ISRAEL-PALESTINE ISSUE IN THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ON OCTOBER 6-7 ATTACS AND INFORMATION WARFARE

ISRAEL-PALESTINE ISSUE IN THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ON OCTOBER 6-7 ATTACS AND INFORMATION WARFARE Gizem YILDIRIM Güngör ŞAHİN War is a phenomenon that has taken place in social life throughout political history and whose diversity has increased day by day. The reflection of this phenomenon on societies has occurred thanks to technology. With the increase in technological developments, news sources have increased and led to societies being informed about the events taking place in the world, regardless of their geographical location. Thus, the way the world press and media handle the news has affected the perspectives and thoughts of societies. Since the way the media deals with wars and the meaning they want to convey to society generally proceed in parallel, societies' attitudes and approaches toward attacks may change. Since the way the attacks are reflected in the world public opinion varies according to the ideology of the news sources, there has been some competition among these sources. This competition is reflected today as information wars. The basis of information wars is the difference in the ideologies of these news sources. Ideological differences can be demonstrated through the discourse style, language and content of the news presented. This study dealt with 3-day news analysis from the day the Hamas-Israeli attacks began on October 6-7, 2023. The aim of the study is to examine to what extent media organizations affect the flow of information, based on the October 7 Hamas-Israel attacks. The fact that this issue was not addressed from the information warfare perspective when the literature was reviewed shows the importance of the study. The hypothesis of the research is that differences in the ideology of newspaper organizations create information warfare in a way that supports or increases existing conflicts. Based on this hypothesis, how the information flow of the news affected this war was addressed as a research question. The study was limited to the news of Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Xinhua and Sputnik news agencies between 7-10 October and used the critical discourse analysis method while examining the news. In this way, the effect of information warfare on Hamas-Israeli attacks was tried to be explained. The findings revealed the existence of information wars among the reasons why the war did not end.

News Sharing on Social Media: Mapping the Ideology of News Media, Politicians, and the Mass Public

Abstract This article examines the information sharing behavior of U.S. politicians and the mass public by mapping the ideological sharing space of political news on social media. As data, we use the near-universal currency of online information exchange: web links. We introduce a methodological approach and software to unify the measurement of ideology across social media platforms by using sharing data to jointly estimate the ideology of news media organizations, politicians, and the mass public. Empirically, we show that (1) politicians who share ideologically polarized content share, by far, the most political news and commentary and (2) that the less competitive elections are, the more likely politicians are to share polarized information. These results demonstrate that news and commentary shared by politicians come from a highly unrepresentative set of ideologically extreme legislators and that decreases in election pressures (e.g., by gerrymandering) may encourage polarized sharing behavior.

Why Do Some Conservative CEOs Publicly Support Liberal Causes? Organizational Ideology, Managerial Discretion, and CEO Sociopolitical Activism

The phenomenon of chief executive officers (CEOs) speaking out on contested social issues is a recent one, as CEO sociopolitical activism was seen as overly risky, and even taboo, for most of American business history. Yet, CEOs are increasingly choosing sides in societal debates despite the inherent risk of alienating stakeholders who disagree with the CEO’s stance. Even more puzzlingly, conservative CEOs sometimes espouse liberal stances in such debates, which runs counter to the otherwise consistent evidence in the upper echelons literature that CEOs are guided by their own values in their actions. Our study addresses this paradox by examining the antecedents of CEO liberal activism, with an emphasis on the interplay between the CEO’s ideology and the prevailing ideological tilt of the employee population in driving CEOs’ activism decisions. Drawing on the concept of managerial discretion, or latitude of action, we theorize that a pronounced organizational ideology constrains a CEO’s ability to act in accordance with their own values—particularly in the highly symbolic domain of activism. We also argue that conservative CEOs are relatively more focused on instrumental rationales for activism, whereas liberal CEOs tend to prioritize more intrinsic rationales, a consequence of which is that conservative CEOs more heavily weight organizational ideology in their activism decisions. We test our theory in the context of a highly publicized letter signed by nearly 100 CEOs of public companies in opposition to North Carolina’s controversial 2016 “bathroom bill.” Relying on a variety of novel data sources, we find robust support for our theory.

Fiqh Reference Patterns of the Majelis Taklim in Central Kalimantan

Majelis taklim (known as taklim assemblies or taklim council) in Central Kalimantan uses different references in conveying and discussing fiqh material. This leads to a mixture of ideologies, for example, there are indications of deception in using fiqh references. Hence, the research aimed to find out the pattern of fiqh references used by Majelis Taklim in Central Kalimantan. It used empirical legal research with a sociological juridical type and a socio-legal approach. The research showed the fiqh references used by the majelis taklim appear with various ideologies. And, four fiqh reference patterns were found, including the tendentious, the comparative and a mixture of ideologies or non-schools of thought, the pattern with organizational ideology, and the pattern referring towards the Syafi'i school of thought. From the four characteristics, it seems that the tendentious fiqh pattern, either tarjih maqasid or malat al-af‘al, more likely leads to bringing mudharat (negative) and, even, not given benefit for Muslim community as a whole. However, in practice, there are indications of deception that may not be aware of by the public. If this tendentious pattern accepts ideological pluralism would certainly not be problematic. But, in reality, they are seen as splitting-bamboo politics with a scenario according to their interests and status to promote their ideology. Also, it needs to highlight the comparison of fiqh and a mixture of ideologies or non-schools of thought. It is believed that this pattern has its benefits. On the other hand, people who are less well prepared on az-zari‘ah, will deal with their problems, which may lead to ideological chaos.

CHALLENGES RELIGIOUS TELEVISION, BETWEEN BUSINESS AND DA’WAH: STUDY OF TV9 NAHDLATUL ULAMA INDONESIA

Television has the advantage that it is audio-visual (seen and heard), it can depict reality and also present events that are happening. TV9 Nahdlatul Ulama is a television station based on religious values. This TV was founded by the largest religious organization in Indonesia. As an economic institution, television is not only used as a means to spread organizational ideologies, but also takes into account business aspects to do well. This study aims to examine the performance of a religious television station amidst the intense competition in the television industry in Indonesia, and how media performance is affected by financial sources. By conducting in-depth interviews with key informants and direct observation, this research found that TV9 practices management principles in media management, even though there are several considerations for Nahdlatul Ulama management, TV9 involves personnel from Nahdlatul Ulama members in aspects of its management so that ideological transformation can run well. From the aspect of broadcast media performance, TV9 benefits from the very large mass base of Nahdlatul Ulama members in Indonesia. TV9 focuses on including Kiayi and Bunyai as inspiration for television program design and also includes Islamic boarding schools. In the culture of NU, Kiayi and Bunyai have a strategic position in the religious tradition of Nahdlatul Ulama.

Igor Ogurtsov: A Visionary Orthodox Thinker Ahead of His Time

Based on the author’s collected memories of participants in the events described, memoirs, journalistic articles published in Russian and Russian emigrant publications, as well as on the documentary materials of the classified court proceedings that took place in Leningrad in 1967–1968, the article recounts the history and ideology of the underground anti-communist organization — the All-Russian Social Christian Union for the Liberation of the People (VSKhSON). The publication focuses on the fate of the founder of the All-Russian Social Christian Union for the Liberation of the People, the outstanding Russian Orthodox thinker Igor Vyacheslavovich Ogurtsov, who, in the early 1960s, along with a group of his associates, advocated for the synthesis of Christianity, patriotism, and social ideas against the communist system. Particular attention is given to the Program of the All-Russian Social Christian Union for the Liberation of the People. Written by Igor Ogurtsov 60 years ago, it remains relevant today in both scientific and political contexts. The author of the Program, while analyzing the communist system, not only predicted the inevitability of communism’s collapse but also proposed a specific path for the rebirth of Russia after the fall of the “party dictatorship” — a path rejecting the extremities of both socialist and capitalist perspectives and implying the country’s further development based on the principles of sociality and Christian ideals.

The Supply and Demand of Rebel Governance

Abstract A recent wave of civil conflict scholarship examines rebel governance, the process through which insurgent groups organize local affairs in areas under their control. While current research predominantly focuses on the supply side of rebel governance, the attention given to the demand side has been relatively limited. In this study, we take stock of recent scholarship on the dynamic relationship between rebels and civilians to theoretically explore the supply side of rebel governance and develop a new demand-side typology that captures the key factors influencing civilian preferences regarding the nature of rebel rule. Specifically, we argue that demand for rebel governance is mainly shaped by the interaction between civilians’ perceptions of the state and civilian–rebel compatibility, which we define as civilians’ perceptions of the compatibility of the rebel group with their own values, ideology, identity, and preferred modes of socio-political organization. To illustrate our main theoretical points, we draw upon insights gleaned from multiple insurgencies. Our study significantly enhances our understanding of how rebel–civilian interactions mold the fabric of political order in civil war environments.

EXAMPLE CRIMINOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF THE SPREAD OF THE IDEOLOGY OF TERRORISM IN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

The article examines the facts of the spread of the ideology of terrorism in educational organizationsas manifestations of «idealistic» terrorism, according to the classification proposed by Yu.M. Antonyan.From the point of view of criminology, terrorism is understood as a diverse phenomenon. In this regard,it is necessary to determine what type of terrorism educational organizations face. Next, it is necessary tohighlight the determinants of the spread of the ideology of terrorism in educational organizations.The analysis of criminal cases according to the elements of Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of theRussian Federation and a survey of teachers and teachers of a number of educational organizations in theAltai Territory makes it possible to determine the determinants of the spread of the ideology of terrorismin educational organizations. The traditional division of the determinants of crime into general social,socio-psychological and personal needs to be clarified in relation to terrorist crimes committed by youngpeople studying in educational organizations. Among the general social determinants of terrorist crime in educational organizations, the main role is played by the social qualities of young people. Among the sociopsychological determinants, the main role is played by shortcomings in family education and the formalismof preventive measures. The analysis of criminal cases allows us to conclude that among the families of thoseaccused and on trial for committing terrorist crimes in educational organizations, pedagogically incorrectlyoriented families prevail, where, for one reason or another, psychological contact with the child has notbeen established.

Political ideology of nonprofit organizations

AbstractObjectiveThis article provides a novel measure of nonprofit political ideology using semantic text analysis of public Internal Revenue Service filings. It explores the relationship between electoral competition and private donations.MethodsMission statements of over 150,000 U.S. nonprofits are matched to Congressional speeches to classify ideology on a political spectrum. The measure is validated against established ideology scores. Donation data are analyzed to examine if donors strategically countervail expected policy changes after elections.ResultsThe proposed measure shows a significant correlation with other ideology metrics. Donations are found to move in sync with ideological shifts of the government rather than to countervail expected policy changes after elections.ConclusionThe mission statement‐based measure enables studying nonprofit positioning. Findings suggest expressive motivations make donation trends complementary to voting trends.

Paramilitaries, parochialism, and peace: The moral foundations and personality traits of Slovenskí Branci.

Paramilitary organizations have increasingly become a cause for concern among policy makers and the media in recent years, in part because the former are often seen as a potential threat to peace (or at least to the status quo of the current political systems) in the countries in which they emerge. Organizations such as the Oathkeepers and 3 Percenters (also known as III%ers) in the United States have grown significantly in the last two decades, while paramilitary organizations playing a key role in both offensive and defensive actions in Crimea and the Donbas Region have become a focus of discussion in the Russian war on Ukraine. Although they have not always garnered as much attention, paramilitary organizations in Central and Eastern Europe have a long history. While most are relatively inactive, others play a wide variety of active roles, sometimes even running operations in parallel with a state's official armed forces (e.g., the PMO serving the state in Poland, or the Night Wolves helping Russia capture Crimea). Despite the increase in the number and activity of these paramilitary organizations, little is known about the personal, social, moral, and psychological background of the individuals who join them. After reviewing the history and ideology of the largest paramilitary organization in the Slovak Republic, this article presents and discusses the results of a survey administered to the group. This survey used different measures of personality, morality, and identity, as well as information about respondents' personal background, family history, socio-economic status, and political ideology. We find significant relationships between certain individual personality traits and the importance of certain moral foundations among members of these organizations in relation to their broader social community.

How authenticity of corporate social responsibility affects organizational attractiveness: Stakeholder perceptions of organizational ideology

AbstractDespite the impact of ideologies on corporate social responsibility (CSR), little is known whether the authenticity of CSR can be assessed in the face of ideological tensions. Following cognitive dissonance and attribution theories, this study investigates the impact of CSR authenticity, which is conceptualized as a function of (1) the ideological fit between company and its CSR initiative and (2) the perceived motive of an ideologically distinct initiative, on organizational attractiveness. Findings of a survey on 253 respondents reveal that while both dimensions of CSR authenticity affect organizational attractiveness, the fit between company and its CSR has a higher effect than does the social motive of CSR. Moreover, positive attitudes toward the CSR initiative as well as the company itself both mediate these relationships. The study shows taking an ideological perspective in authenticity is a relevant approach to understand CSR in the politically polarized contexts of most countries.

The Romanov Dynasty and Youth Movements in the Russian Empire and Emigration of the "First Wave"

The subject of the study is the influence of the Romanov family on the formation, development and ideology of Russian extracurricular organizations in the first half of the XX century. The author also examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the symbolic significance of the Romanovs' membership in children's associations and the role of the institution of patronage of organizations in preserving imperial traditions in the emigration of the "first wave". The connection of the Grand Dukes with the youth movements of the Union of Musketeers and the Order of Crusaders, which were active in the second half of the 1920s - early 1930s in Harbin and in the exclusion zone of the Chinese–Eastern Railway, is also considered. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the broad formulation of the question: 5 organizations have been considered for 3 decades. As a result of the conducted research, it is concluded that the ruling dynasty had a great influence on the emergence of children's and youth organizations in the Russian Empire. Their creation began with the initiative of Nicholas II in 1908 . Subsequently, for many decades, members of the Romanov family were patrons and participants of various Russian children's movements. Many of these movements, in turn, have made monarchism an important component of their ideology. In addition to Nicholas II, before the revolution, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna provided assistance in the development of the scout movement, the heir to the throne was an honorary scout, and his second cousin Georgy Konstantinovich was no longer an honorary, but a real scout of the Tsarskoye Selo detachment.

Use of Social Network Analysis Techniques Fight Against Terrorism

9/11 saldırıları sonrası terör örgütleri üzerinde yapılan birçok çalışma, terör örgütlerinin merkezsiz yapılar olarak yapılandığını göstermektedir. Her ne kadar bu örgütlerin hiyerarşik yapılanmaları mevcut olsa da terör eylemlerini, merkezden bağımsız, hücre tipi yapılanmalar gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu hücreler, örgütün ideolojisini takip eden, bu amaçla terör faaliyetlerini hayata geçiren; fakat bunları yaparken merkezden emir alma ihtiyacı duymayan yapılardır. Hiyerarşik yapıları yok etmek için kullanılan geleneksel yöntemler, merkezsiz örgütlerle mücadelede yeterli olmayacaktır. Hücre yapılanması kuvvetli olan bir terör örgütünün lideri etkisiz hale getirilse bile örgüt, eylemlerine devam edebilecektir. Terör hücreleri, birbirleri ile bağlantıya geçebildikleri sürece faaliyetlerini sürdürebilir. Hücre tipi yapılanmalar, toplum içerisinde terörist kimliğini saklayarak, oldukça sıradan görünmeye çalışan terör örgütü mensuplarından oluşmaktadır. Bu tip örgüt üyelerini tespit etmek oldukça zordur. Sosyal ağ analizi yöntemleri ile örtülü örgüt ağı ortaya çıkartılabilir. Örgüt, aktörler arasındaki iletişimin ortadan kaldırılmasıyla faaliyetlerini yapamaz hale getirilebilir. Doğru aktörlerin etkisiz hale getirilmesi, örgütü felç duruma sokacaktır.

The Political Economy of American Exchange Rate Bill Voting: From the Perspective of RMB Appreciation

Abstract Under the theoretical framework of international trade political economy, this paper examines whether interest groups can dominate the voting of the US Exchange Rate Manipulation Act in 2015 from the perspective of RMB appreciation. Taking 100 senators as samples, this paper makes model estimation by using Full Information Maximum Likelihood Method (FIML), and quantitatively investigates the deep-seated driving factors behind the voting results of the US Exchange Rate Manipulation Act. The empirical results show that the influence of political donations from different interest groups on the voting behavior of parliamentarians is different. The political donations from American labor organization significantly affect the voting behavior of parliamentarians, but business groups and ideological organizations do not play a significant role in the voting results. In addition, senators’ personal characteristics affect the political donation of the bill to a certain extent, but do not affect the voting results. In the future, China needs to continuously pay attention to the latest progress of US exchange rate policy, correctly evaluate its impact on China’s economy, and maintain communication and coordination with important US interest groups to reduce the negative impact on related industries in China.

Compact Cases as a Tool to Increase Doctor's Patient Orientation

Modern medicine is actively embarking on the path of introducing a patient-centered approach. The ideology of a medical organization and its mission should be aimed not just at the "impersonal" provision of services, but at high-quality treatment and a trusting psychological atmosphere. The use of compact cases in the training of medical workers allows them to develop the skills of critical analysis of a problem situation, determine effective patterns of their behavior in the proposed conditions, and communication skills. In the future, this will help them to implement a patient-centered approach in practice.

The role of reference points and organizational identity in strategic adaptation to performance feedback

PurposeThis study aims to elucidate reference points and organizational identity in letters to shareholders (LTSs) of publishing companies and develops propositions on their relation to strategic adaptation. This study examines how characteristics of reference points (number, temporality and specificity) and organizational identity (focus, discontinuity and distinctiveness) relate to strategic adaptation. This research advances performance feedback theory and behavioral strategy by presenting rich data on how managers use reference points. This study also theorizes on the role of organizational identity as an observation frame. Finally, this study informs managers on how they can adapt reference points and organizational identity to drive strategic adaptation in their organizations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses text analysis of LTSs of eight companies in the global publishing industry over six years. The research design is an exploratory, comparative case study.FindingsThe authors present the findings of rich empirical data analysis of reference points and organizational ideology, develop a typology and propose three proposed relationships. This paper develops three propositions on how characteristics of reference points (number, temporality and specificity) and organizational identity (focus, discontinuity and distinctiveness) relate to strategic adaptation.Originality/valueThis study elucidates reference points that managers use when they make sense of performance feedback. This study further develops a typology of reference points and suggests propositions on how reference points and organizational identity relate to strategic adaptation. The novel linguistic approach to revealing reference points-in-use and the study of decision-making in its empirical context contribute to a better understanding of the micromechanims of decision-making that are central to behavioral strategy.

Теневая президентская кампания в США

Participants in the shadow 2020 presidential campaign openly admitted to forming a secret conspiracy alliance against candidate Trump and funding actions that violate existing electoral laws. The author analyzes the term «shadow campaign«, as well as the real goals of the shadow campaign of 2020. The article shows that the Democratic Party is gradually losing significant segments of its social base and is taking extraordinary measures to win the support of new population groups, in particular «the new American majority«. A third political force, distinct from the two leading parties, has realized that the Democrats can win elections only by seizing control over the electoral process and reformatting their electorate. A third political force has assumed a mandate to correct the electoral system under the pretext of saving democracy. In the context of the epidemic, the shadow campaign of 2020 with money from private business has imposed new rules and methods of work in the election campaign with money from private capital. There was actually an act of privatization of elections by big business. The article analyzes, using the example of the state of Wisconsin, a number of actions of the shadow campaign that went beyond the framework of the current electoral laws. The Wisconsin case study shows that left-wing organizations have carried out a historically unprecedented takeover of county election commissions by activists from nominally non-partisan but overtly ideological organizations in key counties amid the chaos caused by the abrupt shift to absentee voting. The mechanism of the destructive influence of oligarchs and activists on the institution of elections in Wisconsin is described: the issuance of grants under the conditions of changing the rules of elections, party bias in the issuance of private grants, the weakening of the system of control over the quality of voting, the infiltration of election commissions by political activists, the admission to vote of persons who do not have the right to vote. The shadow campaign was operating to seize control over the elections, but this has nothing to do with saving democracy.
