Holy Jim Crow: An Israeli Salafi Racist Railroad for Kosher Men and Halal Women………
“The company running Jerusalem's planned new light railway, already under attack for issuing a "racist" questionnaire to potential passengers, was facing fresh criticism yesterday for suggesting it would operate "kosher" men and women-only carriages. The Jerusalem municipality has sent a strongly worded letter to CityPass, the consortium behind the railway, due to open next year, saying it was "flabbergasted" by a questionnaire sent to members of the public asking if they would be bothered by Palestinian passengers joining its trains. The questionnaire pointed out that the new railway would have three stops in Shuafat, a district of Arab East Jerusalem, asking: "Does this bother you?" It added: "All passengers, Jews and Arabs, can enter the trains freely, without undergoing a security check. Does this bother you?"……………..” The Independent (UK)
“Kosher men and women only carriages”? Does this mean they are virgin or something like that? Or does it mean they are just celibate and abstinent for the time being?
And I had thought only Muslim countries (and parts of the Southern and Western United States) were plagued by extremist Salafi ideology.
Interesting the question about “Jews and Arabs can enter the trains freely, without undergoing a security check. Does this bother you?” Just take out “Arab” and replace with “Black” or even “Latino”, and see it in a different perspective.
