Uganda
The חתם סופר על
התורה (Parshas ויחי P 245) quotes the כוזרי who says that לעתיד לבא (in
the very near future) מצרים will be part of ארץ ישראל.
At the ברית בין הבתרים, Hashem promised the land to Avraham Avinu
extending the border all the way to נהר מצרים
The תרגום ירושלמי & the תרגום המיוחס לר' יונתן בן עוזיאל translate
מנהר מצרים - מנילוס מצרים (Breishis 15-18) The Ibn Ezra, Rashi &
others agree with the Targum. The border of Eretz Yisroel will extend all
the way to the Nile. A
If ארץ ישראל will border the entire length of נהר מצרים/ Nile (4000
miles) then Uganda will also be part of ארץ ישראל.
*Perhaps Herzel
wasn't so wrong for willing to settle the State of Israel in Uganda.
The רדב"ז and other Rishonim argue and claim נהר מצרים can't be the
Nile. (They seem to hold נהר מצרים is possibly The Gulf of Suez) B
* Those without a sense of humor need not get excited it's
only a joke.
