There were more but attacks and a very hostile government has limited them. Do Jews want to move in? yes. Do they want to reclaim their buildings? Yes. Is the army in the area treating them more harshly than anyone and anywhere else? Yes. The point isn't 900, the point is only 900. How would you like to be told that you were not allowed into somewhere because you were white? Or that you could not join your family somewhere because there was a ban on people moving in? Welcome to the middle east where Jews are not allowed to live in any territory controlled by Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, etc, etc, etc. But the reverse is not true as Israel will allow anyone to move in from Arabs to Sudanese refugees.
Like I said, the argument is presented very one sided, manipulated and polished.
