Abstract

Bu makale, Hıristiyan Siyonizminin Amerika’nın dış politikasında İsrail’e desteği ve İsrail-Filistin çatışması üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Hamas tarafından gerçekleştirilen Aksa Tufanı operasyonu ve ardından İsrail tarafından Filistinlilere yönelik uygulanan şiddet, Siyonizm kavramını yeniden uluslararası toplumun gündemine getirmiştir. Amerika’da oldukça etkili bir konumda olan İsrail lobisinin önemli bir parçası olarak değerlendirilebilecek olan Hıristiyan Siyonistler, ABD’nin İsrail’e yönelik politikasını da destekleyen teolojik inançlarını dispensasyonalizm ile temellendirmektedir. Hıristiyan Siyonistler, ABD politikasında belirli bir güce sahip olmalarına rağmen bu güçleri sınırsız değildir. İki devletli çözüme karşı olmalarına ve Oslo Anlaşmaları ve Wye Nehri Memorandumu gibi barış girişimlerini engellemeye yönelik çabalarına rağmen, ABD yönetiminin Hıristiyan Siyonistlerin taleplerine zıt politikalar izlediği de görülmüştür. Bu araştırma, Hıristiyan Siyonizminin bir komplo teorisi değil, ABD'nin İsrail'e desteğini şekillendiren önemli faktörler arasında olduğunu ve bu akımın teolojik motivasyonlardan kaynaklandığını öne sürmektedir. Çalışma, İsrail’i destekleyen aktör ve grupların sahip olduğu geniş etki ağını anlamak için daha geniş kapsamlı araştırmalar yapılması gerektiğini vurgularken, İncil'in Anglo-Amerikan kültür hayatı üzerindeki etkisinin, insan hakları ihlallerine rağmen, İsrail'e destek sağlamaya devam edeceğini öngörmektedir.

Understanding the USA’s Support for Israel within the Context of Christian Zionism

Abstract

This article explores the impact of Christian Zionism on American foreign policy towards Israel and its implications for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Highlighting the recent Al-Aqsa Flood operation led by Hamas and the subsequent violence inflicted by Israel, the study reveals how these events have renewed international scrutiny of Zionism and its influence. Christian Zionists, integral to the broader pro-Israeli lobby in the USA, leverage their theological beliefs, rooted in dispensationalist interpretations, to support Israeli policies. Their influence, though significant, is not without limits. Despite their opposition to a two-state solution and efforts to block peace initiatives like the Oslo Accords and the Wye River Memorandum, the USA administration has occasionally pursued policies contrary to their wishes. This article argues that Christian Zionism is not a conspiracy theory but a substantial factor in shaping the USA support for Israel, driven by theological motivations rather than genuine affection for Jewish people. The study emphasizes the need for further research to understand the broader network of pro-Israeli actors and concludes that the Bible's influence on Anglo-American culture will likely continue to support Israel, despite its human rights violations.
