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.n Bnei Beraq - A kosher bus has been introduced to an ultra-orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv to keep men and women apart, the daily Maariv reported. The front seats of the Dan company bus in Bnei Beraq are reserved for men while women must sit at the back.
Local rabbis praised the policy which it said "avoids arousing the basest instincts in our men". However, an MP from the left-wing Meretz party, Naomi Hazan, demanded a ban on the "shameful" separation of the sexes by the bus company. "In a world advancing toward the 21st century, Dan is sinking back into the 19th," she said.
