House bill introduced calling on the United States to refer officially to ‘Judea & Samaria’ (its correct name) not the Jordanian-dubbed ‘West Bank.’ “The term ‘West Bank’ is used to delegitimize Israel’s historical claim to this land,” stated Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY). Too bad the bill will die in the Senate, or if not, will be vetoed by Joe Biden.
Jihad Watch Claudia Tenney is absolutely right. The Kingdom of Jordan renamed Judea and Samaria the West Bank in 1950. The idea was to obscure the historic Jewish connection to the land. The U.S. should not legitimize this revisionism. However, this bill will die in the Senate or on Old Joe’s desk, as the Democrats don’t want to antagonize their far-left base more than they’re antagonized already.
JNS Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY). introduced the “Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act” on Feb. 29. The legislation would require all official U.S. documents and materials to reference “Judea and Samaria” rather than the “West Bank.” “The Israeli people have an undeniable and indisputable historical and legal claim over Judea and Samaria, and at this critical moment in history, the United States must reaffirm this,” Tenney stated.
The congresswoman, whose bill is cosponsored by Reps. Randy Weber (R-Texas) and Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.), said that the Biden administration was “misguided” to “revoke the Pompeo Doctrine,” a decision which “undermines our greatest ally in the Middle East.”
“This bill reaffirms Israel’s rightful claim to its territory. I remain committed to defending the integrity of the Jewish state and fully supporting Israel’s sovereignty over Judea and Samaria,” Tenney stated. The N.Y. Republican noted that the term “Judea and Samaria” dates to ancient times, to the kingdoms of Judah and Samaria.
“In 1967, after Israel’s Arab neighbors launched the Six-Day War, Israel reclaimed Judea and Samaria from Jordan. The term ‘West Bank’ is used to delegitimize Israel’s historical claim to this land,” she stated. In November 2019, then secretary of state Mike Pompeo said that Washington formally recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and Judea and Samaria.
“Recently, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reversed this position, stating the Biden administration’s disappointment in Israel’s recent decision to expand its settlements in the region,” Tenney stated. “This condemnation comes in spite of the fact that under the Oslo Accords, a bilateral agreement between Israel and Palestinian representatives, Israel was granted full military and civilian control over the majority of Judea and Samaria.”
Names dont matter its the law that say who has what and what not. once again for all to read GOD GAVE THE LAND TO THE…yep you guessed it right the JEW and only the JEW so forget all of the human bullshit and get it right, the land belongs to only one people and those people are the JEWS so no matter what you call it it belongs to the JEWS periot end of the info evening.
I pray that when Trump returns to office, he does the righteous thing and designates Judea, Samaria, AND Gaza, as he did the Golan, as Israeli land and restores what HaShem bequeathed to Abraham and his heirs.
Thats a big hope. They won’t get Gaza back because no other country will take in the Gazans.
Oh you are definetly wrong here then there is a country that will take all. My country germany is talking about importing them and our super femine foreighminister is passing out visas and the seaway that is being built will make the import easier. Mark my words and should you not believe me then take a good look at the many fakeistinian demos here. As you notice the numbers on these demos are rising fast and the new ones are not germans. Germany is so far gone that there is no saving left for us.
It’s very possible the senate will turn red this coming election cycle, couple that with a Trump win, and the bill is all but passed.
That would be amazing. I’ve always hated the term West Bank considering it’s in the central/east part of Israel.
Bonni its like people calling others names and that is not important. The important thing is that the world accepts that this land belongs to none other than the Jewish people. The name can be changed back after the acceptance so its of no importance what they call it . We know the name and the position it has and that is the important part, we do not forget and we give this knowledge to our children so that the names and places never die. As i write we are of no importance but our nations and the living free is the future for all to come. We dont count and we are the soldiers that break way.
But that’s the problem, most people don’t know the history and keep repeating the lie that it has always Arab land.
As once said the lie has run around the world three times before the truth has put on her shoes. To have and own the land is the important part then names we can give change or make up. The land is the important part and as i see it Israel is taking her land back and that is the IMPORTANT part. We and history know the true names and places and all of the lieing wont change that, maybe it will disapear for a while but it allways comes back to the beginning. Bonni we need the land and the name comes later. 800 hectar are being taken back and im tickled pink. That is the important part.
