UPDATED 01/31/2012  BBC, Israeli woman [Tanya Rosenblit] who refused to move to the back of a bus (podcast) and Haaretz, It's time to end Israel's war of culture and religion

Israel's ultra orthodox religious extremists' (Haredi are 10% of Israel's population) practice segregating women, not unlike America's historical practice of segregating blacks—whether Israel will require a civil war to end this and related inimical practices remains to be seen—the good news is that Israel has a Rosa Parks.

In any event our nation must make clear its condemnation of all practices that discriminate against women.
