A protestor holds a sign on November 15, 2011 at the Hizmeh checkpoint between Ramallah and Jerusalem. Six Palestinians were arrested as they tried to enter Jerusalem on an Israeli bus in a novel bid to protest what they call Israel’s discriminatory policies in the West Bank. The six activists, five men and one woman, said their protest was inspired by the ‘Freedom Riders,’ American civil rights activists who rode to the south in the 1960s to carry out work against segregation and racial discrimination.
