Anti-Palestinian bias
We should not allow this kind of bias to happen in this article. Do you agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:1380:1000:6E00:0:0:0:1 (talk) 00:12, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
"Palestinian" is an artificial term that refers to Muslim immigrants in Israel. Hadrian resurrected the term "Palestina" when he kicked out the Jews out of their ancestral land after the bar Kokhba revolt. Muslims didn't even exist yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.121.228.133 (talk) 00:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- A "Palestinian" refers to an Arab in the region of Palestine. Take into account that not all Arabs, including Palestinians, are Muslims. Before prior contact of Islam, most "Palestinians" are were Christian at that time. Also, Palestinians are not immigrants because they had been living in the Palestine region before the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine. -- Chxeese (talk) 17:16, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Terms Common Usage
When talking about the terms used in Israel for the area, from my experience "the Territories" is more common than "the West Bank" among left wing circles but from my experience where you born and raised matter more when it comes to this terms Multiverse Union (talk) 14:13, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 30 October 2023
Template:Edit extended-protected Unfortuantely, this page discusses a very narrow Palestinian narrative, much of which is skewed. I would expect Wikipedia to at least try to include balanced information. This entire page needs to be rewritten. 109.226.59.2 (talk) 08:47, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Template:Edit extended-protected Change "The term Judea and Samaria serves as another name for the West Bank in Israel." to "The term "the West Bank" serves as another name for Judea and Samaria in Israel."
Judea and Samaria are names that have been around for thousands of years; the term "the West Bank" was encouraged upon Jordan by the Soviets in the 1960s in an attempt to dilute Jewish identity with the area. Stones365 (talk) 20:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

US Legislation on the name
Of possible interest to this article, Senator Tom Cotton introduces bill to replace 'West Bank' with 'Judea and Samaria'. Zaathras (talk) 02:41, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have the say, for me, the name of the act alone is enough reason to add it to the article for readers - 'Retiring the Egregious Confusion Over the Genuine Name of Israel’s Zone of Influence by Necessitating Government-use of Judea and Samaria (RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria) Act'. This could be a sentence from a George Saunders story. Sean.hoyland (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. This is the Israeli name for the area and it’s increasingly recognized. The article fails to recognize that. 94.97.90.159 (talk) 19:19, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
