Abstract

This study presents a textual analysis of the discourses that emerged in Mexican national newspapers and on Twitter about Donald Trump’s calls for a border wall in 2017. As the case of Israel’s border wall became entangled in this discussion, discourse in print and social media engaged in a re-evaluation of alliances and solidarities between Mexico, the Jewish-Mexican community and Israel. The findings show print and online media discourse to be remarkably consistent in terms of the voices that were elevated, the targets of criticism, and the enabling of vilifying narratives about the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.
