she was slapped, kicked, punched and pushed by a group of men who demanded that she sit in the back of the bus with the other women. The bus driver, in response to a media inquiry, denied that violence was used against her, but Shear's account has been substantiated by an unrelated eyewitness on the bus who confirmed that she sustained an unprovoked "severe beating."
What's even more appalling is that the other passengers considered her to be at fault, and didn't bother to help and defend her.
Before this news item I didn't even know Israelis practised segregation. How awful. I find it insufferable.
