Acts 1:8<\/a> “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem<\/strong>, and in all Judea <\/strong>and Samaria<\/strong>, and to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hear a lot about “Palestine<\/strong><\/em>” and “Palestinians<\/em><\/strong>” these days. But did you realise that these are terms which the Romans invented to disempower the Jews? Palestina <\/strong>was a name they created so that they didn’t have to recognise Judea <\/strong>as the home of the Jews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing has really changed. Today politicians and media like to use the term “West Bank<\/strong><\/em>“. Where is that exactly? Well quite simply Judea <\/strong>and Samaria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
