Israelian apartheid bus-system

[The Voice of Time]

It seems Israelis have such a distaste of their neighbours that a semi-formal (semi because it's not affecting all bus systems) apartheid bus-system has been made. I find this move outrageous. That Israel is an apartheid state isn't big news, they've been that all the way back to th 1948 Palestinian exodus, 1949–1956 Palestinian exodus, and the 1967 Palestinian exodus, but the fact that it moves backwards in time when it comes to social policies, the fact that Israel chooses to be a backwards state in matters of social progress, is disturbing, and only boils down to more racism, more prejudice, more "them and not we", more social angst versus Arab strangers (specified xenophobia), and it will lead to less mercy, less understanding and less empathy, for both sides of the coin.

so you encourage people to be afraid? Because some few crazy individuals do shit you should be afraid of an entire people? That's extremely racist an idea. That's like the arch-type of xenophobia. And worst of all: it's cowardice, and to the facts of the matter irrational, because the chance of experiencing bombing attacks are minimal, and the chance increases the more you segregate the population and hardens the barriers of communication.

fear has nothing to do with it

turn the other cheek - and die; or bite the hand that slaps?

your sentence has nothing to do with what is being discussed.

Just because Great Britain controlled Palestine before 1948 did not give it the right to turn over control to an imaginary Israel anymore than the U.S. government could turn over control of America to a group of displaced people wanting to rename it and establish their own government.

Bob, learn some history, originally the Arabs agreed to divide the area into two states, including that land that had been purchased from Arabs and the Ottomans by Jews. One part was to remain Arab the other Israeli. The Arabs then renaged on this deal, greedily insisting that all the land must be Arab. Prior to British control the land was under the control of the Ottomans.

My appologies, I am dislexic and have to rely heavily on spell checkers, as I belive I informed you once before, when your pedancy got the better of you

Medical Dictionary
dyslexia dys·lex·i·a (dĭs-lěk'sē-ə)
n.
A learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words.

Does dyslexia also impair the ability to recognize and comprehend written ideas? Just wondering. (Please, oh, please don't report this as abuse!)

Sorry, Bob the Baptist has no mental disabilities, confirmed by "The Ouzo Prophecy," of which you have not the slightest comprehension.

Wow, talk about struggling with conceptual understanding, you can't even understand how to play Ouzo, the simplest game in the world, much less understanding "The Ouzo Prophecy," a simple four-page message from God.

Incorrect, I fully understand your text, it is of no value
