In 1967, after an unprovoked attack on Israel, Arab Muslims began a 58-year gaslighting campaign to erase Israeli history and steal Jewish land.

For thousands of years, the area on the western bank of the Jordan River has been known as Judea and Samaria. But after the 1967 war, Arab Muslims tried to erase these unmistakably, archeologically confirmed Jewish cities, renaming them “the West Bank” and declaring this historical Jewish area to be “Palestinian.” Even today, online encyclopedias, like Wikipedia, repeat the gaslighting, referring to Judea and Samaria as “the West Bank” and declaring these areas to be part of the “State of Palestine.”

No “State of Palestine” exists, but as Wikipedia’s inaccurate description proves, the Arab Muslims have largely succeeded in gaslighting the entire world.

The first of our proofs comes from the Bible itself. Joshua 1:1-4 clearly lays out Israel’s boundaries:

Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying, “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.”

From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun will be your territory.

In modern geography, the boundaries mentioned in Joshua 1:4 are:

• Southern Boundary: The Negev Desert.

• Northern Boundary: The region of Lebanon.

• Eastern Boundary: The eastern side of the Jordan River.

• Western Boundary: The Mediterranean Sea.

The boundaries God dictates in the Bible include the modern areas of Gaza, the Golan Heights, and Judea and Samaria.

STOP the Arab Lies! Demand Congress VOTE YES on HR 902 & S 384!

Years later, God reiterated His promise in Amos 9:15: “I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them.”

Not only did God grant these lands to Israel thousands of years before Christ and reiterate the promise in Amos, the establishment of modern Israel in 1948 continues that prophecy in the modern day.

But Arab Muslim nations hate that history. So, they devised a way to gaslight the world, hoping to claim this land as their own by renaming these ancient historical sites and hoping the world forgets Israel’s TRUE history.

The Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act of 2025 seeks to break the United States free of this Arab lie and restore the rightful Jewish names of these unmistakably Jewish territories on every U.S. document and law.

God is clear in Genisis that He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.

“The West Bank” is a curse that America must stop uttering over God’s land and the Jewish people!

We can correct the course of history NOW by demanding Congress VOTE YES on HR 902 and S 384, the “Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act” of 2025.
