Event Details

This document page contains the beginning of a Stratfor article titled 'The Geopolitics of Israel: Biblical and Modern.' It outlines the theory that geography determines national behavior and proposes analyzing Israel's foreign policy across its three historical manifestations (two ancient, one modern) to find common principles. The text details the first historical manifestation beginning with Joshua and the second beginning with the Persian defeat of the Babylonians in 540 B.C.
