Résumé

The phenomenon of psychological trauma has historically been defined through a spectrum of theoretical frameworks, ranging from the Freudian emphasis on the breach of the protective shield to modern neurobiological understandings of dysregulation. Within the context of the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip, trauma transcends individual clinical pathology to become a collective, systemic, and socio-political experience. This report investigates the psychological burden imposed on the Gazan population, focusing on the mechanisms through which extreme violence, displacement, and dehumanization catalyze a "Generation of Resistance." By synthesizing the trauma theories of Sandor Ferenczi with the indigenous Palestinian concept of Sumud, the analysis elucidates how the collapse of the self under genocidal conditions fosters a militant collective agency. The research addresses the somatic inscriptions of war, the impact of "scholasticide" on childhood development, and the role of digital media in mediating secondary trauma. Findings suggest that the systematic attempt to "melt consciousness" through violence paradoxically reinforces a resistance-oriented identity, as the subjects reclaim agency through defensive struggle , , , ,
