For 15-year-old Ariella Marsden, a £2,000 windfall earlier this month was a great result — but not because of the money.The teenager, who lives in the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh, was awarded the money as compensation after a bus driver demanded that she and two friends move seats to make way for Charedi men.

Nice! I'm surprised she won that.

I was asked to move on a shuttle to accommodate the Haredim..had to separate from my husband and sit in the back, where the religious girls physically turned their backs on me and completely ignored me for the hour ride to the airport. It sucked and I probably won't go out of my way to accommodate religious folks again like that.

That's awesome. THe Charedi do nothing to make Israel great. They expect the secular Jews to protect them and to pay them to "study". They can't then also demand that they get the best seats on the bus. As a Jew these people make me sick. THey make us all look bad.
