Title: Judea and Samaria
This resolution, passed by the South Carolina House of Representatives, formally recognizes Judea and Samaria as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people, affirming their deep historical, biblical, and legal ties to the region. It explicitly rejects the term “West Bank,” which it describes as a politically motivated label imposed during Jordan’s occupation of the area from 1948 to 1967, and instead advocates for the use of “Judea and Samaria” in all official state communications.
The resolution also expresses unwavering solidarity with the State of Israel, supporting its right to self-defense and its sovereignty, and frames this support as consistent with fundamental values of truth, justice, and religious liberty.
