The Times runs an AP report that tens of thousands of religious Jews staged a protest in Jerusalem over the court-ordered integration of religious schools, including schools on colonized land. This story feels like Little Rock, 60 years later, and with Palestinians having no rights at all:
Parents of European, or Ashkenazi, descent at a girls’ school in the West Bank settlement of Emanuel don’t want their daughters to study with schoolgirls of Mideast and North African descent, known as Sephardim.
The Ashkenazi parents insist they aren’t racist, but want to keep the classrooms segregated, as they have been for years, arguing that the families of the Sephardi girls aren’t religious enough.
