neutral  Akiva Brest (X): The land of Israel has definite borders. the state of Israel has changing border. In the Torah the borders of the Land of Israel are very clearly defined. (Numbers: 34:1-15)

  -> But not everyone who refers to Eretz Israel has the torah borders in mind

agree  Eynati: Akiva's comment derives from a dogmatic agenda.
