Starting today Monday March 4,2013, Palestinians traveling from the West Bank into Israel have their own bus lines, separate from Israeli travelers -Palestinian-only buses
According to the Israeli paper Haaretz , the two new, non-mandatory public bus lines will start from checkpoints in the West Bank and run north toward Tel Aviv to help “relieve the distress of the Palestinian workers,” in the words of Israel’s Transportation Ministry
Creating separate bus lines for Israeli Jews and Palestinians is simply racism. Such a plan cannot be justified with claims of security needs or overcrowding said Jessica Montell, a human rights activist
