Get it right, it was Judea and Samaria for 3000 years after Arab invaders changed its name to West Bank in 1948.And call the West Bank by it's rightful name that it had for 3000 years before Arab invaders changed it's name in 1948: Judea and Samaria of ancient Israel.
sorry dumbass but the land was called PALESTINE for much longer than it was called Isael or Judea or Judah.
Palestine from 135 ad to 1948 is more than 1,800 years.
Israel Judah and Judea for only 900 years/
so the correct and longest name is PALESTINE!!!!
now get back to the topic of peace talks antic which the zionists are doing right now by continuting the settlement buiding in the west bank.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judea_and_Samaria_Area
The area now usually referred to as the West Bank covers a portion of the territory designated by the biblical terms Judea and Samaria. Samaria corresponds to part of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, and Judea to part of the Kingdom of Judah, also known respectively as the Northern and the Southern Kingdoms. After the fall of the Northern Kingdom (720 BCE), Israel was renamed Samaria (Shomron), and during the Hellenistic and Roman periods the name Judah was hellenized to Judea. In modern times, Samaria was the name of one of the administrative districts of the British Mandate of Palestine. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) Future Government of Palestine, adopted in 1947, referred to "Samaria and Judea" as part of a proposed Arab state to be carved out of the Mandate of Palestine but the boundaries of "Samaria and Judea" did not precisely coincide with the current Judea and Samaria Area. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Trans-Jordan, renamed Jordan in 1949, renamed the area on the west bank under its control following the cessation of hostilities the "West Bank" (Arabic: الضفة الغربية aḍ-Ḍaffah l-Ġarbiyyah) to distinguish it from the rest of the kingdom, which falls on the Jordan River’s east bank. The area was captured from Jordan by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. While the term "Judea and Samaria" was officially adopted by the Israel in 1967 it was not used extensively until 1977.[2]
The name Judea, when used in Judea and Samaria, refers to all of the region south of Jerusalem, including Gush Etzion and Har Hebron. The region of Samaria, on the other hand, refers to the area north of Jerusalem. East Jerusalem has been incorporated into Jerusalem District and is under Israeli civilian rule. That part of the West Bank is thus excluded from the administrative structure that is the Judea and Samaria Area.
