Mideast Israel Palestinians Bus Standoff

Palestinian demonstrators hold signs next to an Israeli soldier during a protest as activists, not seen, prepare to board a bus belonging to the Israeli bus company Egged, outside the West Bank illegal Jewish settlement of Kochav Hashakhar, 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/Nasser Shiyoukhi)
