Gazze İşgali Gölgesinde İsrail Üzerine Bir Politik İktisat Denemesi

Öz

Fİsrail, Covid-19 salgınının ardından Ekim 2023'ten itibaren Gazze’yi uzun süreli işgal ederek savaş ekonomisini başlattı. Şimdi Filistin ve garantör devletlerle kırılgan bir ateşkes konjonktürünün yönetişimi içindedir. İsrail’in etkili ve sürdürülebilir savaş ekonomisinin kaynakları yüksek ekonomik zenginliği ve askeri gücüdür. İsrail için genellikle Orta Doğu bölgesinin ayrık otu metaforu kullanılır. Bu metaforu, ABD yapımı Büyük Orta Doğu Projesi ile İsrail’e verilen emperyalist rol pekiştirmiştir. İsrail’in Siyonizm hedefi ile kendi topraklarında adeta mülteci muamelesi gören Filistin’in sürdürülebilir intifadası sürekli çatışma halindedir ve bu durum Orta Doğu’yu bahtsız ve kalkınma özürlüsü bir coğrafya haline getirmiştir. Politik İktisat açısından İsrail’in bir tarafı Batılı normlarda sanayileşmiş, diğer tarafı ise üçüncü Dünyalıdır. Bu çelişki, İsrail’in güvenlikleştirdiği Filistin sorunu ve Gazze işgali ile bir kez daha netleşmiştir. Orta Doğu’da huzur ve istikrarın anahtarı Gazze işgalinin ve Filistin sorunun bitmesi olup bunun için de barış ekonomisinin kurulmasıdır. Barış ekonomisi, bir tarafı reel-politik, diğer tarafı politik iktisat olan bir sarkacın içinde sallantıdadır. Bu çalışmanın konusu ve amacı, Gazze’yi işgal eden İsrail’in Filistin’le barış hedefi için GZFT tekniğine göre güçlü (G), zayıf (Z), fırsatçı (F) ve tehdit (T) özelliklerini ortaya koyup bir politik iktisat tartışmasını açmaktır.

A POLITICAL ECONOMY ESSAY ON ISRAEL IN THE SHADOW OF THE GAZA OCCUPATION

Öz

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Israel launched its war economy by occupying Gaza for a long time starting in October 2023. It is now in the governance of a fragile ceasefire conjuncture with Palestine and the guarantor states. The sources of Israel's effective and sustainable war economy are its high economic wealth and military power. Israel is often referred to as the couch grass of the Middle East region. This metaphor has been reinforced by the imperialist role given to Israel with the US-made Greater Middle East Project. Israel's Zionist goal and the sustainable intifada of Palestine, which is treated as a refugee in its own land, are in constant conflict, and this has turned the Middle East into an unfortunate and development-impaired geography. In terms of political economy, one side of Israel is industrialized according to Western norms, while the other side is Third World. This contradiction has become clear once again with the Palestinian issue and the occupation of Gaza, which Israel has securitized. The key to peace and stability in the Middle East is to end the occupation of Gaza and the Palestinian issue, and to establish a peace economy for this purpose. The peace economy swings in a pendulum with one side being realpolitik and the other side being political economy. The subject and purpose of this study is to reveal the strong (W), weak (Z), opportunistic (F) and threat (T) characteristics of Israel, which occupies Gaza, for its goal of peace with Palestine according to the SWOT technique and to open a political economy discussion.
