Legal Practices of Exclusion towards Palestinian Citizens in Israel: Land Ownership
No full textIsraeli governments have systematically Judaized Palestinian land through policies that were legalized to impose their control over the land, guaranteeing Israel’s ownership of the land, to obliterate the Palestinian identity of Arab groups, by following racist strategies and imposing a legitimate nature on these practices within the concept of citizenship from a legal perspective. These laws guarantee, in the short or long term, the displacement of the Palestinian population from within, to achieve the goal of Jewish hegemony over all the lands of the State of Israel. This research aims to analyze the policy pursued by Israel towards the Palestinians residing inside Israel, from a legal perspective regarding the right to land ownership, and to reveal the legal methodology of land ownership since the establishment of the State of Israel, to impose control and exclude Arab groups from a legal perspective. This research employed a historical descriptive method, drawing on sources related to Israeli laws of land ownership and the structures on which they were based. The legal exclusion of Palestinians within the State of Israel is based on religious grounds, and the preference of Jews over Arab communities, through a methodology that aims to displace the Palestinian people in favor of the right of all Jews in the world to return to the land of Israel based on the Law of Return. In addition, the majority of these laws aim to limit the freedom of movement and ownership of Palestinians to ensure the provision of security and freedom of movement and ownership for Jews, as a systematic policy to prevent sources of threat, most of which are represented by the Palestinian presence
عملت الحكومات الإسرائيلية بطرق ممنهجة على تهويد الأرض الفلسطينية من خلال سياسات فرض سيطرتها عليها قانونيا يضمن ملكيتها للأرض بهدف طمس الهوية الفلسطينية للمجموعات العربية، وذلك باتباع استراتيجيات عنصرية ذات طابع شرعي على هذه الممارسات ضمن مفهوم المواطنة من منظور قانوني. هذه القوانين تضمن على المدى القريب أو المستقبلي تهجير السكان الفلسطينيين من الداخل، بهدف تحقيق مسألة الهيمنة اليهودية على كافة أراضي دولة اسرائيل. يهدف هذا البحث إلى تحليل السياسة التي تنتهجها إسرائيل تجاه الفلسطينيين المقيمين داخل إسرائيل، من منظور قانوني فيما يتعلق بحق ملكية الأرض، و الكشف عن المنهجية القانونية لملكية الارض منذ قيام دولة إسرائيل لفرض السيطرة وإقصاء المجموعات العربية من منظور قانوني. هذا البحث اعتمد على المنهج التاريخي الوصفي بالاعتماد على المصادر المتعلقة بالقوانين الاسرائيلية لملكية الارض و البنية التي استندت عليها. إن الإقصاء القانوني للفلسطينيين داخل دولة إسرائيل يرتكز على أساس ديني، و تفضيل اليهود على المجتمعات العربية، من خلال منهجية تهدف إلى تهجير الشعب الفلسطيني لصالح حق كل اليهود في العالم بالعودة إلى أرض إسرائيل استنادا على قانون حق العودة . بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تهدف اغلبية هذه القوانين للحد من حرية الفلسطيني في الحركة و التملك لضمان توفير الأمن وحرية الحركة والتملك لليهود، كسياسة ممنهجة في منع مصادر التهديد، والتي يتمثل معظمها في الوجود الفلسطين
Assessment of Safety Monitoring Indexes of High RCC Gravity Dams Considering Hydraulic Fracture
No full textHigh concrete gravity dams, particularly Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) types, face long-term safety challenges due to weak interlayer formation and crack propagation. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of safety monitoring indexes for the Guxian high RCC dam (currently under construction in China) using both numerical and theoretical models. A Finite Element Method (FEM) was applied with two approaches: the strength reduction method, which considers weak layers, and the overloading method, which simulates extreme loading without accounting for material degradation. A comparative analysis between these two methods was conducted to determine which more effectively evaluates dam safety under varying conditions. Additionally, a fracture mechanics model was employed to assess the impact of crack propagation on dam integrity, using the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) to calculate safety factors and the residual strength curve to determine critical crack depths. Two crack types (single-edge and centre-through) were analysed to understand the effect of crack location on structural stability during hydraulic fracture. Results indicated that weak layers reduce the safety index by approximately 20%, particularly in lower sections with extensive interlayer interfaces. The overloading method produced more conservative and realistic safety index values than the strength reduction method when weak layers were not considered. Furthermore, single-edge cracks pose a significantly higher risk, decreasing the safety factor by 10% and reducing the critical crack depth by 40% compared to center-through cracks. These findings emphasize the need to incorporate RCC dam weak layer behavior and crack propagation into the safety monitoring and design standards of high RCC gravity dams
