Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Israeli navy boarded a yacht in the Mediterranean yesterday to prevent 10 Jewish activists sailing to the Gaza Strip to protest against Israel's blockade.
Israeli naval forces boarded the Irene "without incident" 20 miles off the Gaza coast, the military said. The vessel was being towed to an Israeli port.
The voyage was organised by Jews for Justice for Palestinians, which is based in London. Those on board included an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor Reuven Moskovitz and Rami Elhanan, an Israeli whose daughter, Smadar, was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber in 1997.
