1. The Influence of Presumed Media Influence on Democratic Legitimacy: The Case of Gaza Settlers.

Abstract

This paper examines the notion that perceptions of influence of biased media coverage may indirectly lead to the willingness to resort to violent protest. The idea is tested on a sample of Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip and their reactions to the Likud Party members' referendum on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan. The disengagement plan was proposed as a response to increasing international pressure to advance the peace process, and due to the government's conviction that no deal was possible with the Palestinian leadership.

Abstract

In this article, the authors examine the consequences of the hostile-media phenomenon and advance the argument that people's perceptions of hostile coverage shape their trust in mainstream media institutions. Media trust in turn affects trust in democracy and willingness to accept democratic decisions. These ideas are tested on a sample of Jewish Settlers in the Gaza Strip, in the weeks before a Likud Party vote on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip and evacuate settlers from their homes. Findings show that hostile media perceptions were negatively related to settlers' trust in media and that trust in media was positively related to trust in democracy, which, in turn, affected settlers' intentions to forcefully resist Sharon's evacuation plan. No direct association was found between hostile media perceptions and intentions to forcefully resist evacuation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
