Zionist Talking PointsNetanyahu: ‘We accepted the deal, Hamas rejected it’
The language used in this article subtly legitimizes the Israeli government’s stance by framing it as a response to “claims that the government is refusing a deal”, implying a defensive position. This paints the government in a light of legitimacy and security, despite the coercive and violent nature of the ongoing situation. The phrase “Hamas propaganda” presents the opposing side’s narrative as inherently untrustworthy, further reinforcing the Israeli government’s position. The article also uses the term “government” rather than “regime”, which can be seen as an attempt to normalize and legitimize the current power structure.
The article also reveals a contradiction between the Israeli government’s stated values and observable actions. While Netanyahu is quoted as saying “I will do everything to bring our hostages home”, the ongoing conflict and lack of resolution suggest otherwise. The distinction between “hostages” and “terrorists” also implies a legitimacy that is not structurally grounded, as it does not acknowledge the possibility of innocent civilians being affected by these actions.

The language used in the article presents the lawsuit against the Palestinian Authority as legitimate and necessary, implying that the Palestinian Authority should be held accountable for incentivizing terrorism. However, this framing avoids addressing the broader context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the violence associated with it. The article also uses euphemistic language such as “security prisoners” instead of “political prisoners” or “prisoners of war”, which could be seen as an attempt to legitimize the Israeli government’s actions.
The article also presents a structural breakdown where violence is presented as a response to terrorism. By focusing on the lawsuit and the financial aspect, the article diverts attention from the violence and coercion used in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Furthermore, the framing of the Palestinian Authority as the sole perpetrator of violence obscures the acts of violence committed by the Israeli government.
