They called it the "West Bank" to erase its real name, Judea and Samaria, so that no one remembers its rightful owners, the Jews (Judeans) and Israel (whose capital was Samaria).
[Judea is actually its anglicized name. Its real name is Yehuda, because it's the Land of the Yehudim.]
The "West Bank" has nothing to do with a river bank. Rather, they call it that because they're a cabal of tycoon bankers who control world banks and nearly all the world's assets.
"West" means Rome, in contrast to "East" which meant Byzantium, or Islam in later times.
By calling it the "West Bank," they are declaring it their own. Their insistence on an Islamic "Palestine" is a ruse, just a convenient means of eliminating its rightful owners, the Jews, and rendering it Judenrein.
The so-called Palestinians are merely pawns. It's not about them, never has been.
And that's why the ruling class calls it "West Bank," i.e. the bank that's owned by the Bankers of Edom.
It might be in the Middle East, but the West claims it as its own, because it's the Bank.
In modern times, there are no sovereign states. Just corporations. And all corporations are financed by the bank. Likewise, no one owns land anymore. Nearly everyone has mortgages and/or pay tax to the corporations posing as states. It's all really owned by the Bank. The Bank of Edom.
That's the sorry state of affairs in present times, the end of them Edomite Exile.
Speedily in our days, their bank will collapse. Judea and Samaria will rise again. And so will Mount Zion, the capital of Judea and a reunited Israel.
"And deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau, and sovereignty will be God's.” [Obadiah 1:21]
