Israel abducts another 37 Palestinians in West Bank raids
Al-Akhbar Management
Israeli occupation forces abducted another 37 Palestinians overnight Monday, bringing to at least 361 the number of Palestinians arrested since Israel launched a deadly crackdown on the West Bank 10 days ago.
There were no reports of clashes between the soldiers and Palestinians in the violent raids in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where the military says it has detained 361 people since three Israeli settlers went missing on June 12.
But Palestinian figures put the arrest toll at 471, including 11 legislators, in a crackdown that targeted hundreds of homes, NGO offices, charities, universities and media organizations, local news agency Ma'an reported.
Israeli occupation forces have also killed five Palestinians, including two teenagers, since the crackdown began.
The soldiers have shot dead four Palestinians, including two on Sunday, and a fifth man died of a heart attack trying to prevent occupation forces from breaking into his home.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinians' main ruling body, said in a statement that Israel had "tightened and sometimes closed checkpoints," disrupting travel, and had barred any entry or exit from Hebron in the past 10 days.
Israeli rights groups on Sunday wrote to Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon to denounce the crackdown which they branded "collective punishment" and a violation of basic rights.

All of this based on a RUSE of a kidnapping. This behavious is despicable, by the Israelis, and the world is standing with them? When will Palestine finally be treated fairly and honestly by the international community? Why is it Israel is always and ever given special treatment, particularly when this is how they behave?
This is simply despicable and I don't know what can be done when I consider that my own government, as well as all Westerners, act as if Israel can do no wrong. I wish we had normal people representing US, but as the elections are shams (selections, by the Israelis and the dual-Iz/Amer citizens), it feels all is lost. I could not even imagine living in Palestine, given the insanity of the settlers (and they are ALL settlers, who really do not belong there.)
The more I read about these events, the more I believe the whole of the alleged, "Kidnappings" was faked. The whole of the staged, "kidnappings" seems to be another pretext for destroying the unified government and further disrupting lives of persons in the Hebron and the West Bank.
Strange how I just knew that this was a faked abduction! Thank you for being discerning as well! We are becoming wise in our hearts!
See PressTV Kevin Barretts debate with Zionists.
I lasted till 10;37 of the link to Press TV.
Same 'ol "poor me/bad America/SA/Israel".
On the one hand the moron says that the US didn't do enough to stop the carnage when It started In Syria and then says that the US Is not In control of the situation. Had the US got Involved with a heavy hand and saved tens of thousands of Innocent victims killed , mind you, by Muslims, you'd still have something stupid to complain about.
It Is Pavlovian reflex- Suni kill Shi'a kill Suni kill Druze kill Christian kill Alawi'i kill Zaydi kill Kurds etc..and you all blame outside political forces. If you feel you are duped by the US and Israel, to fight one another, then why won't you just say "we will not be puppets and we will stop butchering our brothers and sisters. Nah!! better not. Who will you be able to blame for your Infantile archaic tribal need to prove "my Dar al Islam Is the true one, die you Infidel".
