Abstract

This article offers a critical analysis of the translation strategies employed in Western media discourse when translating terms related to the Palestinian cause. It focuses on the use of omission, deletion, and substitution as mechanisms for reshaping the political narrative of the conflict in a way that aligns with Zionist ideology. The analysis highlights how key terms such as "Nakba," "Al-Aqsa Mosque," and "Palestinian resistance" are replaced with expressions that legitimize the occupation and obscure its colonial nature. The article concludes that translation in this context serves as an ideological tool that shapes global consciousness and global opinion, calling for a critical approach to media translation as a key player in symbolic and political conflict.
