There's a straightforward way to solve the problem of Israeli banks blocking international wires to foreign Bitcoin exchange accounts:

1) Locate Chinese and Russian importers willing to pay for Israeli exported goods with Bitcoin.

2) Accept BTC from foreign customers, sell BTC on domestic exchanges for NIS.

Important to note: their are resisting by forbidding their individual clients to wire money to MtGox.

This is an unprecedented attack. Previous attacks targeted the exchanges themselves.

They'll only increase tension with such actions.
