Klappentext

Examines How Social Media and AI Reshape Global Narratives of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israel-Palestine conflict has long stood at the center of international attention, but in the digital era, it has taken on new dimensions shaped by social media and machine intelligence.Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Age of Social Media and Artificial Intelligenceoffers an in-depth, interdisciplinary examination of how digital technologies have transformed the ways the conflict is represented, debated, and understood. By tracing the algorithmic amplification of propaganda, the rise of digital resistance movements, and the weaponization of disinformation, this pioneering collection provides an urgent scholarly response to a conflict increasingly mediated through data, platforms, and AI-driven systems of visibility and control.

Editors Innocent Chiluwa and Anna Szczepaniak-Kozak bring together leading and emerging voices from across the humanities, social sciences, and information technology to address the interplay between communication, power, and justice in an age of algorithmic mediation. Through critical analyses of discourse, media structures, and technological infrastructures, the contributors reveal how social media and AI shape perceptions of legitimacy, violence, and victimhood, influencing both public sentiment and policy. Offering fresh frameworks for understanding how digital communication technologies not only reflect but actively construct geopolitical realities, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Age of Social Media and Artificial Intelligence
