Your sarcasm is misplaced. You are using it to hide your tactic of constantly moving the goal posts. Your reply above doesn't even make sense, so I won't try to answer. x Israel is the historical homeland of the world's Jews. However, the Israeli government's claims on the area were based on international action. The Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations' mandate and the U.N. partition plan were all steps towards solving the problems of the world's Jews by granting them a homeland. It was a practical approach to a longstanding social problem. It wasn't primarily driven by the belief in a promise by God. The current government believes Jews have the exclusive right to Israel and it doesn't accept the creation of a Palestinian state on territory currently controlled by Israel. Some of the coalition political leaders take the Torah literally, but overall, the Netanyahu government bases its opposition to a Palestinian state on security concerns, not verses from the Torah. Again, the historical Jewish name for that area is "Judea and Samaria." The name "West Bank" was given to the area by the Jordanian government when it annexed the territory in 1950. According to Google AI, Judea and Samaria "is the official administrative name used by the Israeli government and military. In Hebrew, it is called Yehuda ve-Shomron." This does indeed have to do with history and not using a foreign term.
