There is no “factual” basis to why Israel takes so much flak for moves like this.
It’s cherry picked to serve an agenda.
Meanwhile the real apartheid is in the Arabs’ countries. Just last week Copts were hiding in their Churches in fear of a mob.
Headlines to grab attention and inflame passions, getting front page of reddit and millions of pageviews for Ha’aretz, it’s all so easy when you have a populist movement behind you.
The self-richeous rejoice and balance is thrown out the window.
I don’t have a problem with the article, or an outrage at this, I do not think that bus-lines should be segregated
My issue lies in the mechanisms that swoop into action when bad things like this happen. Where are those same outrages when the other side commits or says evil?
Why is the dialogue so one sided?
Why is it Israel who takes the heat?
What vile attitudes do you foment when one helps spread raw and unbalanced headlines such as this.
Israelis can be unfair to the Palestinians and cruel, but, is it truely “Israel” that is doing this or is it vindictive parts of a free society?
In any case, have you read through the reddit page, will you answer my question? Is this about Israelis or Palestinians?

Remember, most people will only read a headline.
