The situation here is only getting worse. Separate bus lines? What is next, separate water fountains and bathrooms?

Revoke all work permits. Israeli doesn't need and doesn't want Arab workers. The work permits were designed as a 'good will gesture'. Now it will be used against us.

so worried about world opinion.make up your minds either your leaders grow some balls and stop west bank arabs from working in Israel and let the Jordanian goverment worry about them or move out of the stinking west bank and put a wall up with border patrol shooting to kill invaders .the world will hate you either way you go.what dont you understand.

I trust this talk of separate buses is a joke. If it's not, it's ominous.

Wouldn't that make non-Palestinian Busses an easy mark for suicide bombers? If it's mixed they are less likely to bomb it.

And you wonder why the world ostracizes Israel!

Revoke all work permits. Let the ersatz "Palestine" Authority create jobs instead of mischief, for a change.

... There will be no one building new apartments in israel. I am a construction engineer and i have yet to see a jew doing any construction work other than shiputzim. There is a housing shortage and a labor shortage in this country. We have to give work permits to someone, better the arabs who live a bus ride away than to bring in thousands of africans or chinese who then have kids and start families here and before you know it they are in your kupat cholim

What a stupid idea. Who in the Israeli government comes up with this *hit? Let them walk or behave themselves on our bus lines. What an excellent way of legitimizing their rights in Israel. The bus in the photo looks quite nice. Do you think they will still stone our buses as they drive by.

The armoured buses serving the Jewish villages were originally from Dan bus company and now Afikim, a poor and as in the article, overcrowded service. Now that the Israeli Government in an attempt to make nice to the PA has allowed large numbers of Arabs from Area A & B to work in Israel the previously inadequate bus services for the Jewish populations have become swamped with extra passengers. This article describes the situation as is today.

are you insane? i don't think so!!! do you know how many of their innocent brothers and sisters the suicide islamist bombers kill on a daily basis? don't you know that during the 1006 lebanon second war, arab villagers died in israel proper, arab israeli citizens, from nasrallah and hzbullah's missiles. also, arab palestinian terrorists don't care how many people they send for suicide missions into israel as long as a single jew sucvceeds in dying because of them. arab muslims kill each other non stop all over the world. they have no compunction about the sanctity of life the goal suits the means.

if there are complaints then end pals in israel

Must be dark in Brooklyn now, I see you've crawled back out from under your hate-rock. I suppose you and your ilk will train Jewish Israelis to clean toilets and other low skill labour once you segregate the Palestinian workers. Guess you don't ride the bus much, eh chica?

If there is overcrowding, more buses should be added - for EVERYONE.. If there are no security problems, there is no need to create an apartheid bus system.

regular mixed lines! This is apartheid plain and simple. It is criminal and it is WRONG! Not enough to feel ashamed. It is time to write to both the government and the bus line and demand that this NOT happen.

The buses are over-crowded and after half the bus fills up with palestinians Jews are unable to get on the bus and have to wait another hour for the next bus. Another problem is the over crowded buses can make you feel ill when the air conditioner does not work which is about 70% of the time.

Oh, wait a second, are these news? lol

How STUPID of you!! Are you even human? (if yes, a not very smart one) Everything in nature in linked. We can't isolate ourselves from the world, we would dye. NOTHING!! did you hear me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G!! absolutely NOTHING in this universe is self efficient (that's even a law of physics). Our earth relies on a balance, in which every being has a role to play, and exists only through the existence of another being. We need one another. Keep your hate in America and don't spread it in my country, we've had enough, we Israelis want peace. Peace and living in harmony is all what we want.

Duh! Go outside shar shchem or better take the rakevet all the way to pizgat zeev and you see them already. These are not school busses or tourist but regular transport. BTW some of these are also segregated with men in front and women in back! Someone told me that there was no such thing, but I have taken pictures of these busses. So how do you disprove this? BTW I go not photo shop iPhone pix .

As they uniform and clearly marked. Also the use of word pirate make believe it is one or two busses. There are at least 50 uniformly painted, numbered busses running now for at least 15 years.

If not apartheid the just old fashioned Jim Crow. Hasbaraniks: go teach diaspora college students to defend this one. Stupid is as stupid does.

People have been following the news of rioting in the West Bank recently, correct? Isn't the idea behind rioting to commit violent crimes? I'm enjoying reading the fake agonizing over "racism", etc. Please continue.

It will give Israel haters more reasons to call it an apartheid state!

Rosa Parks pictures must be displayed on those buses. Where is democracy and they are still crying that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. LOL

Stop Palestians workers from coming in to Israel give the Jobs to Israelis. You want illegal immigration like Mexicans into the US it won't be a Jewish State very long.

No, Sean, it wouldn't make much difference. Past experience has shown that suicide bombers don't care who they kill, as long as they kill someone.

As Jews aren't allowed to live in palestinian areas in the West Bank by palestinian authorities means these buses are to cater only palestinians, however Israel have 20% Arabs who can use any Israeli buses. This is certainly apartheid, imposed on Jews by Jews.
