One of the many kinds of permits that people in the West Bank need in order to travel into East Jerusalem or Israel.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>
\n<\/a>May 11, 2011 – An article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz by\u00a0Akiva Elder today<\/a> reveals that Israel revoked residency rights of 140,000 Palestinians who traveled abroad between\u00a01967 and 1994 without telling the Palestinians what they were doing.\u00a0 When Palestinians\u00a0left, they were ordered to\u00a0leave their residency cards at the border, then Israel decided\u00a0that if they didn’t return within\u00a0a certain amount of time they would cancel\u00a0their residency rights altogether.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Central Bureau of Statistics in Israel says the West Bank’s Palestinian population amounted to 1.05 million in 1994, which means the population would have been greater by about 14 percent if it weren’t for the procedure.<\/p>\n

Today, a similar procedure is still in place for residents of East Jerusalem who hold Israeli ID cards; they lose their right to return if they have been abroad for seven years.\u00a0 (See previous post on “The Bookseller of Jerusalem.<\/a>“)<\/p>\n

According to another article by Akiva Elder<\/a>, Palestinian Chief negotiator Saeb Erekat told Haaretz:<\/p>\n

This policy should not only be seen as a war crime as it is under international law; it also has a humanitarian dimension: we are talking about people who left Palestine to study or work temporarily but who could not return to resume their lives in their country with their families.\u00a0\u00a0Israel\u2019s actions violate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that \u2018everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.’<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
