2023 Gazze Savaşı’nın Ardından Uluslararası Sistemde Duygusal Dönüşüm: İsrail Söyleminin Zayıflaması ve Filistin Direnişinin Yükselişi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2023 Gazze Savaşı sonrasında uluslararası sistemdeki duygusal dönüşümü inceleyerek İsrail anlatısının zayıflaması ve Filistin direnişinin küresel sembolik ve etik bir aktör olarak yükselişine odaklanmaktadır. Araştırma, savaşın uluslararası duygusal dinamikleri yeniden şekillendirerek “mağduriyet” anlatısına dayalı İsrail’in sembolik egemenliğini çözdüğünü ve Filistin direnişini anlam ve adaletin meşru taşıyıcısı olarak yeniden konumlandırdığını varsaymaktadır. Çalışma, kolektif duyguların meşruiyet ve kimlik üretimini analiz etmek için yapısalcı–duygusal bir çerçeve kullanmaktadır. Veri toplama, ders kitapları, akademik makaleler, hükümet raporları ve internet materyalleri gibi ikincil kaynaklardan yapılmış ve içerik analizi ile küresel algıyı şekillendiren temel semboller ve duygusal mesajlar belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, Filistinlilere yönelik küresel empatiyi artırmış, İsrail’in sembolik egemenliğinin zayıfladığını göstermiş ve duygusal ile etik gücün çağdaş uluslararası meşruiyetteki merkezi rolünü vurgulamaktadır.

The Emotional Turn in the International System after the 2023 Gaza War: The Decline of the Israeli Narrative and the Rise of Palestinian Resistance

Abstract

This research examines the emotional turn in the international system following the 2023 Gaza War, focusing on the decline of the Israeli narrative and the rise of Palestinian resistance as a global symbolic and ethical actor. Using a constructivist–emotional framework, the study analyzes how collective emotions generate legitimacy and identity. Data were collected from secondary sources, including textbooks, journal articles, government reports, and internet materials, and content analysis was applied to identify key symbols and affective messages shaping global perception. Findings reveal a global shift in empathy toward Palestinians, highlighting the erosion of Israeli symbolic dominance and the central role of affective and ethical power in contemporary international legitimacy.
