Israel stripped thousands of Jerusalem Arabs of residency in 2008

Last year set an all-time record for the number of Arab residents of East Jerusalem who were stripped of residency rights by the Interior Ministry. Altogether, the ministry revoked the residency of 4,577 East Jerusalemites in 2008 - 21 times the average of the previous 40 years.

In the first 40 years of Israeli rule over East Jerusalem combined, from 1967 to 2007, the ministry deprived only 8,558 Arabs of their residency rights - less than double the number who lost their permits last year alone. Thus of all the East Jerusalem Arabs who have lost their residency rights since 1967, about 35 percent did so in 2008.

According to the ministry, last year's sharp increase stemmed from its decision to investigate the legal status of thousands of East Jerusalem residents in March and April, 2008. The probe was the brainchild of former interior minister Meir Sheetrit (Kadima) and Yaakov Ganot, who headed the ministry's Population Administration.

Once a Palestinian has lost his residency, even returning to Jerusalem for a family visit can be impossible, Ben-Hillel said. Moreover, he said, some of those whose residency Israel revoked may not have legal status in any other country, meaning they have been made stateless

Assuming the facts presented are correct (and they most certainly are not), this is a problem how?

Having found the original Haaretz article I discovered that a lot of the cases seem to involve fraud - Arabs collecting stipends from the Israeli government who don't even live in Jerusalem.
Such a harsh crackdown, stopping Arab cheats from continuing to defraud the Israeli government.

Odd, I thought I had posted the article link. Posted now. And you're not reading the full story obviously.

of COURSE! Don't you know that toddlers are the most volatile and willing to kill jews when they are held by their mothers? I bet it's something in that sour non-jew breast milk.


did you know that pali toddlers don't lose their milk teeth so much as they grow rockets in their gums? A dead pali toddler is a saved jewish life, you know.

Terrorists weren't even mentioned far as I can see.

The sins of the father are the sins of the son, right Elvis? We should probably incarcerate, nay put to death, the offspring of our criminals. You know... lest they follow in their parents' path. Toddlers, especially. You just can't trust those evil little bastards.

Isn't the article discussing evictions, not rockets going through toddlers' teeth?

Yes, I read the title quite well, thanks.

You called them Arabs. Do you admit that these so-called Palestinians are actually Arabs?
