Knesset votes 71-13 for non-binding motion calling to annex West Bank

If the idea is to return to the boundaries that the Jews controlled in 400 BCE, Israel would need to immediately return the northern half of the country to other peoples - because, except for a historical brief period (perhaps 100 years at most), the Jews only controlled the area around Jerusalem - maybe 50 miles in each direction. There were lots of other tribes in the land of Canaan in the years 1200 BCE to 90 CE. (Canaanites, Samaritans, Syrians, Moabites, Phoenicians and Philistines, etc) and they all had their regions of control. But returning those parts of Israel to the descendants of those tribes doesn't appear to be part of the plan.

. The original Zionists of the 1880s and beyond were not particularly religious - they simply wanted a homeland for the Jews as a persecuted ethnic group. They would have been satisfied with any amount of land within the boundaries of Palestine that would be able to support a population of 5 million people or so. However, the Orthodox Jews who are now the most numerous group of Jews in Israel, are true, Torah-believing Jews, who regard the Jewish scriptures as actual history. The fact that it wasn't written down in the present form from oral traditions until very late in the game (maybe 300 BCE) doesn't diminish their conviction that it is correct and accurate history in all its elements. They are now looking to Biblical promises. They believe God gave them the rights to the land they are claiming and nothing that has happened in history between the time of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem to the founding of the state of Israel has any validity.

The second most heavily Jewish area of the planet is the city of New York and surrounding areas. I'm not sure how the residents of that region would feel if the Lenape tribe (the original "owners" of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx) were to suddenly evict all the current residents of the area by asserting their historical claims to the land. I suspect they wouldn't like it.

"Annex" = invade and conquer.

WTAF? Idiotic is the nicest word I can find for this.
