Banks Accept Dubai Assassins' Stolen IDs

Posted by kdawson on from the beyond-naked-in-public dept.

schliz writes "Public scrutiny did more harm than good last week, after Australian police and the media released details of three stolen passports allegedly used in the assasination of a senior Hamas member in Dubai. As if having their identities stolen for an assassination wasn't enough, it turns out the victims' passports had not been cancelled by the government, so the details that were published by the media in fact could be used to open fraudulent bank accounts."

    They've created each other - it's truly bizzare that some people in Israel grew up to be genocidal fascists and that they they even managed to get into government. Timing an invasion and then a pogrom in the Gaza ghetto for elections helped them stay in power, and it was counterproductive since any moderate voice on the other side became irrelevant.
    The country deserves neither and is the only place in that part of the world where there is anything resembling the rule of law, even if it comes with something resembling apartheid
