Abstract

Henry has called for rhetorical scholarship on the Gulf crisis; Brock and Howell have initiated the study of Palestinian rhetoric; and Conquergood has urged rhetorical scholars to study the discourse of displacement. This essay examines the Palestinian rhetoric that was a response to the exigence of the Gulf crisis. As such, this essay sheds light on the rhetoric of the gulf crisis, extends the study of Palestinian rhetoric, and is a case study of the discourse of the displaced. The study reveals five significant patterns of Palestinian rhetoric in response to the Gulf war and outlines implications that can be drawn from the study of the discourse of the Gulf war, the Palestinians and the displaced and oppressed.
