We struggle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this

You deserve a factual
look at . .

Who owns the "West Bank"?
The ancient lands of Judea and Samaria, east of Jerusalem, have
been part of the Jewish homeland for 3,000 years. Today Arabs demand all
of it.
Judea and Samaria, the land where Jewish
ancestors Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rachel, David and Solomon created Biblical
history, was renamed the "West Bank" during Jordan's brief, illegal
19-year occupation. Today, some 380,000 Jews own land and live in the
territory, yet their rights are denied by Palestinian Arabs.
What are the facts?
Following the collapse of the
Ottoman Empire after Wold War I, the Allied Powers, which were the only parties
with the right or power to resolve ownership of vast tracts of the Middle East,
allotted to the Jewish people the land west of the Jordan River,
including Judea and Samaria. This resolution, made at the San Remo
Conference, was effected through the Mandate for Palestine, which was adopted
by the League of Nations in 1922 and assumed by the United Nations in
1948. This document, based on "the historical connection of the
Jewish people with Palestine," secured "the establishment of the
Jewish national home." Nothing since 1922 has changed the legal
status of those internationally binding documents.
Much of the land allocated to
the Jews, including most of Judea and Samaria, was taken from them by Egypt,
Iraq, Jordan and Syria following Israel's War of Independence in 1948, when the
Jewish state was attacked by those Arab nations - the latter three of which
were also established by the Mandate for Palestine. Jordan illegally
seized the "West Bank" and East Jerusalem, and expelled all Jews from
these Biblical homelands.
In fact, the territories of Judea and
Samaria have never been part of any nation except the Jewish state. In
1967, when it was again attacked by Arab armies, Israel defeated the invaders
and recovered the occupied "West Bank" from Jordan. It should
be noted that during Jordan's occupation of the "West Bank," no Arab
Palestinian movement emerged in favor of independence. Indeed, it wasn't
until Israel reclaimed the land and Jews returned to their ancestral home that
claims of Jewish "occupation" were raised.
Today, most land in
present-day Judea and Samaria is not privately owned, but rather is unsurveyed
- without proven ownership. Israel claims about 30% of the public land in
the territory. However, the Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that
unsurveyed land in Judea and Samaria can be acquired by Arabs who cultivate it
consistently. Arabs, through deed and cultivation rights, own about 95%
of private land in the territory. Jews, however, are not granted similar
rights, so Jewish farming on unsurveyed land does not entitle Jews to private
ownership. Nonetheless, Jews own about 5 % of all private land in Judea
and Samaria.
Israel offers land
for peace. Israel has a clear, millennia-old historical claim to
Judea and Samaria, and it reacquired the territories defending itself against an
aggressive war. In addition, Israel has an irrefutable legal claim to
these territories backed by the 95-year old San Remo Resolution.
Nonetheless, recognizing that its claims are disputed by Arab neighbors, the
Jewish state has shown uncommon willingness to share the land.
Starting in 1967,
following the Six-Day War, Israel has offered to give up almost all the land it
controls in the "West Bank" - plus a Palestinian capital in the
eastern part of Jerusalem - in exchange for peace. Unfortunately, despite
numerous such land-for-peace overtures by Israel, including two most recently
in 2000 and 2008, the Arabs have consistently rejected them.
Not only do the Arabs
reject any Jewish claims to land in Judea and Samaria, they have also insisted
during peace negotiations that the territory be made judenrein - free of
Jews. Worse, many Palestinians Arabs, such as the terror group Hamas,
maintain that the entire land of Palestine - from the Jordan River to the
Mediterranean Sea, including all of Israel and the "West Bank" -
belongs only to Arabs. Today, official Palestinian maps do not depict the
state of Israel.
How will the dispute
over Judea and Samaria be resolved? Over Israel's 67 years, it has
become a world-class cultural, economic and military power. Its standard
of living id among the highest in the Middle East. Clearly the Jewish
state is here to stay. Yet despite its strength, Israel has shown
willingness to negotiate and exchange land for peace. Sadly, this
willingness has not been matched by Palestinian leadership. Until such
negotiations are consummated, the "West Bank" will remain in dispute
- a no-man's land in which claims of ownership remain cloudy and contested.
While Israel has clear rights to ownership of
Judea and Samaria - also known as the "West Bank" - it has taken a
practical position offering to trade those rights and that land for peace with
its Arab neighbors. As of yet, however, tragically, no Palestinian leader
has been willing to compromise his people's unrealistic expectation that all of
Palestine - from the river to the sea - belongs only to Arabs.

The following article by
Rabbi Marvin Hier can be found on pg. 2 in INMOTION, Summer 2015, Vol. 1 Issue
10 publication from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
During the past few
months, world leaders gathered to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the
liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of World War
II.
: In 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of the Third
Reich, the world was shocked. Nobody expected that they would govern Germany.
But rather than confront the Nazis, the prevalent view of both the leaders of
Europe and the United States was to reach out and attempt to engage them.
Their reasoning was clear - by welcoming Hitler as a full-fledged partner in
the new Europe, the Fuhrer and his followers could be convinced to mitigate
their racist and anti-Semitic ideology. Only Winston Churchill saw
through the veneer and knew instinctively that hate mongers and despots are
unlikely candidates for change.
: But Britain and the
United States were then very much in the appeasement mode. The US,
despite Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews, fully supported sending the US
Olympic team to the Hitler-sponsored Olympics.
: Six years after the
Berlin Olympics ended Hitler began his "Final Solution". When
the War ended, the Nazis in places like Treblinka, Majdanek and Auschwitz
murdered six million Jews, one-third of all the Jews in the world.
Between fifty and eighty million people lost their lives.
: What lessons can we
learn from these, seventy years later? We can learn that ideologues
remain ideologues. That despite all the meetings with world leaders,
despite the fact that Hitler hosted 1936 Olympics and the whole world came to
Berlin, it had absolutely no impact on mitigating Hitler's worldview. In
the end, he did exactly what he wrote in a September 16, 1919 signed letter in
the possession of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and on display at the Museum of
Tolerance, in which he said, "Its final aim, however, must be the
uncompromising removal of the Jews."
: This year, as we mark the 70th anniversary of the end of
World War II, these are crucial lessons to remember as we engage Iran (see next
page for details about my meeting with President Obama). : A Simon Wiesenthal Center recent acquisition is an original
document written by Israel's founding Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, in
which he says, "An American leader in the future could say, after a
failure, 'I made a mistake. I did not understand the real intention of
the Arab leaders."
: We cannot afford to
make mistakes on this decisive issue nor can we allow any power in the world to
compel us to make fateful errors.
: On this 70th anniversary of the end of the Nazi regime, the
memory of the holocaust is best preserved when we refuse to repeat our
mistakes.

community and help protect Israel against any and all threats from Iran, or any
other country!
