stirred up so much
intense passion and debates in world parliaments, disagreements on
campuses, or arguments in international organisations (Waxman, 2019).
Symbolic and ideological constructions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
represent a variety of perspectives as well as diverse interpretations and
representations of the conflict across different media, law reports, policy
statements, religious journals, etc. These varied and often contested
perspectives enable us gain a comprehensive understanding of the conflict –
about human struggles and resistance to forces that threaten their
existence.



The editors of this oncoming collection seek thoroughly researched academic
studies that will not only contribute to new knowledge through in-depth
analyses of the constructions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but also
highlight how public opinion, perceptions, attitudes, and responses to the
conflict might have been influenced or manipulated by these ideological
constructions.



We therefore invite researchers, scholars, and professionals in conflict
and peace studies, linguistics, journalism, media studies, discourse
analysis, semiotics, political science, and cultural studies to submit
chapters, which will highlight  interdisciplinary approaches to *Discourse
Analysis* to studying discursive constructions of:



·      media reports

·      online reports/campaigns

·      law reports

·      religious documents

·      political discourses

·      policy statements etc. that

*Deadline:  December 31, 2024.*

Autumn of *2026*.
