Israeli Knesset Backs West Bank Annexation
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Israeli Parliament (Knesset) has adopted a declaration calling on the country's government to annex the West Bank of the Jordan River. This was reported on July 23 by the Ynet portal.

A total of 71 of the 120 Knesset members voted in favor of the resolution, while 13 members voted against it.

The adopted document is of a purely declarative nature and does not have legal or legislative force.
So just posturing. Good to know.

#3 Jew haters of all complexions, faiths, political convictions, and unthinking fashionables spread it, too.

#4 Setting the stage.
Creating momentum.
The Overton Window is shifting from unthinkable to politically feasible.

#5 They really need to just do it. The proper historical name of the so called "west bank" is Judea and Samaria.

#7 The Overton Window is shifting from unthinkable to politically feasible.

There is the important part. It may be posturing at the moment, but we have gone from unthinkable to saying out loud. I blame Trump. All sorts things are becoming possible now. In the future, they will call it The Trumpening.

Of course, 7-Oct had something to do with it. That was a marker there would be no more kicking the can down the road. Time for a more permanent solution.
