Only in Israel

Another only in Israel story for your reading pleasure. Late night bus from Jerusalem. The driver, an Arab, is annoyed by the conduct of some of the unruly passengers and intentionally misses stops. The passengers start yelling at him. He yells back. A near melee ensures. Passengers are pounding on the glass, threatening to call police. The driver shouts at them ferociously. Children are crying from all the shouting. I don't know if it got worse from there because the person who witnessed this and told me the story got off the bus when the driver did make a stop a few miles from his apartment and found a way home.

Can that happen anywhere else in the world? I haven't been to the Congo, but I'm guessing that it's only in the Mideast and possibly only Israel.
