Understanding Israel Geo-Politically
EZEKIEL 36:6-9
"Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. 9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:"
The term geo-political is a term first used to describe the foreign policy of Germany from 1934 - 1945 and articulated as a rationale for expansionism .. the autocratic ideology coming out of Germany claimed due to economic and political needs and forecasted needs the the empire was compelled to conquer other countries. Ironically this same term is used to describe 2014 on a "macro level" and in the purest sense of the term geo-political which is to react, to make foreign policy in response to a countries geographical location, political framework, economic frame work and demography. The actual implementation of foreign policy will be executed using detailed intelligent "micro level" considerations.
In 2014 Israel will have to make tough decisions and foreign policy regarding their geographical location with enemies directly to their northern border, enemies directly to their eastern border, enemies directly to their southern border and the Mediterranean sea to the west..no where to retreat thus Israel will make a decision factoring in their geography. Politically the functioning 12 political parties with seats in the Knesset many smaller parties not having seats in the Knesset all have their benchmarks regarding what they think Israel should be and will have to find compromise due to the severity of Israel's risk assessment regarding national security and will react politically. The secularist Likud Party, the centrist Kadima Party and the very Orthodox Torah Judaism Party are 3 of 12 seated parties struggling to implement their agendas. Economically Israel will move to protect their economy and will factor in this variable when making decisions in 2014. The United Nations ranks Israel No. 16 of 187 countries using a measurement of Human Development Index (HDI) meaning Israel is considered a "highly developed economy" due to a market economy strategy where prices respond to supply and demand. Israel has worked hard to develop industries such as High-Tech, Diamond Cutting, Petroleum, Natural Gas, Semi-conductor, Tourism and Telecommunications and will do everything to protect their advancement. These achievements did not come easily. Demograhically Israel will make decisions to protect core large segments of their society such as the elderly, children, business community, academia, highly educated, medical community, technology, military and all groups that are core to Israel's prosperity.
Judaism is a peaceful belief system and honors life. For this reason adversaries abuse this tenet of Judaism placing Israel's back against the wall as does uneducated or unrealistic foreign policy. Judaism for the most part excluding Charedim only believes in just wars or defending the nation against destruction. Unfortunately Israel because of its basis in Judaism shows restraint to the detriment of its citizens.
Israel makes decisions geo-politically as a result of their calculations regarding the four aspects of geo-politics.
Chinese Version
以西結書 36:6-9 「所以你要向以色列地發預言,對大山、小山、河流、山谷說,主耶和華如此說:看哪,我是在嫉妒和憤怒中說的,因為你們7 因此,主耶和華舉起手來,你們四圍的外邦人必承受他們的羞辱。 地緣政治一詞最初用於描述 1934 年至 1945 年德國的外交政策,並被闡明為擴張主義的理由。 。諷刺的是,這個詞在「宏觀層面」上被用來描述 2014 年,在地緣政治這個詞的最純粹意義上,它是根據一個國家的地理位置、政治框架、經濟框架和人口統計。外交政策的實際執行將使用詳細的智慧「微觀層面」考量來執行。 2014年,以色列將不得不就其地理位置做出艱難的決定和外交政策,敵人直接到達其北部邊界,敵人直接到達其東部邊界,敵人直接到達其南部邊界,以及地中海西部......無處可退因此,以色列將根據其地理位置做出決定。在政治上,在議會中擁有席位的12 個正在運作的政黨,許多在議會中沒有席位的小政黨都有自己的基準,認為以色列應該是什麼樣子,並且由於以色列對國家安全和意願的風險評估的嚴重性,他們必須找到妥協。世俗主義的利庫德集團、中間派的前進黨和正統的托拉猶太教黨是 12 個在位政黨中努力實現其議程的三個。在經濟上,以色列將採取行動保護其經濟,並將在2014 年做出決策時考慮此變數。這意味著以色列被視為「高度發展的經濟體」 「由於市場經濟策略,價格對供需做出反應。以色列致力於發展高科技、鑽石切割、石油、天然氣、半導體、旅遊和電信等產業,並將竭盡全力保護其進步。這些成就來得並不容易。從人口角度來看,以色列將做出決定來保護其社會的核心群體,如老年人、兒童、商業界、學術界、高等教育界、醫學界、技術界、軍隊以及所有對以色列繁榮至關重要的群體。 猶太教是一個和平的信仰體系,尊重生命。基於這個原因,對手濫用猶太教的這條信條,將以色列推到牆邊,就像沒有受過教育或不切實際的外交政策一樣。除查雷迪姆外,猶太教大部分只相信正義戰爭或保衛國家免受破壞。不幸的是,以色列因其猶太教的基礎而表現出克制,這損害了其公民的利益。 以色列的地緣政治決策是基於地緣政治四個面向的盤算。
