Reply #5: Seriously? How is this possible?

[shira]

Not one of 140,000 thought to ask as they left their residency cards at the Jordan border what the terms were WRT their residency status?

Erekat said he learned from his brother's experience and came back several times to keep his residency status. Therefore Erekat knew, but the claim in this news report is NO ONE knew over a span of 27 years? Only NOW do we know that 140,000 people who left prior to 1994, some 17 years ago, are not allowed back?

Seriously?

Why didn't Erekat and his brother start complaining 20 years ago?

Why hasn't anyone else from the original 140,000 complained until now?

Baloney.
