The issue of the Palestine vs Israel dispute peaked again in mid-2023. This made the whole world's eyes focused on the issue and many parties then expressed various views. This research aims to explore the differences and similarities in the reception of discourse on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict between the international community and Indonesia. The data was taken from comments on two videos uploaded by two major media outlets, namely NBC News and Liputan6, with the titles 'Inside Israel's mission to destroy Hamas tunnels in Gaza' (NBC News) and Militer Israel Tur di Reruntuhan Gaza | Liputan6' (Liputan6) on YouTube. NBC News is a well-known international media based in the United States that presents news with a Western perspective, while Liputan6 is an Indonesian media that is followed by local people with a perspective from the public. This study focuses on the social dimension of Van Dijk's discourse analysis. Comments are pulled using Communalytic and a few that have more than equal to a hundred likes. The results obtained were fourteen comments that had several likes of more than 100 likes, identified as the dominant agents in the comment column. Judging from the factors of cultural values and norms as well as ideology and social identity, each audience that commented on the NBC News and Liputan6 video shows had a different impression of Hamas and Palestinians.References
