Ma'an News - Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem condemned the Israeli transport ministry's plans for segregated
bus lines for Palestinians and Israelis.
Israeli police have begun removing Palestinian passengers from buses at the request of Jewish settlers, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported .
An
army reservist told Haaretz that Israeli police stationed near Salfit
had ordered Palestinians off buses multiple times, leaving them to walk
several miles and then catch taxis home.
"The attempt at bus segregation is appalling, and the current arguments about 'security
needs' and 'overcrowding' must not be allowed to camouflage the blatant
racism of the demand to remove Palestinians from buses," B'Tselem
executive director Jessica Montell said in a statement.
Settlement
mayor Ron Nachman is working with the Israeli army, police and
transport ministry to stop Palestinians boarding buses that go to Ariel,
he wrote on his Facebook page.

How many Palestinian buses have been assault rifled or blown up by Israeli suicide bombers? Sure it's racist. They're all Semites, and that isn't even a race.
When will the Palestinians be ordered to wear green quarter-moon patches, I wonder.
Capt - about the same number of Israeli homes that have been bulldozed by the Palestinian government, or Israeli children shot by the Palestinian police for throwing rocks at tanks.
Plessy v. Ferguson was premised on 14th amendment equality. Separate was equal if passengers were on the same train or bus. This was less persuasive with entirely separate schools. An examination of Israeli law might not show the same civil rights protections as were accorded Montgomery bus passengers under Jim Crow laws.
Before you liberal pc hypocrites start whining about respect for women, read the truth about yourselves and your tax dollars.
