Özet

7 Ekim 2023 olayları, Batı medyasında sıklıkla 11 Eylül 2001 ile karşılaştırılan tarihsel bir kırılma noktası olarak çerçevelenmiş ve Gazze savaşına ilişkin kamuoyunu yeniden şekillendirmiştir. Bu tür benzetmeler, uluslararası habercilikte şiddetin, sorumluluğun ve siyasal meşruiyetin nasıl inşa edildiği açısından önemli sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Robert Entman’ın çerçeveleme teorisinin yanı sıra Edward Said ve Antonio Gramsci’nin görüşlerinden yararlanan bu çalışma, BBC haberlerinin bu yorumlayıcı sınırları nasıl yapılandırdığını incelemek amacıyla nitel söylem analizini kullanmaktadır. Makale, BBC’nin 7 Ekim 2023 sonrasında Gazze savaşına ilişkin haberlerinin yalnızca mevcut siyasal ayrışmaları yansıtmadığını, aynı zamanda bu söylemin inşasına aktif olarak katıldığını; İsrail’in askerî eylemlerini güvenlikleştirilmiş bir mantık içinde normalleştirirken Filistinlilerin tarihsel ve siyasal taleplerinin anlaşılabilirliğini sınırlandırdığını ileri sürmektedir. BBC haberleri, 7 Ekim’i 11 Eylül 2001’e benzer kurucu bir kırılma olarak söylemsel düzeyde yeniden konumlandırarak, sonraki gelişmeleri işgal, abluka ve yapısal şiddetin daha geniş tarihsel bağlamlarını marjinalleştiren bir terörle mücadele paradigması içine yerleştirmiştir. Bulgular, Entman’ın dört çerçeveleme işlevi boyunca sorun tanımının terörizm etrafında şekillendiğini; nedensel atfın, canlı kalkan söylemine yönelik tekrar eden referanslar da dâhil olmak üzere Hamas’ın sorumluluğunu vurguladığını; ahlaki değerlendirmenin İsrailli ve Filistinli acıların kişiselleştirilmesi ve insancıllaştırılmasında belirgin asimetriler sergilediğini; çözüm önerilerinin ise yapısal siyasal çözümler yerine İsrail merkezli güvenlik politikalarını önceliklendirdiğini göstermektedir. Bu örüntüler bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde, BBC haberlerinin epistemik bir düzenleme alanı olarak işlev gördüğüne işaret edilmektedir. Bu süreçte İsrail’in askerî eylemleri güvenlik mantığı çerçevesinde anlaşılır ve meşru kılınırken, Filistinlilerin siyasal talepleri asimetrik bir çatışma bağlamında daha dar ve sınırlı bir çerçevede ele alınmıştır.

Abstract

The events of October 7, 2023, were reflexively framed in Western media discourse as a historical rupture comparable to September 11, 2001, reshaping public interpretations of the war in Gaza. Such analogies carry significant implications for how violence, responsibility, and political legitimacy are constructed in international news coverage. Drawing on Robert Entman’s framing theory, alongside insights from Edward Said and Antonio Gramsci, this study employs qualitative discourse analysis to examine how BBC reporting structured these interpretive boundaries. This article argues that BBC coverage of the Gaza war following October 7, 2023, not only reflected existing political divisions but also actively participated in constructing them, normalizing Israeli military action within a securitized logic while limiting the historical and political intelligibility of Palestinian claims. By discursively repositioning October 7 as a foundational rupture analogous to September 11, 2001, BBC reporting embedded subsequent events within a counterterrorism paradigm that marginalized broader histories of occupation, blockade, and structural violence. The findings demonstrate that, across Entman’s four framing functions, problem definition centered on terrorism; causal interpretation emphasized Hamas’ responsibility, including recurrent references to human shields; moral evaluation displayed asymmetries in the personalization and humanization of Israeli and Palestinian suffering; and treatment recommendations prioritized Israeli security-centered responses over structural political solutions. Collectively, these patterns suggest that BBC coverage functioned as a site of epistemic ordering, shaping interpretive hierarchies in which Israeli military actions were rendered intelligible within security logics while Palestinian political claims were more narrowly contextualized in an asymmetrical conflict.
