Proche Orient, extension du domaine de la désinformation

In the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 attacks, media attention focused on the horror suffered by the Israeli victims. But as the situation deteriorated for the Palestinians and the response became disproportionate, the issue of Gaza paradoxically disappeared from television screens, while remaining highly visible on social media. Several recurring patterns can be observed. The Israeli army spokesperson and the Israeli ambassador are received with deference and rarely contradicted, whereas political figures critical of Israel were subjected to a barrage of questions. Journalists who dare to challenge the official narrative are exposed to fierce attacks, sometimes even risking their jobs. One intern was even dismissed for discussing Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners side by side. At the same time, recognized Middle East specialists have been progressively marginalized, relegated to the same level as activists. The blockade, the famine, and the ban on journalists entering Gaza were downplayed, in a form of denial of international humanitarian law. How can this conformity be explained? There's an element of communalism, an element of Westernization fueled by the idea that Israel is at the forefront of the fight against Islamism, and an element of professional caution, with everyone fearing being taken off the air. From CNews to France Culture, and including France Télévisions, the Israeli narrative has become the dominant one almost by default.
