Israel accused of ‘road apartheid’ in West Bank

Sadly, this isn’t very surprising. I know why Israel feels it has a moral imperative to commit such actions — they want to prevent any means that Palestinian militants can use to attack Israelis — but since these actions are usually at the expense of innocent Palestinians, there’s really no morality there. Conservative Israelis need to sit down and think about what their government is really doing, what their attitudes and behaviour are fostering, and what the bigger picture really looks like — and they have to go first, if they need a moral imperative so badly. Only then can we ever get to a path which leads to the disappearance of Hamas and their ilk, and the birth of a free Palestine co-existing with Israel for mutual benefit.
