Abstract

This study investigates the representation of civilian casualties and narratives during the Israeli-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the role of media framing, digital activism, and netizen participation. The Israeli-Hamas conflict, characterized by complex power dynamics and deeply rooted historical tensions, significantly impacts how narratives are constructed and understood in both traditional and digital media. This research draws from Public Sphere Theory to analyzing how civilian experiences are represented and perceived amidst ongoing violence.
