(Commentary) Michael J. Totten - "I can call a president of the United States anything in the book," Helen Thomas said at an anti-Arab-bias workshop in Detroit, "but I can't touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank. No American would tolerate that - white-only roads." She's right that no American would tolerate white-only roads. Israelis, likewise, would never tolerate roads for Jews only. That's why such roads don't exist. The roads she's referring to in the West Bank are Israeli, and they're not just for Jews. Israeli Arabs can drive on them, and so can non-Jewish foreigners, including Arab and Muslim foreigners. Palestinians were once able to drive on them but have not been allowed to do so since the second intifada, when suicide bombers used them to penetrate Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in order to massacre people. There are also, by the way, Palestinian roads in the West Bank that Israelis can't use. 2010-12-07 08:16:13Full Article
