About That So-Called "West Bank"

The term “West Bank” was created as an attempt to EJECT ISRAEL from its God-given land. The term was created after the modern Jewish state was born as an attempt to delegitimize Israel and the Jews who live in it.

But a new bill in Congress seeks to force the U.S. government to stop using that illegitimate name and replace it with the area’s true and historic name of over 4,000 years — Judea and Samaria. Read on. — Mat

It’s Israel’s biblical heartland ... yet it’s now ILLEGAL for Jews to live there, or so says the Biden White House.

Worse, Biden wants to give this land — where Jews have lived for 3,500 years — to Arab Palestinians ... to fanatical Muslims whose driving passion is to annihilate the Jewish people.

But this land is where most of the major events recorded in Scripture took place! Some 90% of place names mentioned in the Bible are located here. It’s a land with a rich Jewish history where you’ll find these well-known sites:

Hebron — where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried.
Jericho — conquered by Joshua when its walls fell.
Shiloh — where Israel worshipped God at the tabernacle for 369 years.
Shechem — where Joseph is buried on land purchased by Jacob.
Bethel — traditional site of Jacob's ladder dream.
Bethlehem — birthplace of Jesus Christ.

So, what is the name of this area that lies north and south of Jerusalem and borders the Jordan River? According to the international community, the secular media, and the U.S. government, the term to use is “West Bank.”

And the reason is simple and strategic: “West Bank” — a label less than 75 years old — works wonders to ERASE Israel from its own land.

It’s a two-word lie that supports the Palestinian narrative while denying the Jewish people’s ancient link to the land God gave Abraham nearly 4,000 years ago.

But the biblical names — “Judea and Samaria” — remind one of the entire biblical story. It puts front and center the reality — based on Scripture, history, and archaeology — that Jews have lived in their land for almost four millennia.

I’m thrilled to tell you that a movement has launched to demand “truth-in-labeling” when it comes to this ancient land where Jesus walked and where so much biblical history took place. And I’m asking you to join me and other friends of Israel in making this crucial initiative a success!

It starts with demanding Congress VOTE YES on HR 7552, the Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act.

Thank you for your much-appreciated friendship. Together, let’s pray for God’s people and defend the TRUTH about the Holy Land.
