I also look at the Iranian and Israeli narratives and compare the religious, historical, ideological and psycho-political underpinnings that reveal significant similarities between these two superficially diametrically opposed states, and ultimately shaped the complex and misunderstood relationship between the two countries.application/pdfengIranIsraelIran-Iraq WarIranian RevolutionPalestineKhomeniKhoumaniRuhollah KhomeiniZionismthesis2011-02-16
