Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article explores the important role played by Israeli television's human-interest war reportage in challenging the Israeli hegemonic heroic ethos between 1968 and 1993, when Israel's state television station held a monopoly of the airwaves. By depicting the absurdity of the conflicts in question and implying political responsibility for the mutual suffering of the protagonists and their enemies, documentary human-interest reports contributed to the heated political debate in Israeli society over the legitimacy of these violent conflicts. This contribution was possible due to the sophisticated utilization of cinematic methods that created complex texts, which challenged the Israeli hegemonic discourse of war.
