This book examines the pivotal role of television and social media in shaping public consciousness during the Israeli-Arab conflict, with a focus on the wars from 1967 to 1991. It explores how televised representations embed a traumatic-nostalgic dimension, influencing collective memory and perception. By analyzing the mechanisms through which media constructs and processes these memories, the book reveals how television serves both as a chronicler of trauma and a tool for its resolution. Key concepts include the construction of televised memory, the interplay between trauma and nostalgia, and the media's role in shaping public consciousness. The book addresses critical questions such as: How does television influence the collective memory of war? In what ways does it attempt to heal or perpetuate trauma? Through expert analysis, the author uncover the intricate processes by which media narratives are crafted and disseminated, offering insights into the persistent impact of televised war memories on Israeli society. This book is essential for scholars of media studies, historians, and anyone interested in the dynamics of memory and trauma. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how media platforms shape historical narratives and influence societal perceptions, making it a valuable resource for academics and practitioners alike.
