- 1) "And we said thereafter to the Children of Israel, 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land' " (Quran 17:104).
- 2) "O people (the Jews), enter the Holy Land, which God has assigned unto you" (Quran 5:21).
- 3) "And we said to the Children of Israel afterwards, 'scatter and live all over the world… and when the end of the world is near you will gather again into the Promised Land" (Quran 17:104).
"These quotes are pointing to the same area; it is not Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Iraq". According to al-Husseini, "The traditional Muslim commentators from the ninth century onward have uniformly interpreted the Quran as saying explicitly that Eretz Yisrael has been given by God to the Jewish people as a perpetual covenant. There is no Islamic counterclaim to the Land anywhere in the traditional corpus of commentary."

Why is Reb Saunders against the idea of Palestine becoming the homeland of the Jews?
Reb Saunders believes, like a number of Orthodox Jews, that the Galut (the Exile from the Holy Land) was a divine act of punishment because Jews had violated the commandments that God had given them. When God believed that the Jewish people had repented and were ready for the Messiah, this Messiah would come and bring the Jews back to the Holy Land. Until that time, Jews will remain in exile. They see a Return to the Holy Land as being an act of blasphemy because Jews should wait for God to bring them into the Holy Land and not to physically move there of their own free will.
