Oh, Gaza's not part of Eretz Yisrael? How about Cypress?




I keep hearing people saying, "but Gaza isn't even part of Eretz Yisrael" - both from Hareidi and not-as-outwardly religious friends. Now, I am not going to go into all the historical ties we have with Gush Katif (which are far deeper then our ties to Tel Aviv - not to rag on Tel Aviv, but just to use it as a straw man) - but I would like to just wonder out loud what people think God is talking about when He describes our borders to our forefathers.

I saw an interesting book two Shabbatot ago at Rabbi Yoel Rackovsky's house which delineates the differing opinions as to the borders of Eretz Yisrael. One of the minimalist views is shown in the picture above - but one view held that the entire Latitudinal height of Eretz Yisrael carried forth to the West (I guess until the Yam HaGadol - Atlantic), including chunks of Greece, Turkey, Italy and Spain (not to mention Cypress).

Can't wait to show up on all the google searches for "Neo-Zionist Expansionism"
