So what you are saying is that if the journalist had been an ordinary non-Orthodox Jew, they would not have been asked to change their seat?No, I expect that person would have been asked to change her seat. The only difference is I'd take her side, and not the side of the other passengers. She has the right to ride the bus and sit where she pleases (conversely, if only ultra-orthodox Jews are on board the bus, they have the right to sit with gender separation if everyone on board wishes to sit that way). I take issue with a journalist going to create a story when none ought to exist under the circumstances as I believe them to be. And by the way if you don't consider yourself "Orthodox", I am curious how you would classify yourself. First, before I tell you what I consider myself to be, I'd be interested in hearing what makes you think I'm Orthodox. |
