Israel Admits to Being Extra-Judicial Dicks

[Gawd]

Justice Ministry admits it covertly canceled residency status of 140,000 Palestinians

Israel has used a covert procedure to cancel the residency status of 140,000 West Bank Palestinians between 1967 and 1994, the Justice Ministry admits in a new document obtained by Haaretz. The document was written by the ministry's Judea and Samaria office after the Center for the Defense of the Individual filed a request under the Freedom of Information Law.

The document states that the procedure was used on Palestinian residents of the West Bank who traveled abroad between 1967 and 1994. From the occupation of the West Bank until the signing of the Oslo Accords, Palestinians who wished to travel abroad via Jordan were ordered to leave their ID cards at the Allenby Bridge border crossing.

.....

The Center for the Defense of the Individual said that "mass withdrawal of residency rights from tens of thousands of West Bank residents, tantamount to permanent exile from their homeland, remains an illegitimate demographic policy and a grave violation of international law."

It noted that an unknown number of Gaza residents had lost residency rights in a similar manner, but that the exact number was still a secret the center vowed to uncover. "The State of Israel should fix the ongoing wrong at once, restore residency rights to all affected Palestinians and allow them and their families to return to their homeland," the center said.

Israel needs to be destroyed.

Your pony ran away with your trick

I tried chasing my pony on my own farm, but I got shot by Jews saying "get out".

I had a Palestinian professor who was telling me the same thing, actually. A real travesty.

This topic should be moved to News, Current Events & Politics. Just because Gawd brought it up does not mean it is not worth discussing there. Seriously.

Whoah! Jim, you're a mod now? When do I get my mod powers?

I'd like to see a response by the Israeli government on the issue. Has anyone seen one yet?

I would have to agree with Seph. I would actually like to know the official response to this by Israel. I remember taking a History of the Middle East course and my Palestinian professor mentioning this. I would like to see how Israel characterizes this action.

Israel needs to be destroyed.

So when are you gonna move out there and do something about it?

That's a little unfair Ian. I think the State should be destroyed, but I'm not stupid enough to get myself shot or beaten to death by soldiers or riot police in pursuit of my ideal.

By now, you should be able to predict what the Israeli response will be with pinpoint accuracy.

When you stop shipping them weapons.
