Primary Source-a-riffic
One of our outstanding associates has recently brought to our attention an important semantic point relating to Israel. The the 1947 Partition Plan refers to the geographical area on the west side of the Jordan river, or the 'West Bank', as Judea and Samaria, or rather 'Samaria and Judea'. Here is the source: http://www.undemocracy.com/A-RES-181(II).pdf , on page 13. A search for "West Bank" in the New York Times during 1966 yields only stories about finance in West Germany: http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?frow=0&n=10&srcht=s&daterange=period&query=west+bank+1966&srchst=p&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=sub&hdlquery=&bylquery=&mon1=09&day1=18&year1=1851&mon2=12&day2=31&year2=1980. Facts are inconvenient so often for the anti-Israel crew. Let us not fall prey to "Newspeak" of any sort!
