| Opposition to Israeli buses in Waterland |
| 2011-07-16 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Israeli public transport company Egged has won the public tender to operate a regional bus service in the region of Waterland – just north of Amsterdam – from the end of this year. ...The Dutch action group 'Working Together for Palestine’ says Egged clearly supports Israel’s controversial settlements policy. One of the activists says in Trouw that “ Egged makes money from trampling on the rights of Palestinians.” The action group would prefer to call for a boycott against Egged’s bus service in the Netherlands, but will refrain from such a move because there is no alternative bus service in Waterland. A principled attitude. |
