Same thing around the ex-island of Amsterdam: https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1K9JpabMj1Wgdjy6O41T...
Learned about that years ago when I ran into one of the maintainers on a walk. It's... not something I understand, but do respect, given that it's ancient history that is older than, well, most living people, and entirely well-intentioned and harmless to non-believers.

It's not like Israel's goal in Gaza is to extend the eruv.
Oh, bother... Fact: the Amsterdam eruv has been around longer than the state of Israel, and is in no way, shape or form related to its policies.
I thought we were extending the discussion about religion in general, not a single custom.
