Abstract:

 Every major historical change begins with a transformation in the conception of space. According to Schmitt, the establishment of an order based on the reconciliation of conflicts between opposing groups, from a political existence perspective, becomes possible only through placement and determining the boundaries of the political. Seizure, distribution, and production form the principles of the order and placement, shaping the actions of the political and the sovereign. This study starts from the argument that what brings Arabs and Jews into conflict is their desire to have the exclusive decision-making authority over the same territories under the claim of order and placement, and their mutual exclusion by considering each other as public enemies, leading to conflict and war. With the 1948-1967 Wars, Israel has established a connection between space and placement, moving away from being a stateless people; whereas Palestinians have started to become stateless. Another effect of the ongoing wars and conflicts has been the initiation of a process where Palestinians fight for independence and emerge as a political entity to assert sovereignty over the lands they inhabit.

 Her büyük tarihî değişiklik, mekân tasavvurundaki dönüşüm ile başlamaktadır. Schmitte göre, siyasi varoluş açısından birbirine karşıt gruplar arasındaki ihtilafların yumuşatılmasına bağlı olan düzenin sağlanması ancak yerleştirme ile siyasal olanın sınırlarının belirlenmesi yoluyla mümkün hale gelmektedir. Ele geçirme, bölüşme ve üretme ortak ilkeleri doğrultusunda sağlanan düzen ve yerleştirme siyasal olan ve egemenin eylemlerini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Araplarla Yahudileri karşı karşıya getirenin, aynı topraklar üzerinde düzen ve yerleştirme iddiasıyla nihaî belirleyici olarak karar verme tekeline sahip olmak istemelerinin ve bu amaç doğrultusunda birbirlerini kamusal düşman kabul ederek dışlamalarının çatışma ve savaşa neden olduğu savından yola çıkılmıştır. 1948-1967 Savaşları ile İsrail mekân ve yerleştirme arasındaki bağı kurarak mekânsız bir halk olmaktan çıkmış, Filistinliler ise mekânsızlaşmaya başlamıştır. Yaşanan savaş ve çatışmaların başka bir etkisi ise Filistinlilerin üzerinde yaşadıkları topraklarda egemenlik sahibi olabilmek amacıyla bağımsızlık mücadelesine giriştikleri ve siyasal bir varlık olarak ortaya çıktıkları bir süreci başlatması olmuştur.
