Abstract

The war between Israel and the Gaza-based organization Hamas has shocked the entire world, provoking strong waves of criticism from world leaders and international organizations. The atrocities committed both in Israel and in the Gaza Strip, which affected Israelis and Gazans alike, hit the headlines immediately after the October 7th attack on Israel. This study aims at having a look at how Romanian journalists presented the conflict and its effects on civilians through metaphors, during the first month of conflict. The study will focus on the metaphors used in the headlines to describe the war, based on the two associations identified: war and religion, war and extreme weather, war and blood.
