An Analysis Parameter for Israel’s Security Policy: The Old Testament

Year 2013, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 193 - 216, 15.07.2013

Abstract

This study aims at drawing the religious framework of security for Jews and laying its components through the position given by the Old Testament to Jews as the chosen people and the approach otherized the rest. In doing so, it utilizes the meaning of land, the function and the position of enemy as well as the chosenness acceptance as a tool in order to uncover the othering. It is also clarified what should be understood of the concept of security ascribed in the study, by fixing broadly its projection on the human life. And using this pattern, it is meaned to define the concept of security for Jews in the context of the religious content created by the Old Testament. The conceptualizing purposes to attract attention to the potential to be effective in making security policy because the State of Israel was declared as Jewish state, but not intends to explain Israel’s security policy via this content. The findings also present a reference body that can be used by other authors who deal with the policies made by Israel since the foundation of state

İsrail Güvenlik Politikası İçin Bir Analiz Parametresi: Eski Ahit

Year 2013, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 193 - 216, 15.07.2013

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Eski Ahit’in Yahudileri seçilmiş halk kabulü üzerinden konumlandırması
ve geri kalanları ötekileştirmesi üzerinden, dini açıdan
güvenliğin çerçevesini çizmeyi ve bu kapsamdaki bileşenlerini belirlemeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaparken, seçilmişlik kabulünün yanı sıra
toprağın anlamı, düşmanın işlevi ve konumunu, ötekileştirmeyi açığa
çıkarmak için bir yöntem olarak kullanmaktadır. Genel hatlarıyla gü-
venlik kavramının insan hayatı üzerindeki iz düşümü belirlenerek, anlatımda
atıfta bulunulan ifadeden ne anlaşılması gerektiğine de açıklık
getirilmektedir. Eski Ahit’te güvenliğe ilişkin oluşturulan kapsamdan yola çıkılarak, Yahudiler için dini bağlamda güvenlik kavramının tanımlanması
hedeflenmektedir. İsrail’in bir Yahudi devleti olarak ilan edilmesi
nedeniyle güvenlik politikası tesisinde etkili olabilme potansiyeline
sahip olduğuna dikkat çekilmekte, ancak İsrail’in güvenlik politikasının
bu içerik üzerinden açıklanması amaçlanmamaktadır. Tespitler, devletleşme
sürecinden itibaren oluşturulan güvenliğe ilişkin politikalarının
başka yazarlarca analiz edilmesi sırasında kullanılabilecek referans
manzumesi de oluşturmaktır.
