Between two worlds: The unique situation of East Jerusalem Palestinians

[Little Tich]

4. I think a better comparison would comparing Palestinians in East Jerusalem with black Americans in

in the South during the Jim Crow era.

In both cases the low socioeconomic status was enforced from above as a system of discrimination. Actually, the Arabs probably have it worse, as they don't have civil rights, which means that they can't do sit-ins or demonstrate for their constitutional rights. At least black people were allowed to be judged in the same courts as whites, the kangaroo part being prejudice and unfair interpretations of law.

I think that the comparison with ultra-orthodox is false - they're not oppressed by Apartheid or unfair application of the law.
