Thanks,

AD, it's not the West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria, eternal and undivided territory of the land of Israel. From the sea 'till the Jordan river. What do you mean, Arabs?

Martijn,

I'm not sure who you are or why you're so bitter, but if you'd prefer, I can use the terminology that you prefer, that of Judea and Samaria, as you are correct- it was certainly used before that of the "West Bank". I'm not sure why recognizing the fact that there was a Jewish kingdom here many years ago means that one has to ignore the fact that there are Arabs, as well as Jews, living there right now.

I was being sarcastic, in case you didn't notice my last remark.

I was referring to Mr. Medad's discours. Not my own.
