How you can get around the West Bank depends on who you are. We took two bus trips, one with Palestinians and one with Israelis, that tell a story of separate and unequal roadways.

    Coates thinks he’s an expert on Israel because he took one trip sponsored by Palestinian activist organizations and openly admits that he was only there to hear one side of the story.

      Yes, there’s no apartheid streets Palestinians can’t walk on. That is all antisemitic lies made with AI, right? You’re obviously a Jewish supremacist. Go away, you lying, ethnosupremacist trash.

        Typical. Can’t engage in a discussion, huh? I’m guessing that’s because you know as much about Israel as Coates does.

        There are roads that both Israelis and Palestinians are prevented from using FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. That’s the problem with Coates’ perspective, he refuses to even ask how it got to this point. He just looks around, sees fences and soldiers acting as security guards and says, “This feels like apartheid.”
