Whups, mundane political content of a sensitive nature here! Probably
not best served here. Wouldn't be prudent... ;-)... (Sorry to quote
Daddy instead of the current incarnation, but I needed a coherent
sentence. And speaking of sensitive topics...)

Little Israel (AFAIK) is just a name given by some people to describe
Israel, possibly somewhat in terms of an underdog in comparison to
its various, mostly larger, enemies.

And as for Little Egypt, I can only say that from all accounts, she
could probably have gotten Rumpolt's homeland away from him, too, far
more easily than the Turks could.
