#1 caught by the Pal Border Police. Aside from showing how desperate Hamas is for cash, another sign of things heating up between Hamas and Fatah.

#2 We do not intend to make one step backward.

That is an impossibility, seeing as how the Palestinians are already the most backwards people on earth.

#3 There's something you're all overlooking.
Hiding 8ooK in your clothes means they have to be large denomination bills (Unless you want to look like Santa Claus)
So just how does this help, you have no way to change the bills to lower denomination, they've been saying there's NO money, so unless you plan to make purchases at a thousand bucks a pop, what's the use.

To expand on this, you can't pay salaries, buy food, gasoline, etc with thousand euro notes, so it's just somebody's private kimchee that he's trying to smuggle. And got Busted.

#4 Depends on who's retailing the arms they're buying. $800k in 500 Euronotes would do nicely for a short term arsenal.
