Israeli government tactics are looking more and more like a hand-me-downs from WWII

Israel to launch 'Palestinians-only' bus service
across the border of the West Bank towards Tel Aviv

Quote:
The Israeli government will on Monday begin operating a "Palestinians-only" bus service
to ferry Palestinian workers from the West Bank to Israel, encouraging them to use it
instead of travelling with Israeli settlers on a similar route.
<snip>
The Israeli civil rights group, Checkpoint Watch, which monitors the army's treatment
of Palestinians at West Bank checkpoints has reported recent incidents of Palestinians
being ejected from buses and told they were not allowed to board them.

In 2011 Palestinian activists were arrested after they boarded Israeli buses
in the West Bank to protest against segregation.
Will the next step be to require these passengers to wear a arm-band ?
