Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Israel Arrests Dozens in West Bank amid Ongoing Violence

HeadlineOct 20, 2015

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is visiting Israel and the Occupied Territories today amid a spate of Palestinian stabbing attacks and an intensified Israeli crackdown. In the latest violence, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man near Hebron in the occupied West Bank after they say he tried to stab an Israeli soldier. In a separate incident near Hebron today, an Israeli man was run over and killed by a Palestinian truck driver, who later turned himself in and said it was an accident. Overnight, Israeli security forces arrested more than 30 Palestinians in the West Bank, including top Hamas official Hassan Yousef, whom the Israeli government accuses of inciting the recent violence.
