As if there were any doubt that Israel is an apartheid state:

At the Hizma checkpoint on Jerusalems northern outskirts, Israeli police boarded the bus for identity checks and asked one of the Palestinians, Badia Dweik of Hebron, whether he had a permit to enter Jerusalem.
Why dont you ask the settlers for a permit? Dweik replied, referring to the Israeli passengers. Its my right to ride the bus. This is racism. Im just like them.
No permit, no entry, a military policewoman told him. After Dweik refused to get off the bus, a group of officers tried to drag him off, but he went limp at the narrow doorway, thwarting the initial attempt to arrest him.
Nadim Sharabati from Hebron, sitting next to Dweik, was also told to get off. Do you demand permits from settlers who come to our area? he asked. A policeman replied, Those are the laws.
Those are racist laws, Sharabati said. Tell me, isnt this racist discrimination between me and the settlers?
