Don't know if this has been mentioned at all yet, but I just came across this on HardOCP. That shouldn't hurt Bitcoin to much.

This is good stuff. Although I wasn't planning to sell or buy any BTC, I'll sign up as an exchange just in case anyone in my area wants to get into BTC (it's a bit difficult from Israel right now).
We've done a few trades with Israel. I can put you in contact with a few people we trust over there if you want.
If it's large transfers it's not bad, if it's small then you take a beating from the banks.

Thanks Jered. In fact my reply was accidental, I meant to reply to this wonderful post. In Israel I currently know only bitcoil, and they appear to be closed for the time being. Do you know anyone else who'se exchanging? I just wanted to help support the local bitcoin community, not actively looking to exchange money.
Also, I was hoping TradeHill would start supporting ILS ... any idea when that's going to happen? (I realize we're a small and relatively insignificant market, but I wouldn't want us to be left behind)
