I understand what you are saying and totally agree with you that areas like the "West Bank" and the "Gaza Strip" in all rights should be part of Israel and we like to think of them as still Israel, however Israel was coerced into ceding in so called peace treaties, these areas to control of the Arabs who call themselves the Palestinians. The terrible reality is that there ARE border checkpoints into and out them.
Well, that’s correct from an historical standpoint.
As far as the name “West Bank”, that is still a concoction and a misnomer for Judea-Samaria. Wikipedia is these days saying Bethlehem is “a Palestinian city” in “the central West Bank, Palestine”, lending credence to the lie (they locked their article on the city from editing, to boot). After all, the Orthodox Church could not sell its property to Israel if it were not in Israel.
The reality is that the Palestinians have their own land, called Jordan.
I do accept the account of the giving up of the land areas.
