Abstract: Conflict between
Israel and Palestine still become the hot issue that all media covering on it.
But the information flow about the conflict is dominated by Western Media. The
domination followed by Western Media’s effort to manipulate the information.
For example, Western Media called Palestine as a dispute land; meanwhile if we
look at the history it was the Israel colonized Palestine.
There are several alternative point of view about the conflict. One of
the alternative point offered by Joe Sacco, an US comic writer. Sacco offers
the stories from fact that often forgotten by the Western Media. This research
discuss about Footnotes in Gaza, one of Sacco’s comic. Footnotes in Gaza based
on Sacco’s investigation about Khan Younis and Rafah incident in 1956, when the
the Palestine civilian were being killed by Israeli soldiers.
This research use Sara Mills’ positioning the subject-object as the
methods. In The Footnotes in Gaza, clearly seen that the position of the
narrator (the subject) is always held by the victims (the Palestinians), while
the object is the Israeli with all their act of violence.
