| Israel conducts apartheid-like policy on West Bank roads: HR group |
| 2004-08-10 |
| Tuesday, August 10, 2004 JERUSALEM: Israel systematically discriminates against Palestinian vehicles on West Bank roads, creating a policy that has "many similarities" to the former apartheid regime in South Africa, an Israeli human rights group charged Monday. A report published by the B'tselem group said Israel bans or strictly controls Palestinian vehicles on more than 700 kilometers (430 miles) of West Bank roads, many of them major thoroughfares. B'tselem said Palestinian vehicles were banned from 120 kilometres of West Bank roads, needed special permits on 245 kilometers (156 miles), and were discouraged by the application of selective traffic ticketing policies and other discriminatory measures from traveling on an additional 365 kilometres. This seemed so believable until I reached the article's end without seeing the words, "car bomb," "bomb vest" or "terrorist attack." Who are these "HR" nuckfuggets and do they actually believe this sort of horsesh!t? Until all Palestinians renounce terrorism, they should be subjected to cavity searches every ten f&%king feet. |

| #11 I guess some people are congenitally incapable of thinking, which is why they think feeling is a legitimate substitute. Oy! Another mind contaminated by the rationality of Ayn Rand! |

| #10 More than a little much, Zenster. I don't understand B'tselem even less than I don't understand the Kumbaya-ers over here. I guess some people are congenitally incapable of thinking, which is why they think feeling is a legitimate substitute. |

| #9 I realize the source, but the unreality of this was just a little much, trailing wife. In light of how the Palestinians revere Hitler and seek a similar modern day Holocaust, how is it that a group like B'tselem can be so insanely blind? It goes beyond all reason. |

| #8 This article came from the Pakistan Daily Times. You didn't seriously expect anything remotely resembling balanced and truthful reporting??? And B'tselem are suicidal idiots who think if they can just shout the LLL party line loud enough, it'l be forgiven that they're Jews. |

| #5 "cavity searches every ten f&%king feet." sounds very extreme. perhaps a search every hundred and twenty d**m inches? |

| #2 I'm so sorry, I take it all back. I was clearly mistaken about this. That last line should have read "deep cavity searches." |
