Abstract

The Zionist regime as an exceptional entity in the Middle East; It has used certain approaches and strategies in its foreign policy. Strategies such as increasing strategic depth, expanding the scope of wars and the approach of creating war in war, significant disregard for international and human rights and norms in foreign and military policies, accumulation of nuclear weapons, preemptive war, etc.; Among the cases that express exceptionalism in Israel's foreign policy, following the exceptionality of the existence of this regime. Accordingly, the main question is What effect has the psychological characteristics of Jews and their ghetto way of life in the host societies and finally the life of Zionists in a big ghetto called Israel had on the crazy actions of Israel's foreign policy? To answer this question, by analyzing what the ghetto is and its effect on the collective psyche of the Jews, by using the concepts of collective psychology and concepts such as the shadow in Jung's psychology, we propose the hypothesis that: the ghetto lifestyle and the specific psychological characteristics of the Jews, lead to the cultivation of a It has become a political monster in the collective psyche of their masses, which in the first stage led to the birth of Zionism and the formation of Israel, and in the next stage, led to the adoption of specific and insane foreign policies by the various ruling governments in Israel, in such a way that even in some cases, the opposition of its supporters has followed.
