Researchers have introduced AraHopeCorpus, the first dataset designed to identify and analyze 'hope speech' within Arabic social media during crises. The corpus, derived from over ten thousand YouTube comments related to the 2023-2024 war on Gaza, reveals that hopeful language constitutes the majority of discourse. This hopeful content primarily manifests as religious encouragement, expressions of solidarity, and optimism for justice. The dataset will be made available for research to facilitate studies on constructive digital communication and resilience. AI
