Mideast Israel Palestinians Bus Standoff

Israeli police officers speaks to Palestinian activist Hawaida Arraf, one of six who boarded a bus belonging to the Israeli bus company Egged, after it reached the Hizma checkpoint before entering Jerusalem, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011. Six Palestinian activists, defiantly clutching national flags and surrounded by dozens of reporters, were dragged off an Israeli bus that they were hoping would lead them to Jerusalem, after an hours-long stand off with police on Tuesday. The Palestinians said they boarded the Israeli bus in a widely advertised action, hoping to draw attention what they say are discriminatory measures in the West Bank, particularly travel restrictions.(AP Photo/Diaa Hadid)
