Reaffirming the Jewish People’s Right to the Biblical Heartland

Whereas the Jewish people have an enduring historical and biblical connection to Judea and Samaria, also known as the Biblical Heartland;

Whereas archaeological discoveries and physical evidence continuously reaffirm the Jewish people’s historic presence in this region;

Whereas Judea and Samaria contain some of the most significant biblical sites, including Beit El, Hebron, Shiloh, Beit She’an, Bethlehem, Shechem, Jericho, and many others;

Whereas key biblical figures such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, King David, King Solomon, the prophets, and in the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles, lived, owned land, fought battles, taught, judged, and traveled extensively throughout Judea and Samaria, shaping the region’s character and history;

Whereas despite modern propaganda claiming the contrary, Jesus was born a Jewish man in the Jewish city of Beit Lechem (Bethlehem), home of His ancestor King David, and traveled, preached, and ministered in the Roman occupied Jewish Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria;

Whereas, despite centuries of forced exile leading to the Jewish Diaspora, a continuous Jewish presence remained in the Land of Israel, including the Biblical Heartland;

Whereas, even during 2,000 years of exile, the Jewish people maintained an unbroken connection to their heritage through language, religion, and culture and shared a collective yearning to return to the land; and

Whereas the modern Jewish presence and sovereignty over Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria has brought tangible blessings to the land, as foretold in Scripture, improving the standard of living, safeguarding religious freedoms and sites, preserving the region’s history, and enhancing the lives of all its inhabitants,

Therefore, be it resolved that

The undersigned signatories reaffirm the Jewish people’s inalienable right to the Biblical Heartland of Israel and reject all efforts—both from the United States and the international community—to pressure the Jewish people to relinquish their ancestral homeland in Judea and Samaria.
