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.
“House bill calls for US to refer officially to ‘Judea, Samaria,’ not ‘West Bank,’” JNS, March 3, 2024:
A new bill in Congress aims to stress the holiness and ancient Jewish history of the Holy Land.
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.). 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….
The Progressive Leftist base wants Israel eliminated and the Jews exterminated. Lets just be honest here. Progressives think they can align themselves with Hamas and Hezbollah and Qassam. In reality these Islamic groups use progressives politically and would slaughter progressives in their own countries. Islam sees progressives as useful idiots. And they are useful idiots.
Good.
Words do matter.
“Judea is a Greek and Roman adaptation of the name “Judah,” which originally encompassed the territory of the Israelite tribe of that name and later of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. The earliest known record of the name Judah is from the Nimrud Tablet K.3751, dated c. 733 BCE.0 The Kingdom of Judah, founded in 934 BCE, ruled the lands from Jerusalem to Beersheba until its conquest in 586 BCE by the Neo-Babylonians.1”
I remember that story in the Bible, ‘The Good West Bankian’.
Damned Neo-Babylonian settler colonists!
New York congresswoman. What do you expect?
Hint: The Jooz don’t care about Israel. They have Christians to do it for them.
maps that predate Koran.. tell you all you need to know.
Just goes to show you, it ain’t Virginia, it’s Wincondacoa!
He did not of course cede the territory to Israel, and "Palestinian" statelessness added to Israeli headaches.
Judea and Samaria. Good. Official annexation to Israel should be next. And also Gaza.
We had a Great Western Bank in Arizona while I was growing up. They did away with that.
Let’s see what the old map looked like before 1950.
What a load of bovine excrement. You speak of the Jews as though they were a homogeneous group, which they are not. The Orthodox Jews are almost exclusively conservative and pro-Israel. And Trump. If you are that ignorant, best to keep your nasty mouth shut and don't advertise it.
” Official annexation to Israel should be next. And also Gaza.”
That means the end of Israel as a Jewish state. Do that and Judaism is no longer the majority religion.
75% vote for the rats. Does orthodox matter?
U R funny.
The Orthodox contingent of Jews do not generally vote for libtards. They are conservative. And your figure is outdated. U R not funny. In the least.
Bring it up to 50% and I’ll take you seriously. Jooz are Jooz.
Thank you. There’s a lot of Freepers saying these things. As a Jew, I don’t appreciate it. This year I believe everyone is going to be surprised by the change in voting pattern.
Surprised? I’ll believe it when I see it.
Do you have the same collusion-proof Schiff had?
