Abstract | ||||
This thesis attempts to provide a critical discourse analysis of some selected speeches of the 67th and 68th plenary meetings of the Seventy-fifth session of the UN General Assembly. These meetings were conducted based on ongoing events in Jerusalem and Gaza in May 2021. The selected speeches were given by political representatives of different states demonstrating and clarifying their stances and attitudes over the complicated rising situation in the Holy City and Gaza. Therefore, they carry loaded words within loaded concepts and ideologies that can influence international public opinion. Methodologically, CDA utilization is necessary in interpreting how ideological statements, public speeches, and stances can be exploited and manipulated to demonstrate support or opposition (hostility) towards parties affecting the masses’ minds. By using relations of power, language also redirects people’s minds away from truths by all available means and tools. Historically, the UN General Assembly is an official gathering for world nations in a diplomatic framework, and annual sessions are conducted to tackle worldwide crises and challenges. From wars and struggles to climate and pandemic challenges, Economic issues to natural disasters. The Middle East, Question of Palestine has been one of the main concerns of the Assembly. The rising situation in Jerusalem and in Gaza in 2021 takes over the seventy-fifth session in 2021 as the escalation state took place. | ||||
