[quote]Transportation Ministry announced that starting Sunday it will begin operating designated lines for Palestinians in the West Bank.
The bus lines in question are meant, according to the ministry, to transport Palestinian workers from the West Bank to central Israel. The ministry alleges that the move is meant to ease the congestion felt on bus lines used by Jews in the same areas, but [b]several bus drivers told Ynet that Palestinians who will choose to travel on the so-called "mixed" lines, will be asked to leave them.[/b][/quote]
[quote]According to the statement, "The Transportation Ministry is forbidden from preventing any passenger from boarding any line of public transportation, nor do we know of a directive to that effect. Instating these lines was done with the knowledge and complete agreement of the Palestinians."

Seriously?
I hate to be that guy, but they're on a slippery slope to becoming the people who massacred the jews around 70 years ago.
It never ends, does it.
Wow, they are seriously bad losers
Reminds me of the Civil Rights Movement
Where have I seen this before...?
It's like they want the world to hate them.
good idea. buses that only go into palestine will help bring the two countries together
I am really hoping there will be a Palestinian Rosa Parks.

Or is there evidence of Palestinian segregation going on in israel?[/B]- one of my posts from earlier
well, that clears THAT up.

But her name will be hard to pronounce.
What is that exact quote that goes along the lines "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"? It is applying to this more and more everyday.
I've only seen the end of segregation, not the beginnings of it.

Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.

This could prove to be interesting to watch. Like my learned colleague above, I've never seen this sort of thing from start to finish.
And next every Palestinian will be required to wear a crescent moon clearly visible on their coat...
Seriously Israel, I try to give you more credit than most, but when you pull shit like this it really makes it hard.

It's like they're taking the worst of racism in the US and combines it with the atrocities of nazi Germany, and then tries to get away with as much of it as possible.
I believe this falls under crimes against humanity.
I'll just wait for our local Israel advocates to try and explain this.
'Cause, I bet it's just the government's doing and the Israelis are all against that, right.

pretty certain it falls under a violation of the rights to egalitarianism and freedom from discrimination
So instead of being forced to the back of the bus, they get a whole bus just for them.
Ain't that nice.

it's gettin [i]reaaaaaaaaaaaaal[/i] nazi-y up in here, jews.
I smell Apartheid
If people didn't still feel pity on their grandparents (who are all spinning in their graves) we would all be allowed to call them -snip -snip- -snip-ing -snip-ers.
We have so many fucking reasons to intervene and we fucking don't.
well, there are a lot of reasons not to from a political standpoint? that doesn't make it right but what do you expect

If your country has this level of problems and ineptitude you should work to resolve your batshit politics and ineptitude rather than working with it.

We also have more reasons not to intervene. We should threaten to cut their funding and support instead.
This is old news
Also, didn't this get repealed or some shit
People will complain but nothing will be done
ever

Well back in the 1940's some people even got a whole train for themselves. This sounds too familiar.
