Morning Edition, February 12, 2007 · A group of Israeli women are fighting back against what one called "Taliban-like" Jewish fundamentalists who order women to sit in the back of the bus and to abstain from wearing "immodest" clothing on public bus lines used primarily by ultra-Orthodox Jews. The women have filed a lawsuit in Israel's High Court aimed at reforming the bus lines. Some of the women see the bus dispute as part of a larger struggle against the growing influence and radicalization of the ultra-Orthodox in Israel.

This was probably a set up but they're asking for it.
