4/2: Ramallah haul

According to the Israeli Defense Force's own site at www.idf.il this is a picture of some of the haul from Arafat's headquarters, including mortars and some heavy-duty stuff. All of it weaponry that, according to them, he is not supposed to have, according to previous negotiations.

I know, I know... here I am single-sourcing information from what is probably the most biased source anywhere. I can't help it! Someone pointed to www.idf.il and I thought the images there were pretty amazing. The problem is, whomever manages the site doesn't understand that 1 MB GIF images are inappropriate for web viewing. I've converted that one to JPG and it's now about 35k. Any crappiness of the image is their fault.

They're also saying they've found a cache of counterfeit Israeli money, and documents that show some of the connections that paid for this loot.

If this is not fake, it's amazing. If this IS fake, it's amazing too.
