“…Our results also contribute to previous studies within the purview of CDA that examined the manipulative power of the language of peace (Gavriely-Nuri, 2015; Musolff, 2005). Critical discourse scholars have found that conciliatory discursive phenomena employed by the in-group’s leaders blur militaristic polices (Gavriely-Nuri, 2015) or perform an appearance of a peaceful actor in the international arena (Friedman and Kampf, 2014). These strategies were shown to be uncritically perceived by the intended audiences (i.e.…”

The aim of this article is twofold: first, to demonstrate how the use of experimental methods challenges the implicit assumption of progressive discourse analysts that ‘inspiring’ messages will have a positive effect on political attitudes and trust regardless of the recipients’ early political dispositions, and second, to examine the power of conciliatory message design to change political attitudes in favor of a peaceful solution to intractable conflicts such as the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. By employing the conceptual frameworks of progressive discourse analysis and experimental critical discourse analysis, we examined the most comprehensive hypothesis formulated thus far in the literature of conflict resolution with regard to the conditions under which conciliatory messages become successful. We found that the exposure of hawkish participants to highly conciliatory messages decreases both their support for compromise-based peace and their trust in the opponent’s leader, which underlines the need for more caution on the side of peace discourse scholars when assuming that conciliatory language has the power to bring about a (positive) political change. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for critical/progressive discourse analysts, conflict resolution scholars and professionals involved in conciliatory message design.

“…In this study, I want to linger with the idea of encounters and problematize peace in Israel/Palestine. While Israel sees itself as a peace-seeking nation, its politicians often distance themselves from it (Gavriely-Nuri, 2015), and the Israeli news media tends to use peace to brand Israel favorably in the international arena without any commitment to diplomatic negotiations (Katz, 2022). Archival research reveals that Israel rejected peace initiatives that could have prevented war (Bar-Joseph, 2006) or made false promises to present its own initiatives (Raz, 2013).…”

Peace is usually studied by looking at nation-states. Recently, peace scholars have become interested in peace found in the everyday lives of ordinary people. Focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I argue that media scholars can contribute to this effort because they are well-equipped to capture fleeting manifestations of everyday peace. However, the problematic legacy of peace in Israel/Palestine necessitates a different conceptual framework. I highlight encounters in and through media between Israeli Jews and Palestinians and contend that they present opportunities for constructive dialogue. I demonstrate this point by analyzing the Israeli television show Arab Labor, focusing on its production process, and the plight of Jewish and Palestinian characters on the show. By fusing text and context, I suggest that media do not persuade people to believe in peace; instead, media encounters, both on and off the screen, function as cultural forums for discussing complex issues undergirding violent conflicts.

“…Jewish-Israeli public opinion is characterized by political polarization between those holding dovish (procompromise or “leftist”) and those holding hawkish (anticompromise or “rightist”) political attitudes toward reconciliation with the Palestinians (Dori-Hacohen, 2016; Dori-Hacohen & Shavit, 2013). Since the issue of reconciliation divides Israeli society (Gavriely-Nuri, 2015), it serves as a suitable arena for studying interpretative repertoires and their function in constructing the boundaries between different epistemic groups in Israel.…”

Amicable messages delivered in a conflict may have a positive effect on recipients’ willingness to reconcile. Although studies have examined their effect, we still lack understanding on what grounds amicable messages are accepted or rejected. This study identifies the interpretative repertoires Israeli news commenters apply to make sense of amicable messages delivered unexpectedly by foreign opponent leaders, and demonstrates how they are employed for drawing epistemic boundaries between members of an interpretative community. Analysis of 2,037 comments to reported messages toward Israel in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict reveals 11 evaluative categories employed by Israeli commenters within two interpretative repertoires: suspicion and opportunity. Most commenters rejected the messages on grounds of the source’s lack of credibility. A minority of commenters accepted the messages, focusing on wishful outcomes and in-group policies. The conclusion discusses the importance of studying interpretative repertoires and their applicability to other communities involved in conflicts.
