Abstract

The escalating Israeli Palestinian conflict since October 2023 highlights the role of media in shaping public perception. Al Jazeera English utilizes YouTube to disseminate information globally, influencing opinions through a documentary video entitled "How Israel Won the West | The Big Picture." This study analyzes the discourse of terrorism carried out by Israel as a form of violation of international humanitarian law. This research employed an explora- tory qualitative approach, utilizing multimodal discourse analysis techniques. The selected documentary video serves as the unit of analysis due to its employment of various modes that influence the discourse directed at the audience. The results of this study indicate that the discourse in the documentary reflects violations of international humanitarian law com- mitted by Israel in the conflict with Palestine. The narrative and visuals presented highlight Israel's actions that are often justified, creating the impression of immunity from humanitar- ian law despite attacking civilians. Strong support from Western countries such as the United States further strengthens Israel's position and hinders the implementation of the law that should be carried out. This investigation advances the field of international media studies by illustrating how Al Jazeera utilized the YouTube platform to contest prevailing Western- backed narratives and to mobilize global public opinion regarding the conflict.

Abstract

Conception and harmonization of religious culture and traditions within multifaith families in three villages known as centers of religious moderation in Malang City. The background to this study arises from the complexity of urban life characterized by religious and cultural diversity, which demands harmonious management of differences within the family and community context. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of local documents as the primary data sources. The results show that multifaith families in the three villages are able to build harmony through several strategies: mutual respect for each member's religious practices, adapting traditions and rituals to be inclusive, and maintaining open communication between family members and neighbors. Furthermore, social interactions at the village level, such as joint celebrations, community activities, and support among residents, contribute to strengthening social cohesion and fostering values of tolerance. This research confirms that the harmonization of religious culture and traditions is not merely a normative concept, but a practice that can be realized through awareness, flexibility, and appreciation of differences. These findings contribute to the understanding of religious moderation at the local level and serve as a reference for developing an adaptive and harmonious model for managing multifaith family diversity.
