Why are you calling the West Bank Israel? If it was Israeli land, annexed by Israel, it would thrive like Gaza pre-2005 and Israel proper today. Why are you a liar? That’s not Christian. It is Islamic though in permissible lying the Taqiyya. Are you a Muslim? Why don’t you read what Israeli Christians have to say about their country?

The West Bank has been occupied by Israel since they annexed it in 1967. Since then, Palestinians have been squeezed into “islands” in the West Bank surrounded by (and separated by) areas that are occupied by more and more Israeli Jewish settlers.

Here’s a map from the Beeb. It’s six years old and there are more Jewish settlements now, but it’s easy and simple:

Here’s a rather long and somewhat detailed explanation of what has been going on in the West Bank since 1967, along with interactive maps (yes, this one appears to be in sympathy with the plight of the West Bank Palestinians, but I found no factual errors:

No need to falsely accuse me of lying. Or resorting to claiming I must be A Muslim (eye roll). How about acting like a grownup and discussing facts instead of slinging wild unfounded insults? Doing so only makes it obvious to all you are on the losing end of and argument and have nothing but ridiculous insults to offer. I get that you are very emotionally invested in this issue for some reason or other, but goodness gracious.

Why don’t you listen to what West Bank Christians have to say? Why don’t you watch that video? Scared? Closed mind?
