The resolution from the State of Alabama reaffirms the state's historical support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, referencing a unanimous resolution passed in 1943. It emphasizes the importance of using the terms "Judea" and "Samaria" to describe the ancestral heartland of the Jewish people, arguing that these names reflect the historical, spiritual, and geographical significance of the land. The resolution critiques the term "West Bank," suggesting it was a politically motivated designation that obscures the Jewish identity and historical connections to the region.
In light of this, the Alabama Legislature encourages all state government entities to refrain from using "West Bank" in official materials and instead adopt the terms "Judea and Samaria." This move is intended to honor the ancient history of the land and reinforce Alabama's commitment to supporting a Jewish state.
