BRIEF INSIGHT
TUM'AS ERETZ HA'AMIM
In Suriyah only the earth is Tamei but not the air while in the rest of Chutz la'Aretz both the earth and the air is Tamei. Why does the Tum'ah of the earth apply to Suriyah but not the Tum'ah of the air? The Pnei Yehoshua answers that the Tum'ah of the earth and of the air are two separate decrees for different reasons. The Chachamim decreed that the earth of Eretz ha'Amim is Tamei with Tum'as ha'Mes because of the Mesim of the Mabul and the Mesim that were killed by Nevuchadnetzar. The Mabul did not come down in Eretz Yisrael but it did come down in Suriyah and the Mesim of Nevuchadnetzar were removed from Eretz Yisrael but not from Suriyah. Therefore the decree of the Tum'ah of the earth applies to Suriyah. However, the decree of the Tum'ah of the air was to discourage us from leaving Eretz Yisrael and going to Chutz la'Aretz and this does not apply to Eretz Yisrael since our Tana holds that Suriyah has a Din of Eretz Yisrael.
QUICK HALACHAH
MATNOS ANIYIM
The rivers in Eretz Yisrael and the islands in the Yam ha'Gadol within the Techum of Eretz Yisrael have a Din of Eretz Yisrael. The islands outside of Techum of Eretz Yisrael have the Din of Chutz la'Aretz. Bavel has a Din of Eretz Yisrael with respect to Gitin. (Rambam Hilchos Gerushin 7:10)
