| Israel's segregated buses in West Bank denounced as 'apartheid' |
| 2013-03-05 |
| Everything Israel does is denounced, why should this be different? It does illustrate that the Paleos are creating problems. The measure, spurred by pressure from Jewish settlers in the West Bank, was decried by Palestinian officials and Israeli human rights groups as racist and illegal. It immediately drew "Hated" but in retrospect, quite effective when dealing with lawlessness and domestic terrorism. It is the first time that Israel has, in effect, introduced Palestinian-only buses in the West Bank since taking over the territory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the rights groups said. They are quite safe and unlike the Jewish buses, not prone to unexpected exploding. According to the Israeli transportation ministry, two bus lines aimed at serving Palestinians will run from the West Bank's Eyal checkpoint near Qalqilya into central Israeli cities like Tel Aviv. Eyal is a key crossing for thousands of Palestinians who travel to work within Israel's internationally recognised borders. Your choice, Paleo bus or leather cadillacs. Until now, many Palestinian workers who cross through Eyal walked or took a taxi or minibus to a bus stop near a Jewish settlement, where they boarded a bus along with Jewish passengers. The ministry denied that the buses are "separate for Palestinians" but said they will "improve public transport services" offered to Palestinian workers by providing them with cheaper and more reliable transportation to their jobs in Israel, a statement said. |

| #5 See #3 - "apartheid" is proper when, despite knowing that their Arab-Muslim Muslims care little or nothing about them, the Muslim Paleos still wanna destroy the only real hand that will develop + take care of them as a sovereign nation. |

| #3 Thing is, if the Paleoswinians had their way, they'd have segregated buses anyway. |

| #2 Segregation and separation can take various forms. Some can be government sponsored and funded, some can be voluntary. Chicago's violent South Side Auburn Gresham neighborhood is a tragic examples of both. Terrorism aside, crimes such a robbery, rape, and murder tend to key decision making factors when deciding where to live, work, or travel. We should not confuse common sense, concern for our family, and human survival with racism. |

| #1 Having lived through the Civil Rights era of the early '60s, I don't recall 'booming on buses' as part of the movement. Several 'booming churches', but never buses. The Klan terrorists did a lot to undermine their cause as well with their explosive practices. |
