I am not supposed to write this Saturday but, i forgot to write one yesterday. ANYWAYS
Requests for separate buses for Palestinians in Israel are “unacceptable” and resemble “apartheid,” the country’s Justice Minister said, adding that this kind of discrimination is banned by Israeli law.
“It’s intolerable, the claims that they [the settlers] need their own buses, because one [Palestinian] didn’t get up for a woman or an elderly person, and another wasn’t nice to them. This is apartheid!” Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said.
“That’s something I find unacceptable, and I’ll work against it,” she vowed. “This is discrimination that’s forbidden by Israeli law.”
Livni’s statements come after the country’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon decided that West Bank Arabs working in Israel should have their own segregated public buses when traveling to and from Israel via a single crossing.
I am starting to feel that the current Israeli views is that the Palestinians are invaders. Heck, they never knew a few Jews were there even before the Balfour Declaration, so the settlers are the Jewish people from Europe. We all know these settlers would give life to the dessert and make Israel a recognized state in the world by surviving 4 wars with the Arab nations and making peace with Anwar Sadat.
But what happened after? Thinking that the Palestinians were a bigger threat, they started to act like colonialists. Few Israelis were sympathetic to the Palestinian civies although this day, the numbers are growing, could be humanists. There should be a settlement if Palestinians want to have a state and in return, disband numerous para-militaries around the territory in exchange of Israeli aid until it can emerge from the ashes of conflicts.
I am seeing the two sides of the coin so don't tell me i am pro or con between them.
