Unbelievable - israelis physically enter and rob ramallah banks of $30m cash

This just goes on getting worse.
"Israeli troops and secret service agents raided four Arab banks yesterday and seized $30m (£16m) in cash that they claimed had been sent by Iran, Syria and Lebanese Hizbollah militants to fund Palestinian fighters......
...The raid was directed by the Shin Bet security service, which checked hundreds of accounts with the help of bank computer staff arrested the night before. Agents took the money from the vaults,....."
Did you get that ? they actually
"checked hundreds of accounts with the help of bank computer staff arrested the night before"
please, please, close your eyes, imagine the scene. What are your feelings as a palestinian bank clerk, forced at gunpoint to violate the privacy of your clients and compatriots ? Then watch them physically robbed after you have been forced to open the vaults. By a foreign army. Doubtless revelling in their power to impose maximum humiliation.
Does it not remind you of the Nazis going through jewish bank accounts ?
Then they PHYSICALLY CARRIED $30m out of the vaults !
The report then adds
"Israel said it will donate the confiscated money to Palestinian humanitarian relief projects"
But of course. They don't actually need this money, they get more than $6000m per annum from the US tax payer to fund their own terror activities.
The important thing is to drive the palestinians further into desperation, hopelessness, poverty and impotence.
Lets imagine what sort of perverted Israeli-controlled propagandised "Palestinian humanitarian relief projects" will receive this money, if anyone does.
If this vile illegal robbery is to go unpunished, then at least the sum should be handed to the UN for fair distribution.
Notice how we have been brainwashed. We no longer even expect anything done by Israel to be done within the framework of law as we know it. In other countries, before you violate an individuals bank account, before you confiscate his funds, there is a legal process. There is a hearing - a defence can be put up - an explanation is considered. Not in Israel. In Israel, if you are just suspected of a crime, you are not tried - it is not proved - you are executed by missile in a market place, killing others around you. Then your relatives homes are bulldozed. Even at the height of IRA bombings, the UK never did this.
Notice please, these acts are not carried out by crazed individuals, or by an organisation of fanatics. But by a modern state, in full control of its forces, and claiming to be civilsed and democratic.
Authorised by a leader who can stop or start all these acts with one movement of his finger.
No palestinian can do that.

And your claim that this is a "unique" "crime" is utter bollocks too. Arafat has embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars from the money he's been receiving for the gullible twats at the EU, diverting them into terror funding and his own personal coffers. And, let's not forget this classic example of state bank robbery from the not-too-distant past:
Saddam hoard 'funds insurgency'
Troops have found millions of US dollars stashed in Baghdad
Money that Saddam Hussein withdrew from the Iraqi Central Bank may be funding attacks on coalition forces in Iraq, say US officials.
Iraq's toppled leader apparently authorised the removal of about $1bn in US dollar notes on three trucks hours before bombs began to fall on Baghdad.
Most of the money has been recovered, but some $132m is still missing, US officials told ABC News.
That money may be being used to bolster the resistance campaign, they said.
Saddam's younger son Qusay - killed by US forces in July - is said to have collected the money in the early hours of 19 March.
According to the ABC News report, he obtained the funds by producing a simple handwritten authorisation from Saddam Hussein, later found by US agents in the bank's files.
They have concluded the note is genuine after consulting captured Iraqi officials, including the former finance minister Hikmat Ibrahim al-Azzawi.
Security guards reportedly loaded the notes - packed in stainless briefcases, each holding $1m to $2m - onto three flatbed trucks.
A day later, on 20 March, the US bombardment of Baghdad began.

Woefully one sided remarks

If these supporters of this outrageous act can only offer lies or vague references to the US invasion of Iraq as justification, then is it any wonder the world is becoming anti-Zionist? Is it any wonder that the world has no more patience with Israeli terror tactics? Is it any wonder that we hold in total disdain those that choose to apologize for such lawlessness?
How ironic that the same day the world press is filled with pleas to Christians to avoid anti-Semitic feelings from watching The Passion, we read of the armed robbery of 4 international banks by the Jewish government. A movie will not engender hatred, but surely these outrageous acts will....

Millions of dollars were taken, how many million is open to debate but how much does a suicide bombing cost? Why would they need millions if these people are "fanatics"?
Oi!
