A Eretz-Israel e a questão árabe-palestina: um breve estudo da estrutura social conflitiva árabe-israelense no Oriente Médio

Abstract

This study is an exploratory research in which the phenomenon explored is the persistent continuity of the Arab-Israeli conflict throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. For this, an analysis-level approach is used, where it enters into three different dimensions of research. These dimensions are explored using the language and analytical tools of constructivism, starting from the premise that the phenomenon is a conflicting social structure, socially constructed through a process of social interaction. The study of this social interaction process, therefore, deals with the level of structural analysis, where the structure of the conflict is studied, taking into account the way the actors interacted during the time. However, while this level of analysis provides considerable information, it does not answer questions such as "why" palestinians arab have repeatedly refused peace despite the Israelis' positive efforts. Thus, the study enters the level of societal/domestic analysis to try to understand the societal aspects of Palestinian society and the formation of the identity of political and terrorist groups within this political concept called “State of Palestine”, in order to try to understand, how these societal and ideational aspects influence the conflict process and dynamics. Subsidiarily, at the level of supra-state analysis, the UN posture during the conflict is analyzed, this taking into account the theoretical idea that International Organizations, supposedly, are important agents of transmission of the norms of international society for the modeling of state policies and for international order and justice. However, what the facts show is that the UN with its condescension and injustices has not contributed to the transformation of a conflictive social structure into a cooperative and peaceful social structure in the Arab-Israeli case.
