Are there any similarities, if any, between Israel's latest Palestinian-only bus lines after Jewish settlers complained, and apartheid South Africa and pre-MLK America?

Answer:
The article is outdated: there are no Palestinian-only bus lines. There are, however, Express bus lines from Palestinian villages (which are Jew-free) to the border crossing. Jews are allowed to board these, but see no reason too, so the lines are effectively Jew-free. The response to the bus lines by Palestinians has been extremely positive! The lines are express so they are faster and don't stop at Jewish villages, and are cheaper than the private taxis. Oddly enough, many Palestinians like the bus lines due to their own racism, as they report enjoying the fact that there are no Jews on the buses. Source: http://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-buses-draw-peace-camp-ire-but-get-nod-from-riders/ It's tempting to depict the Israel-Arab conflict with Israelis as "White" and Palestinians as "Black," but the reality is that Palestinians and Arabs are just as capable of racism as anyone else, and that Israelis are far more racially and ethnically and religiously diverse than the Palestinians. The only apartheid in the regime is the Palestinian government's insistence that their future nation be devoid of Jews, though that's more ethnic cleansing than apartheid.

To quote the Brown vs. Board of Education opinion: We conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Replace education with buses, and the statement is still valid.
