Özet:

 The war in Gaza, which started with the attacks of Hamas on October 7, 2023, and continued with the disproportionate use of force by Israel, has reached frightening levels. Although protests took place in many Western cities, mainly with the participation of immigrants, it can be said that the Western public generally remained indifferent to the brutality caused by Israel in Gaza. This article aims to examine and try to understand the attitudes of the Quakers, as a religious group with an exceptional stance, towards the Israel-Palestine War in particular and war-violence in general. In accordance with this purpose, the article will first give a general introduction about the Quakers and its founder, George Fox, and then analyze the Quakers understanding of Inner Light and Peace Testimony principles. Finally, the article will try to ground the argument of the exceptionality of the Quakers within Western civilization by focusing on the actual attitudes and activities of the Quakers regarding the war in question for nearly a century.

 7 Ekim 2023te Hamasın saldırılarıyla başlayan, İsrailin orantısız güç kullanımıyla süren Gazzedeki savaş ürkütücü seviyelere ulaşmıştır. Birçok Batılı kentte ağırlıklı olarak göçmenlerin katılımıyla protesto eylemleri vuku bulsa da genel olarak Batı kamuoyunun İsrailin Gazzede yarattığı vahşete ilgisiz kaldığı söylenebilir. Bu makale, istisnai bir duruş sergileyen bir dinî grup olarak Kuveykırların özel olarak İsrail-Filistin Savaşı, genel olarak da savaş-şiddet karşısındaki tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlamakta ve anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Buna uygun olarak, önce Kuveykırlık ve kurucu ismi olan George Fox hakkında genel bir giriş yapacak, sonra Kuveykırların İçsel Işık anlayışları ve Barış Şahitliği prensiplerini analiz edecektir. Son olarak da Kuveykırların sözkonusu savaşla ilgili yaklaşık yüz yıllık faaliyetlerine odaklanarak Batı uygarlığı içinde Kuveykırlığın, konuya dair istisnaîliği argümanını temellendirmeye çalışacaktır.
