Arabesque

Here’s a story for you folks playing at home.

I was taking a bus home on Saturday night from Givat Ze’ev (a settlement near Jlem). The bus weaves in and out of the settlement. At some point a couple of arab boys got on the bus. Just as the bus was about the re-enter the settlement it was stopped at the gate and the guard stepped on. He looked at each person on the bus and then stopped in front of the arab boys. He then got into a discussion with them (I wasn’t really listening) but it was evident that he didn’t want them coming into the yishuv. After about 10 minutes of tooing and froing the bus driver got involved and it was settled that the arabs could stay on the bus as long as the guard would stay on the bus with them until it leaves the yishuv, which was roughly 1 minute, as it circles the roundabout at the entrance to the yishuv picked up one passenger and then left to return to Jlem.

Disgraceful.

The thing is, if you asked the shomer he may say you can’t trust them, they may be terrorists.

The other thing is, if you asked the arab boys they may say that they’re terrorists b/c of Israeli oppression.

Sounds kinda cyclic to me.

p.s. 10 points if you get the pic.

p.p.s. I'm going to Beit Lechem today
