Just a reminder that the term “West Bank” was applied by the Jordanians in 1948 after conquering the territory, annexing it, and ethnically cleansing the Jews from it. They called it this as it was the “west bank of the Jordan River.”

The term “Judea and Samaria” long predates the term “West Bank.”

I don’t care which you call it, but facts matter in terms of a discussion on colonialism.
