“…Second, legal scholars and legal practitioners have given considerable attention to whether statements from families regarding their suffering due to a loved one’s victimizations have an impact on the outcomes of criminal and civil trials (I. Edwards, 2009; Gordon & Brodsky, 2007; Haider et al, 2022; Matthews et al, 2022). Those statements typically come after a lengthy trial, and even then, the bulk of the public may not be exposed to such statements due to various reasons.…”

Objective: Outgroup empathy deficit research suggests that White U.S. citizens-especially those most prone to prejudice-should report minimal empathy for Black victims of police violence. We propose that this oft-cited phenomena is not inevitable, and the police-related experiences of those White individuals must be considered. To address this issue, we considered empathy toward a Black versus White woman victim of a fatal police shooting. We were particularly interested in identifying factors that might eliminate outgroup empathy deficits. Method: Two hundred and thirty White MTurk participants completed a rightwing authoritarianism (RWA) measure and reported the extent that they experienced police mistreatment. They were randomly assigned to read about a deadly White policeman shooting of a Black or White woman and reported the extent they believed Black people experienced unfair police mistreatment, their victimdirected empathy, and their compassion for her family. Results: There was clear evidence of inclusive victimhood consciousness (i.e., acknowledging that one's personal experiences are like those of an outgroup). Specifically, in the Black (but not White) victim condition, greater perceived personal police mistreatment predicted elevated perceived police mistreatment of Black individuals, which in turn was linked to heightened victim-directed empathy and family-directed compassion. Critically important, these effects were limited to high RWA participants. The Victim Race × Personal Police Mistreatment interaction was not significant for low RWA participants. Conclusions: In sum, among highly authoritarian White participants, police mistreatment experiences were positively associated with empathy for a Black woman victim of a deadly police shooting and compassion for her family.

“…Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a sort of discourse analysis research that focuses on how speeches and texts in political and social contexts are used to perpetrate, reproduce, and oppose societal abuses of power, authority, and inequality (Wodak, 2002;Al-Abbas & Haider, 2020;Haider et al, 2021). CDA tackles social issues, discursive power structures, and forms culture ideological activity and society (Fairclough, 2013;Al-Abbas, 2022).…”

“…-War justifications Some statements were meant to justify the war against the Palestinians as demonstrated in Table 4. In examples (9), the spokesman of IDF claims that Hamas forces continue attacking Israeli towns with their rockets all the time. Thus, Israeli forces are forced to launch a series of raids on Gaza Strip as a reaction.…”

This study investigated the representation of Gaza War (2021) in the official remarks of Hamas and Israel. All remarks released over the 11-day war were collected and analysed according to Van Dijk's (2006) ideological square to explore the discursive strategies that each party utilized and uncover the possible hidden ideologies. Two main strategies were employed in the speeches, namely, emphasizing our good things and emphasizing their bad things. The collected examples generated different themes including praising war achievements, war justifications, threats, future aims, and national glorification. The study found that each party tended to represent themselves positively and the other negatively. Israel focused their speeches on war achievements and threats while Hamas's speeches were more emotional and centred on self-glorification.
