   The Road to Equality, 2011 &amp; 1961    In November 2011, Palestinian Freedom Riders boarded segregated buses in the occupied West Bank to challenge Israeli system of segregation and apartheid. The buses were reserved for Jewish Israeli settlers living in illegal settlements. The  act of civil disobedience took its inspiration from the US Civil Rights Movement Freedom Riders , who 50 years prior in 1961 had boarded interstate buses in the segregated South in an effort to enforce a US Supreme Court decision that ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional. &nbsp; &nbsp;
