Abstract:

This study examines whether the Jewish state established in the name of the State of Israel has transformed from a search for a safe homeland to a security-minded Jewish state. In this framework, the infrastructure that includes the state’s construction essence, the state’s inspiration, the state’s living space and the state’s social composition is set forth in a way of providing a ground for founding a state that will be the security guarantee of the Jews. An analysis is conducted through this scope. The study is based on the ideas, decisions and actions of the Jewish political and military elite under the active leadership of David Ben Gurion in the construction of the state fiction. Because the study focuses on the relationship between a historical survival aspiration that is shaped by the conflict environment and the nationalization progression, it covers the immediate before and after of the foundation of the state in which the basic parameters concerning the State of Israel are determined.
