%X This research aims to unveil the meanings of visual and verbal signs, as well as the embedded ideological, cultural, and religious messages. The object of this study is memes related to Palestine, which were uploaded on the Instagram account of MintPress News. The study adopts Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, particularly examining myths through an Islamic perspective by referring to relevant verses from the Qur'an. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with eight memes selected as primary data, posted between October 2023 and March 2024. The findings reveal that each meme contains interconnected layers of denotative meaning, connotative meaning, and mythological. Visual signs such as the hijab, graves, and children symbolize suffering, resilience, and the identity of Palestinian Muslims. Verbal signs, including phrases such as "no mercy," "from genocide Joe with love," and "ban TikTok now," embody figurative elements such as irony, metonymy, and hyperbole. These signs serve as a critique of the violence experienced by the Palestinian people and expose ideological myths associated with domination, power, and injustice. This study recommends that social media users adopt a more critical stance in interpreting implicit messages within memes and highlights the importance of semiotic analysis in uncovering the ideologies and myths embedded in digital content.
