Police order Palestinian workers off buses to West Bank, at request of Israeli settlers

Alabama- bound....." everything in history comes back. It's so disgusting!

Nothing. Nothing justifies this as nothing justifies suicide bombings Of innocent Civilians on the busses.

I make it a point and others should do as well on a orthodox public bus I sit with the women, when they do not wish me to sit next to them, they move. Same on sheruts, when they ask me to move so as not to sit next to them, I simply reply, your problem not mine.

What hath the government's policies wrought! Shame on the police for assenting to the settler's arrogance and racism! First it was separate roads for the settlers, then haredi buses demanding women sit in the back -- or take separate buses after all. Settlers destroy farmers' olive trees. Settlers lord it over Palestinians who have lived their for generations. Young Israeli soldiers poison their own souls lording it over poor people at checkpoints. Settlers demanding Palestinians, whose lands they have taken over, get off their buses. What's next? Settlers demanding Palestinians be deported altogether? Haredim demanding no women be seen in public at all? Israel crawls ever closer to the sexist, racist, apartheid state its harshest critics claim it is becoming. The poison is spreading....

Israel is Alabama in the '30s.

Anyone recall the many bus bombings that were the cause of the checkpoints, security fence, and all the rest? Comparing this to segregation is malicious. The ones yelling apartheid are the same who smile when an Israeli bus blows up. Israel, protect your people! The Europeans

If they love "palestine" so much, why don't they work there???

these settlers, should be treated the same way when they visit other countries. just to remind them that all men are equal. maybe a little taste of their medicine would remind them about how bad racism feels on the receiving end.

If that's 'apartheid' I'm all for it.

Get ready for people to start blindly stating "security" when, in fact, Shabbak data would show that these things are unnecessary. Shabbak data even shows that there are thousands who come through the "wall/fence" and yet there is no increased security risk from it. We've been lied to enough - just stop listening to any excuse Israel makes. It's like the boy who cried wolf - you have to cut us off here. Don't listen to your manipulative leaders.

israel is turning back the clock. settlers rule. segregating palestinians from israelis, just like the old racist american segregation system between blacks and whites. how many israelis close their eyes? the west bank is not israel. let the settlers be invited to leave.

The arabs have been complaining in the UN for ages about this very thing. It has nothing to do with "Hating the Joooooos" and everything to do with racism, supremacism, occupation, oppression, and collective punishment. That all should have been a hint as to how they view the Palestinians as southerners used to view the blacks.

It's awful - if you read only this article. (Interestingly enough, this was not in the Hebrew print edition yesterday or today.) In the paper today however there is an article on how Palestinian terrorists in a neighboring village broke through a security fence and attacked a woman in her home. There are security threats, and they are life threatening. Take that into account.

Reminding me a bit of the Apartheid!!!

Isn't this a bit like South Africa's Arpartheid laws, I understand that many are fearful of terrorism but does Israel want to become multi-national or is this concept frowned on in which case you must abandon Arab workers completely. I am from Australia and am neither Jewish or Islamic.

This together with the new Likud list - makes sure electors will know exactly what kind of Israel they are voting for.

i am angered and ashamed that my very hard earned money is taxed to continue subsidising the actions and attitude of the settlers towards our neighbours - palestinian men and women who want to feed, clothe and educate their families

I guess in Israel, illegal settlers have more rights than legal labors with valid permits.

I seriously can't believe we call an ally a country that has institutionalized racism. I object to having my tax dollars go to support an apartheid state
