Israel Implements Segregated ‘Jews Only’ Buses in the West Bank

New racist bus policies are being implemented in the West Bank this week by Israel, 56 years after the Civil Rights movement in the USA witnessed the 'Montgomery Bus Boycott' which ended segregation and white supremacy on buses in the US.
From today Palestinian labourers from the West Bank will not be permitted to share buses with Jews. The move in the West Bank shows absolute disregard for the human dignity of Palestinian labourers, who are to be provided 'designated lines' which will be given lesser priority than the 'Jewish only' buses ferrying illegal settlers from the West Bank into Israel.
To justify this racist division, the Transportation Ministry has stated that the move is intended to ease the congestion felt on bus lines used by Jews in the same areas. Israeli YNet News states, 'several bus drivers have said that Palestinians who will choose to travel on the so-called "mixed" lines, will be asked to leave them.'
This discriminatory policy is a clear step backwards, and is an antithesis to all civil liberties and anti-apartheid movements witnessed in recent history.
In light of last week's bias BBC coverage of the rocket from Gaza, it will be interesting to note whether this appalling racist development merits front page coverage in the corporations view. Please ensure you take your complaint to the BBC Trust - suggested letters can be found here.
