itemprop="description articleBody">It seems that Israel is opening up
<I>"Palestinian only"</I> bus routes in the occupied territories. <A
href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4351368,00.html">According to
Ynet</A>, <SPAN id=article_content class=text14><I>"The Transportation Ministry
defended the plan, saying it was the result of reports and complaints saying
that the buses traveling in the area were overcrowded and rife with tensions
between the Jewish and Arab passengers."</I></SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN
id=article_content class=text14>Technically it's illegal to refuse anyone the
right to ride a bus but </SPAN>several bus drivers told Ynet that
<I>"Palestinians who will choose to travel on the so-called "mixed" lines, will
be asked to leave them..</I><SPAN id=article_content class=text14><I>
"</I></SPAN><BR><BR><I>"I believe this is worse than conditions in Montgomery
that Rosa Parks felt intolerable in the 1950s. When will this make the New York
Times? Or J Street's blog?" </I>wrote Philip Weiss on the <A
href="http://mondoweiss.net/">MondoWeiss website.</A><BR><BR>Apparently, there
has been the tension and scuffles between Jews and Palestinians on the lines and
drivers and Palestinians when the drivers refuse to board them. Along with this,
the Israeli paper <A
href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/tissue-tests-planned-for-israelis-in-gaza-who-want-to-cross-border.premium-1.506776">Haaretz
reports</A> that Israeli's living in Gaza who want to enter Israel will have to
undergo <I>"tissue culture testing" </I>to prove their identity. This is nasty
stuff. The process is a very expensive one, especially for a Palestinian or
Gazan resident. One can imagine the anger and hatred that has built up over the
years in the Palestinian community. I know of Americans who talk about
being willing to die and commit violence to defend our rights and homes but
condemn Palestinians who resort to unconventional measure to fight back against
one of the most heavily armed nations in the world that kills their children,
bulldozes their homes and takes their land. The perpetrators are often Russians
or South Africans or simply religious nuts who believe god gives them the right
to do this. <BR><BR>This is what is referred to as a the only democracy in the
Middle East, a Democracy for Jews for sure. US imperialism supports Israel
because it is the most reliable ally in the region helping ensure US
multinational corporations can plunder the region's resources. The US
gentile bourgeois care not for their Jewish competitors and would abandon them
in a moment if they had to, both here and in Israel. The 30,000 troops in
Bahrain sit idle as an absolute monarchy crushes with violence a movement for
democratic rights and reforms, those Jews who believe their safety can be
guaranteed by the Zionists and their Washington allies are mistaken.
While one can understand why older Jews especially have some sympathy for
Israel given the experience of Stalinism and the Nazis, Israel is a black
mark on centuries of Jewish leadership in the struggle of all people's for
freedom and justice.<BR><BR>This Auschwitz survivor explains why he opposes the
