Israel swallows UN, EU and Arab propaganda on Judea and Samaria

By David Singer - posted Monday, 6 December 2021

Israel's territory only encompassed about 17% - not 78% - of the Mandate Area. The remaining 83% comprised Jordan (78%) and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and the Gaza Strip (5%).

Using the stand-alone term "West Bank" expunges recognition of that territory's Jewish identity as "Judea and Samaria" - part of the Jewish People's ancient biblical and historic homeland.

Words count.

Israel's Foreign Ministry needs to correct these monumental gaffes.
