1. Question on Cyprus being part of Israel
Amnon Goldberg wrote:
Being that Cyprus is in the news, can you bring the exact sources for Cyprus, "The Isle of Dan", being part of the Biblical Land of Israel, and will be so in the future.

Brit-Am Reply:
Regarding Cyprus belonging to Israel in Biblical Times see:
The Land of Israel
See also the Map of the Promised Land according to Bar-Deroma
Source: Wezeh Gevul Haares
[The True Boundaries of the Holy Land According to the Sources]
by H. Bar-Deroma, Jerusalem, Israel, 1958
This map shows two different opinions.
We have chosen the maximalist opinion which is that of Bar Deroma. This opinion in our view fits the relevant criteria better than that of others. The borders we believe in are somewhat more expansive than those of Bar-Deroma on some points but on the whole we agree.
Quotes Baraita:
# All that flows forth and comes down from the Mountains of Amnon and therefrom is the Land of Israel. From there and beyond the Mountains of Amnon is Outside the Land.
Concerning the Islands in the sea, we regard them as if there is a line stretched out from Mount Amnon until the Stream of Egypt. Whatever is within the line belongs to the Land of Israel. What is from the line and beyond it, is outside the Land. Rabbi Yehudah said all that is opposite the Land of Israel is considered as the Land of Israel. #

 2. Wayne Stark: Remarks about Obama
Re Obama the Thug! Obama as an Edomite Back-Stabber
Sir Davidy. There are many in the USA who have trepidation about this current president. There has been and continues to be many occasions when he says one thing, then does another or "forgets" what it was he said. Just the budget alone is a major factor many Americans once would not have stood for. He constantly talks about reducing our deficit (infers reducing our debt also) but has increased both every year in office.
You have just cause to be cautious about this man. He does NOT represent the attitudes of millions of Americans. Neither does he protect the Constitution. He uses it to serve insider agendas and ignores the parts that he and his "colleagues" do not embrace. Example: the 2nd Amendment states Americans have a RIGHT to keep and bear arms. He has successfully convinced liberals that it is only a hunting right and the right is not a right, but a privilege.
He calls the Qur'an "holy" but references the Bible as a book. He searches it daily to make himself a better man (quote). This in no way means he takes his advice from scripture... and to what scriptures is he suggesting he takes this advice?
Yes, Israel has a RIGHT to self defense and to lay claim to all of the Promised land including putting little confidence in his words. The Promised Land is not a just a privilege exercised with his permission. It is a right!
In a sense I even have a bit of concern sending this message over the Internet; i.e. the one that is documented somewhere for future reference. Freedom of Speech? More like freedom to have an opinion but keep it to one's self.
Sorry, Yair. Now I am either venting or rambling.
