EPQ

•

do you have any ideas of what question/thesis statement you will use? feels like an obvious question but i know for AQA, they like to see you modify your titles and think up multiple questions before deciding on the final one

•

try and find academic/scholarly articles on the history of the conflict and genocide. some good ones to start could be Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, and i think they even wrote a book together on the history of palestine and israeli occupation. sites like Jstor and google scholar are great for finding articles you can cite. PLUS check which kind of referencing you need (eg. harvard referencing style)

•

you could talk about how, unlike any genocide in history, this one is being witnessed through social media, and how social media both allows palestinian journalists facing heavy censorship and zionist influencers to spread very different messages to a global audience

•

you could talk about the boycotts of major companies like coca cola, mcdonalds and starbucks and use more statistics related to their recent company declines as an example of global resistance to israeli occupation/settlements and violence

•

you could talk about the use of passive and active voice in news articles, eg. the difference between the use of passive voice in the new york times vs. the active voice in an al jazeera article describing the same event. similarly, you could talk about the varying coverage of the hostage situation, especially the different perspectives over the "rescue" of 4 israeli hostages that was reportedly a cover-up for the killing of 200+ palestinians in a refugee camp
