The Geopolitics of Israel: Biblical and Modern

STRATFOR has developed an interesting geopolitical profile that focuses on Israel. The profile focus is interesting because it does not begin with the birth of modern Israel in 1948. STRATFOR looks at Israel’s geopolitical position that stretches back 3,000 years from the days the Twelve Hebrew Tribes under the guidance of Yahweh-God being the one true God that made the Hebrew people the nation of Israel in the Promised Land.
One thing you should note in reading the STRATFOR profile there is no mention of a homeland of people that could be known as Palestinians in a geographical and political sense. Well not in the sense that an Arabic tribe existed that could call itself Palestinian.
The STRATFOR profile below was emailed in its entirety that included a link to the view the email as a webpage. I am uncertain how long that link will exist but I will use it as a reference for as long as it will last.

Lebanon to Become Hezbollahstan?

Lebanon’s President has ousted Prime Minister Saada Hariri who happens to a son of the assassinated Prime Minister Rafik Hariri which started the Cedar Revolution that ousted Syria from controlling Lebanon. The move is seen as a Hezbollah conspiracy to slow down the UN investigation that has secretly (at least to date) indicted persons of interest in the Rafik Hariri assassination. Further Hezbollah culpability is in the fact that Najib Mikati has been designated as Prime Minister who has been supported by Hezbollah.
There is speculation that there is a big dog Muslim named in the indictment. That would be fearless leader Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran. Frankly I amazed that something under UN auspices would take aim at a power dog like Khamenei so we will see what happens with that.
I cross posted with an article from Sister Toldjah in which Michael Totten is quoted as guessing that a Hezbollah controlled government opens Lebanon to be held responsible as a nation for the terrorist acts of Hezbollah. Accountable responsibility could lead Israel to invade all of Lebanon rather than the Hezbollah missile controlled areas of southern Lebanon. This time might a part of an Iranian agenda to incite war in the region to acquire a stranglehold on the global oil market.

“Thirty-five years ago this month, my home was bombed”
As we celebrate Thanksgiving in this land of abundance, we reflect back on all the blessings we have in our lives. For me every Thanksgiving has special significance because it was at the end of November, 1975 that my life was changed forever.
Recently, I showed some friends a video that my husband, a journalist I met in Israel, made about my life to introduce me during our wedding ceremony in America in 1987. My friends said: “Brigitte you should show this, so people can see what you talk about in your book.”

This video was done 23 years ago, before I came to America, well before realizing my mission in life and well before starting ACT! for America. In this video, you will see my home, my parents, and scenes of my life during the war, shot with my mother and my cousin depicting my experience in the very bomb shelter I lived in.
When people ask me why I am so passionate about fighting the threat of radical Islam, and why I am so thankful for America, this is why.
Always devoted,
Brigitte Gabriel
President, ACT! for America
