<p style="font-size:10pt;">WEST BANK, (PIC)&#8211; The American Time  magazine said in a report that the West Bank appears in some respects  ripe for revolution, especially since the Fatah-controlled Palestinian  authority (PA) is notorious for its corruption, tyranny and antinational  stands.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Time in its issue on Monday stated that  the PA headed by Mahmoud Abbas is deeply concerned that the West  Bankers, encouraged by what is happening in Egypt, might revolt against  it, especially after Al-Jazeera satellite channel exposed confidential  papers about its peace talks with Israel.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Three times in the past two weeks, the PA  security forces dispersed young Palestinians demonstrating in solidarity  with the crowds in Cairo and Tunis.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The last repressive act against West Bank  young citizens happened Wednesday night, when a small group who  assembled near the lion sculptures of Ramallah&#8217;s central square, were  attacked with police batons. The next day a police spokesman warned that  unlicensed gatherings could bring chaos, according to the magazine.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Meanwhile, amid media blackout in the West  Bank, the PA security militias continued its arrest campaign against  Hamas cadres and supporters and kidnapped four of them on Monday from  Assira village in Nablus district.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Two other citizens affiliated with Hamas were also kidnapped on the same day in Salfit and Jenin cities.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In Tulkarem, the militia handed a  Palestinian family a summons addressed to its son Jaber Dawud ordering  him to turn himself in after his release from Israeli jails on the first  of June 2011.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The PA intelligence apparatus, for its  part, transferred Sheikh Hasan Manasra from his prison to the hospital  in the aftermath of his exposure to torture at the hands of  interrogators, according to his family.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The family added that Sheikh Manasra sustained serious injuries in his ears and eyes after he was severely beaten in his face.</p>
