It is Judea and Samaria all the way up to Jordanian occupation. It is the correct historical term. It is where my family comes from, driven out in a pogrom in 1517. It is where our prophets and many of our other dead are buried. It has more Jewish history there than the area Israel sits on now. And thanks for erasing the homeland of another Indigneous people- the Samaritans of Samaria.

Palestine was a name by the Romans to erase Jewish history, naming the area after our enemy the Phillistines ( no relationbyo modern Palestinians) . The West Bank is just another attempt. It's in the name- the West Bank of the Jordan River, separating it from the East Bank, Jordan proper.
