I wonder if more Americans would ride public transportation if it were racially segregated?
REPORT: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has overruled his Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Wednesday and called off a proposed plan to segregate Palestinians from Israelis on West Bank buses, hours after it was introduced.
An official in the prime minister’s office said Netanyahu called Ya’alon to tell him he found the proposal “unacceptable” and the two decided to freeze the plan.
According to a Defense Ministry official, the ban had applied to Palestinians who commute to Israel to work.
“Under a three-month pilot project, Palestinians who work in Israel will, starting Wednesday, need to return home by the same crossings without taking buses used by (Israeli) residents of Judea and Samaria,” the official said.
