Ed Miliband has just introduced legislation banning imports from the “settlements”, which are Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank).

Archaeological remains and Biblical documents prove that the Israelites go back at least to King David’s era (circa 1,000 BCE) in the area known as Judah (then later, Judea) as well as in areas of the Golan Heights and southern Lebanon.
