What a chilul hashem. Just because the Arabs get away with much worse on a daily basis doesn’t mean we will. And not posting is stealing from the Israeli buys company not the driver. Its almost as bad as refusing to pay water and electric and expecting it for free. Like the Arabs in Gaza have been doing for decades.
*not paying is stealing from Israeli bus company. Sorry about misspelling.
