Anti-Israel Crowd Realizes Buses Not Just For Blowing Up

Last week may have been the first International Conference on Medicine and Medical Clowning, but next week is the Conference of International Clowns Who Are Clearly Off Their Meds.

I don't seem to recall Rosa Parks blowing up buses

Next Tuesday, Palestinian activists will attempt to board segregated Israeli public transportation headed from inside the West Bank to occupied East Jerusalem in an act of civil disobedience inspired by the Freedom Riders of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement in the 60’s.

Fifty years after the U.S. Freedom Riders staged mixed-race bus rides through the roads of the segregated American South, Palestinian Freedom Riders will be asserting their right for liberty and dignity by disrupting the military regime of the Occupation through peaceful civil disobedience.

The Freedom Riders seek to highlight Israel’s attempts to illegally sever occupied East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank, and the apartheid system that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Several Israeli companies, among them Egged and Veolia, operate dozens of lines that run through the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, many of them subsidized by the state. They run between different Israeli settlements, connecting them to each other and cities inside Israel. Some lines connecting Jerusalem to other cities inside Israel, such as Eilat and Beit She’an, are also routed to pass through the West Bank.

Israelis suffer almost no limitations on their freedom of movement in the occupied Palestinian territory, and are even allowed to settle in it, contrary to international law. Palestinians, in contrast, are not allowed to enter Israel without procuring a special permit from Israeli authorities. Even Palestinian movement inside the Occupied Territories is heavily restricted, with access to occupied East Jerusalem and some 8% of the West Bank in the border area also forbidden without a similar permit.

While it is not officially forbidden for Palestinians to use Israeli public transportation in the West Bank, these lines are effectively segregated, since many of them pass through Jewish-only settlements, to which Palestinian entry is prohibited by a military decree.

The anti-Israel crowd sure love buses. I guess we should be thankful this plan doesn’t include explosives.

I have a better idea for these moonbats. How about they catch taxis? I know some taxi drivers who share their evil designs, and could do with the work.

  1. “Israelis suffer almost no limitations on their freedom of movement in the occupied Palestinian territory, and are even allowed to settle in it, contrary to international law.”

    Wow! Every single word is a lie.

  2. Typical leftist behavior. When reality doesnt fit your worldview, change reality. Whether its using household income inequality instead of individual income to claim that the economy is screwing the little guy or this.

    “While it is not officially forbidden for Palestinians to use Israeli public transportation in the West Bank, these lines are effectively segregated, since many of them pass through Jewish-only settlements, to which Palestinian entry is prohibited by a military decree.”

    its not segregation, but well call it segregation anyway because effectively it is segregation. A bus line serves areas where customers are and where it is safe to go. Why do these buses need to go to Arab towns if Arabs wont necessarily want to ride them?
