Jews Muslims And Mass Media

The text discusses how Jews and Muslims are portrayed in the media, and how this often leads to conflict. The media has a significant role in the Middle East conflict, as it often favours images of Jews and Muslims that contrast with each other.

This text looks at the ways in which Jews, Muslims and the conflict between them has been covered in the modern media. Both Jews and Muslims generally receive a 'bad press'. This book will try to reveal why. The media have clearly played a pro-active role in the Middle East conflict, the coverage of which is obscured by the contrasting images of Jew and Muslim in western thought.
