Transcribed from the clipping
“The alien registration last January signed up only 6,500 citizens of Arab countries in the city — far short of the evident reality. It listed, for example, only 39 Palestinians… only those who left before the British mandate expired in 1948 hold Palestinian papers.”

Thirty-nine Palestinians on the register of a city that had thousands, because the paperwork that would make a person Palestinian stopped being issued in 1948.
One of them, born in what is now Israel and moved four times since, asks the reporter: where are you going to go?
