Abstract

Background: The 2023-2024 Gaza Genocide has generated notable scholarly discourse, influenced by various historical, political, and social contexts. These academic writings, rooted in the longstanding "war of words," illustrate how language serves as a potent weapon in conflicts. The present study aimed to analyze the academic response to the 2023-2024 War on Gaza, focusing on the different perspectives, opinions, and lexical choices in scholarly articles.

Methods: A scoping review and bibliometric analysis were conducted on articles from PubMed, pertaining to the 2023-2024 War on Gaza, spanning from October 7, 2023, to October 7, 2024. PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines were used. Individual relevant papers' data were systematically extracted using a pre-tested form. Articles were categorized based on their stances as pro-Gaza, pro-Israel, or Neutral. Statistical analyses compared the bibliometric data of pro-Gaza and pro-Israel papers, identifying significant associated lexical fields. Factors explaining the different stances were uncovered.

Results: Out of 640 articles identified, 221 were included in the review. Among these, 126 (57%), pro-Gaza, 70 (31.7%), pro-Israel, and 25 (11.3%), Neutral. Pro-Gaza papers, often published in high-ranked journals with global affiliations, focused on humanitarian issues, called for a ceasefire and decried the genocide. Conversely, pro-Israel papers, often from local journals and affiliated with Israeli institutions, focused on political and psychosocial aspects, emphasizing self-defense narratives. Terms independently associated with pro-Gaza positions included "Gaza" in the title, "occupation," "genocide," "punishment," and "ceasefire." Pro-Israel papers featured "Israel" in the title, references to "October 7," and mentions of "Hamas."

Conclusion: This study highlights that academic narratives are profoundly influenced by historical contexts, media portrayal, official discourses, and the authors' socio-political environments. These findings underscore the intricate connection between scholarly discourse and the broader context of chronic occupation, revealing significant limitations in current global health strategies and highlighting the need to integrate humanitarian crises into these frameworks.

通过366天加沙战争(2023-2024)的学术出版物和观点:范围审查和文献计量分析。
背景:受各种历史、政治和社会背景的影响,2023-2024年加沙大屠杀产生了引人注目的学术论述。这些学术著作根植于长期存在的“口水战”,说明了语言如何在冲突中成为一种强有力的武器。本研究旨在分析学术界对2023-2024年加沙战争的反应,重点关注学术文章中的不同观点、观点和词汇选择。方法:对PubMed上有关2023-2024年加沙战争的文章进行范围综述和文献计量学分析,时间跨度为2023年10月7日至2024年10月7日。采用PRISMA-ScR(系统评价和荟萃分析扩展范围评价的首选报告项目)指南。使用预测试表格系统地提取了个别相关论文的数据。文章根据立场分为亲加沙、亲以色列和中立。统计分析比较了亲加沙和亲以色列论文的文献计量数据,确定了显著相关的词汇领域。揭示了解释不同立场的因素。结果:在640篇文献中,221篇纳入综述。其中,126人(57%)支持加沙,70人(31.7%)支持以色列,25人(11.3%)支持中立。支持加沙的论文通常发表在与全球有联系的高级期刊上,重点关注人道主义问题,呼吁停火并谴责种族灭绝。相反,亲以色列的论文,通常来自当地期刊和隶属于以色列机构,关注政治和社会心理方面,强调自卫叙事。与亲加沙立场独立相关的术语包括标题中的“加沙”、“占领”、“种族灭绝”、“惩罚”和“停火”。亲以色列的报纸在标题中突出了“以色列”,提到了“10月7日”,并提到了“哈马斯”。结论:本研究强调学术叙事受到历史背景、媒体描述、官方话语和作者所处社会政治环境的深刻影响。这些发现强调了学术论述与长期占领的更广泛背景之间的复杂联系,揭示了当前全球卫生战略的重大局限性,并突出了将人道主义危机纳入这些框架的必要性。
