Abstract

Social media, especially Instagram, has become an important space for discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict while also triggering the spread of hate speech. This study aims to identify the types of speech acts in hate speech on the Middle East Eye Instagram account and the factors contributing to the emergence of hate speech. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were analyzed using Searle's Speech Act Theory (1969) and Tajfel & Turner's Social Identity Theory (1979). The results of the study indicate that hate speech is dominated by assertive speech acts, followed by expressive and directive speech acts, lnwhile commissive and declarative speech acts were not found. The primary triggers for hate speech are hatred toward outgroups, followed by perceived threats and moral justification. This study confirms that hate speech is not merely an emotional outburst but a strategy to strengthen group identity and delegitimize opponents.
