Abstract

Sosyal bir afet olarak yeni tip bazı modern savaşlar, sadece cephe hattında değil, toplumun her alanını etkilemektedir. İsrail Savaşı, sosyal afetlerin ne kadar derin ve geniş kapsamlı etkiler bırakabileceğinin en tipik örneklerinden birini oluşturmaktadır. Modern savaşların; bireysel yaşamdan küresel istikrara kadar her alanda etkileri nesiller boyu sürebilmekte ve sosyal iyileşme süreci uzun vadeli ve karmaşık olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma İsrail Savaşının sadece askeri ve siyasi bir sorun olarak ele alınmaması gerektiğini vurgulamakta, geniş kapsamlı sosyal ve insani etkileri olan sosyal bir afet boyutunu ele ele almaktadır. Çalışma İsrail Savaşının yol açtığı; kitlesel ölümler, insani kriz, soykırım, kitlesel insan hakları ihlalleri, yerinden edilme ve acil yardım nedeniyle bu savaşı sosyal afet kapsamında değerlendirmektedir. İsrail Devleti’nin kuruluş sürecinden günümüze kadar devam ederek gelen İsrail Savaşında önemli yer edinen Nakba Olayı da bir felaketi ifade etmektedir. İsrail Devletinin kuruluşundan beri periyodik olarak Filistin’e gerçekleştirdiği saldırılar, binlerce Filistinlinin evlerini terk ederek yerinden edilmesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma, İsrail Savaşının neden olduğu Filistinli mültecilerin yaşamış olduğu sorunlara da kısaca değinmektedir.

THE ISRAEL WAR AS A SOCIAL DISASTER AND THE FORCED MIGRATION OF PALESTINIANS

Abstract

Some new types of modern wars, such as social disasters, affect not only the front lines but also every aspect of society. The Israel War represents one of the most typical examples of how deep and far-reaching the effects of social disasters can be. The impacts of modern wars can persist across generations, affecting everything from individual lives to global stability, and the process of social recovery can be long-term and complex. This study emphasizes that the Israel War should not be considered merely as a military and political issue but rather as a social disaster with extensive social and humanitarian consequences. The study evaluates the Israel War as a social disaster due to its mass casualties, humanitarian crisis, genocide, widespread human rights violations, displacement, and the need for emergency aid. The Nakba event, which holds a significant place in the ongoing Israel War since the establishment of the State of Israel, also represents a catastrophe. The periodic attacks carried out by Israel on Palestine since its founding have caused thousands of Palestinians to be displaced and forced to leave their homes. This study also briefly addresses the challenges faced by Palestinian refugees as a result of the Israel War.
