Judea and Samaria have 'cities,' not 'settlements'

Dear Editor:

In regard to the article in the Heritage Feb. 14 issue, about the communities, I would like to know where the funding for Ms. Paiss’ NGO comes from. The communities in Judea and Samaria are part of Israel.  The Knesset should annex those areas.  Calling all the cities in those areas “settlements” does a disservice to all the thousands of Jews living there. 

Visit Judea and Samaria when you go to Israel and you will see those cities are permanent for all the Jews who make their homes there.
