‘Judea and Samaria’ for 3,000 Years, ‘West Bank’ for 19
Peloni: The pejorative term ‘West Bank’ has been modeled around a falsely assertion that there is no association between these lands and either the Jewish State of Israel or the Jewish People when in fact the lands indicated by this malicious term are integral to the Jewish state, the Jewish people as well as their respective histories. A point which should be understood in all of this is the fact that prior to the Hashemite Kingdom having illegally seized the lands in Judea and Samaria during its illegal invasion in the 1948 War of Independence, what is termed as “the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” was actually known as ” the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan”. Notably, it was only due to the illicit Hashemite conquest of the lands of Judea and Samaria from Israel which forced the Hashemites to rename their kingdom from “Transjordan” to “Jordan”. The motivation for this renaming the entire country was hinged upon the truth which was revealed each time the “Kingdom of Transjordan” was spoken. Indeed, the word Transjordan was taken from a long recognized cartographic description exclusively referencing the region of land on the far side, trans Jordan, ie East side of the Jordan river. Hence, the name of the country Transjordan was evidence of both the fact that the Hashemites had no claim to the lands of Judes and Samaria, as well as the fabricated nature of renaming these conquered lands as the “West Bank”. So apparent was the false connection between Jordan and its ill-gotten gains during the 1948 War that nearly no one on the international field recognized Jordan’s use of the term ‘West Bank’. That is, until Israel liberated the indigenous lands of its forefathers in 1967, and a manufactured campaign was launched to imply that these lands held no connection to the Jews or the state of Israel, when the opposite was actually true going back three millennia. So, as Hugh Fitzgerald explains below, these lands were ‘Judea and Samaria’ for 3,000 Years, but ‘West Bank’ for 19.

The place name “West Bank,” although universally used today, appeared out of thin air. More on this relatively recent invention can be found here: “A 19-Year Name vs. 3,000 Years of History: Judea vs. ‘West Bank,’” by Micha Danzig, Algemeiner, May 7, 2026:
