Mona Chalabi Instagram – While Israeli victims are documented as people who were loved, Palestinians are uprooted, even in death. They’re not described as fathers or mothers, daughters or sons – they’re simply dead bodies. This summary doesn’t fully capture all the dehumanisation that is often present in the language of journalism. For example, Palestinian deaths are often mentioned in the context of vengeance (“retaliation”/“retaliatory”/“retaliated” appear 190 times in this dataset) and, unlike Israeli deaths/hostages, these victims are rarely mentioned by name. 

Here are some specific examples of how BBC News uses language to minimize Palestinian suffering:
* “Some 1,200 people have been killed in Israel, while more than 1,000 have died in retaliatory air strikes on Gaza.”
* “Israelis reject any comparison between the way Hamas kills civilians and the way Palestinian civilians die in their air strikes.”

There are only a few words where Palestinians get more mentions; “killed”, “died” (hardly surprising given that the Palestinian death toll is about 25x higher than the Israeli one at this point) and “wife” (again, I don’t find this surprising since the media is always much more interested in Arab patriarchies than Western ones).

This analysis is based on the majority of published BBC articles relating to Palestine/Israel, scraped between 10/7 and 12/2 by Jan Lietava (@yan.json) and Dana Najjar (@jarz_d), including 672 articles and 4404 posts in livefeeds. 1485 documents were automatically tagged as containing sentences relating to death, which were then individually read and manually tagged, based on whether they talked about Palestinians, Israelis, both or neither. The sentences were then filtered by mentions of words in the table above.
Mona Chalabi Instagram – The New York Times has consistently mentioned Israeli deaths more often than Palestinian deaths. What’s more, their coverage of Israeli deaths is *increasing* as more Palestinians are dying. Israeli deaths have been mentioned the most in the past few days, even though Israeli deaths have plateaued since 10/12 and Palestinian deaths have skyrocketed

Please read the notes below on this data – it’s crucial context.

📎 In addition to the bias in sheer volume of coverage, there was a huge difference in the language used. The word “slaughter” was used 53 times in these articles since 10/7 to describe the deaths of Israelis and zero times to describe the death of Palestinians. The word “massacre” shows up 24 times in reference to Israelis and once in reference to Palestinians.
📎  The articles rarely mention the names of Palestinians who die — instead using terms like “mourner”, “resident”, “assailant” or “militant”.
📎  In one article, a murdered Palestinian was simply referred to as the “bloodied corpse” of a presumed terrorist. This is still counted as a mention of a Palestinian death in the data despite the framing. Israelis who died were often mentioned individually and by name with reference to their families and professions which humanized them in comparison to anonymous Palestinians.

Sources: This data was compiled and analyzed by Holly Jackson, a researcher at University of California, Berkeley based on 991 New York Times articles posted between 10/7 and 10/18. The articles were selected if they contained any of the keywords: Palestine, Israel, Palestinian, and Israeli. 500 articles were automatically tagged to have mentions of death or words related to death. Holly read all death related sentences in these articles and tagged whether the sentence was talking about Palestinians, Israelis, both, or neither (i.e. something unrelated).

The data on deaths is from OCHA (but Palestinians are struggling to count and register deaths so their numbers are likely to be an undercount).
