West Bank ?, Really ? .. Soon you people will be calling the
Land of Israel the East Bank. Judea & Samaria is disputed territories, not
occupied. In fact, most other disputed territories around the world are not
referred to as being occupied by the party that controls them. This is true,
for example, of the hotly contested regions of Kashmir, Cyprus, and Tibet. Yet
rarely does the international community make a fuss over these territories. Occupation
typically refers to foreign control of an area that was under the previous
sovereignty of another state. In the case of the Judea & Samaria,
there was no legitimate sovereign because the territory had been illegally
occupied by Jordan from 1948 to 1967. Upon Israel’s taking control of
the area in 1967, the 1907 Hague Rules on Land Warfare and the Fourth Geneva
Convention (1949) were not considered applicable to the West Bank (Judea and
Samaria) territory, as the Kingdom of Jordan, prior to 1967, was never the
prior legal sovereign, and in any event has since renounced any claim to
sovereign rights via-a-vis the territory. Who is really the occupiers ? Jews
have a history in Judea & Samaria dating back from time immemorial. For
instance, Shechem, otherwise known as Nablus, has Jewish history dating back to
Abraham. Shechem was the first place that Abraham set foot in when he arrived
in Israel. Shechem is also the city where Jacob and his family settled after
returning from Paddam Aram. Almost all of the Arab localities in Judea &
Samaria have retained biblical Jewish names, thus betraying the true Jewish
roots in the area. According to the historian Benny Morris, in ancient
times, “The core of the Jewish state was the hill country of Judea, Samaria,
and Galilee. BTW Judea is where the name Jew comes from..
