Sunday was Rosh Chodesh Tammuz 1. Today, Monday, is Tammuz 2 — you people should be careful to use Jewish details appropriately, and if you never learned in yeshivas, then have others look over your articles before publishing them — otherwise you will spread am ha’artzus and ridicule Jewish knowledge for no reason.

This is not talking about situations where the back door is more sensibly used-like for strollers for example. This is talking about where all women must get on at the back of the bus “where they belong” the idea that a woman cannot sit on the opposite side of the isle is ludicrous. The idea that an old lady cannot get a seat closer to the front of the bus while the back of the bus is full and there are empty seats in the back is insane. You don’t want to look at women-stay inside or hire your own bus. Just because you are insane doesn’t mean the country has to bend to your every request. Sit down-take a seat. If you see a woman standing because 2 guys are now taking up 4 seats-combine and let the woman sit down. I don’t think men and woman should sit next to each other (even though there are many stories of gedolim who sat next to women) that doesn’t mean that the women should be delegated to the back of the bus.

Are we talking about the bus driver sees one passenger that wants to get on – a woman- and only opens the back door and not the front one for her because other than that situation it’s not clear how they could monitor or enforce something like this. Unlike some buses in Ch”ul the only pace you can pay on an egged bus is in the front so even if a lady gets on via the back she still has to walk up the aisle to the front to pay anyway. If the driver let’s her on without coming up to pay and then an inspector comes on to scan everyone’s rav kav cards he’ll see a passenger didn’t pay and I’m assuming the driver will get in trouble so I’m sure drivers won’t let people get on the back and stay back there anyway. Sounds like some politicians are just looking for a fight when there needn’t be one. Maybe after the failure of peace talks everyone knew wouldn’t work Ms. Livni needs to find a justification for her paycheck

Where does the extra money for the extra inspectors come from? For incitement against chareidim there is no shortage of money or manpower!

This will cause gender discrimination when all those mothers are forced to get their carriages on at the front of the bus and clog the aisles. Have you ever tried to get past 2 or three baby carriages on a bus?

Will they allow gender specific seating in banquet halls, schools, shuls, etc? Will it be permissable for non-profit organizations (NGOs) to make distinctions based on gender.
Is there a future for Judaism (as defined by Bnei Torah, based on halacha) in the zionist state, or is it time to consider the alternatives.
