1. How carefully are NGOs monitored
Baruch ,   Israel/Houston   (08.21.12)
Given that this is a Canadian group whose national church has unmasked itself as fundamentally antisemitic, are organizations such as the Presbyterian Church USA and NPR who have substantial relationships with these groups also being monitored? It would seem like the perfect foil, declare the organization as a good willed church and then use it to funnel funds to, as the Presbyterians say, "our brothers" in these organizations.
2. there is always an ottawa police car outside their doors
Trpster ,   LA PAZ, BOtLIVIA   (08.21.12)
it's an open joke in the jewish community about the characters that walk in and out of the office building that houses the Lebanese bank in Ottawa.

Does it go to victims and families of victims of those murdered or injured by Hezbollah?
5. Sadly 150mil is just loose change for Hizbollah
tf ,   herzliya il   (08.21.12)
Losing it is just a 'cost of business' as it were.
6. Hezbollah is NOT involved in...
Mike Van Harris ,   Belgium   (08.21.12)
"drug trafficking and other crimes". This is a cheap unsuccessful attempt to ruin the image of the most moral resistance group on Earth.

9. $150m = Petty cash ; they make that a day
Tambour ,   Eilat   (08.21.12)
Like the IRA and most terror gangs they resort to drugs, prostitution and racketeering , initially to finance their cause then it becomes a business. Like vermin, Hizbullah and all terror outfits ought to be exterminated with no mercy whenever possible
10. #4 You'd be suprized
Mark Papertrail ,   WallStreet Yourtown   (08.21.12)
They sit on this money untill they can clear it's usage whitout it seemingly being touched, bankers and highballing investors can create accounts to give equity and asset value to whatever concern. When they say "Money is the root to all evil" G-d didn't coin this phrase but man sure did see how other men could corrupt their souls and unbalance the scales when it comes to an honest dollar, wages paid for fair exchanges in labor. Oh somebody uses these funds to create equity for investing and holdings, lets ask the FEDS.
