Women have been assaulted and beaten for not moving to the rear of the bus. There are plenty of examples of that and examples of women who have been run off (or worse) for not adhering to certain dress codes.

That would be a crime in Israel, and is handled as a crime by the authorities as a crime.
It is not a crime in Iran or Saudi Arabia. It is the authorities doing the beating.. if you can’t see the difference then you are not trying very hard.

I was not saying that there is no violence, or criminal acts in Israel. But that this accommodation can be done in a legal, and non-violent way that does not bring democracy down.
