Changing the narrative around Palestine | Randa Abdel Fattah
Manage episode 406446040 series 3438634
What does coverage of Gaza tell us about how the West sees the rest of the world?
A recent report into mainstream news coverage found Islamophobic and anti-Arab language was widely used in coverage of the events after 7 October, with Israeli victims described using emotive language 11 times more than Palestinian victims.
It also documented how pro-Palestinian voices were frequently vilified and treated with hostility during interviews. So why is this happening?
In our first episode of Season 3 of The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with sociologist and writer Dr Randa Abdel Fattah, who speaks about her first-hand experience as an outspoken Palestinian academic.
She argues in her work that media narratives paint Palestinians and Arabs as ‘unreasonable, unrestrained and uncivilised’ as a way of maintaining a western colonial order.
