Note that it doesn't prevent Israelis from wiring money to mt.gox from their personal accounts. It just means there won't be legit bitcoin exchanges based out of Israel.

That's not what I understood from OP. It seems that banks are forbidding people to send money to MtGox.

Whoa, if true, this would be quite significant, and one of the more oppressive Bitcoin-related restrictions to date

+1 The most oppressive, no doubt. So far only business were being censored, never individuals.

Welcome to the UK. This has been the case here for years.

Note that it doesn't prevent Israelis from wiring money to mt.gox from their personal accounts. It just means there won't be legit bitcoin exchanges based out of Israel.

Still a scum-bag move, however.

Whoa, if true, this would be quite significant, and one of the more oppressive Bitcoin-related restrictions to date: a blanket ban on all monetary interactions with Japan!?  I'd guess either the report is missing some details or something was lost in the translation, perhaps one of our Israeli members can shed some light?

"Banks in Israel against bitcoin ': Jonah Liibzon, Israeli banks are struggling virtual currency holders. In some branches of banks began to restrict this coin changers, whose value soared in recent months, and is not subject to any government control. Bitcoin dealers "are no longer authorized to transfer or receive dollars from Japan, where most trading takes place in the industry."
