Stanley Fischer, Governor of the Bank of Israel, permits Israeli banks to enact, adjudicate, and enforce the law under the color of FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). Effectively, Fischer established Israel as a lawless US corporate province.
Bank HaPoalim's Chief Internal Auditor Jacob Orbach;Stanley Fischer, Governor of Bank of Israel, showing off his newly acquired Israeli ID in 2005. Petition in the Israeli High Court of Justice alleged that Stanley Fischer exchanged his loyalty to the State of Israel and its laws with loyalty to another nation and its laws and/or loyalty to financial institutions and their interests. FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) is a US law, which fancies to subject any bank, worldwide, to the US government, force banks the to report any financial transactions by any "US Person", and serve as the US government's tax collector under threat of serious sanctions.
Jerusalem, February 12 - in a letter to Bank HaPoalim's Chief Internal Auditor Jacob Orbach, Joseph Zernik, PhD, a Human Rights activist/computer science writer, asks Mr Orbach to provide clarifications regarding the status of Dr Zernik's bank accounts today.
On or about January 1, 2012, Dr Zernik's bank
accounts with Bank HaPoalim, BM, were frozen. On or about January 31, 2013, his banks
accounts were unfrozen, after a meeting with the German Consul in Israel to request protection against abuse of
the Human Rights of a Human Rights activist/computer science writer in Jerusalem .
A recent letter from Bank of
Israel-Banking Regulation, on behalf of Governor Stanley Fischer, makes it
clear: first - that conduct of Bank HaPoalim, BM, in Dr Zernik's case had no basis in
the law of the State of Israel, and second - that Bank of Israel-Banking
Regulation had no intention of according Dr Zernik equal protection under the law of
the State of Israel. [[1]]
A recent opinion letter by Attorney
James Jatras, of the Washington , DC , law firm Squire Sanders, LLP, makes it clear that conduct
of Bank HaPoalim, BM, in Dr Zernik's case had no basis in the law of the United States ,
either. [[2]]
Correspondence with Mr Orbach's office makes
it clear that the FATCA-related "New Policy" of Bank HaPoalim, which
was purported as the basis for the Bank's conduct, is a non-existing document. Moreover, to this date, Bank HaPoalim refuses
to issue any written record, documenting the freezing, or unfreezing of Dr Zernik's accounts. [[3,4]]
Therefore, given the arbitrary and capricious
nature of the Bank's conduct, Dr Zernik wrote to request further explanation by Mr Orbach, regarding the status of Dr Zernik's accounts with Bank HaPoalim, BM, today.
The questions raised by Dr Zernik were:
1)
Was the restoration of access to his own funds in Bank
HaPoalim's accounts temporary or permanent?
If temporary, under what circumstances would the Bank decide to freeze his accounts again?
2) Dr Zernik permitted, like other citizens and residents of the State
of Israel to buy and sell securities, or is he barred by Bank HaPoalim from
executing such transactions in his accounts, as he had been previously advised
by the Private Banking clerk?
3)
On January 14, 2013, Dr Zernik completed his duties, pursuant to the
law of the United States , to
renounce my US
citizenship. On the same date, he provided the relevant documents to Bank
HaPoalim's Branch, Kikar Zion, Jerusalem ,
and asked to open a non-"US Person" account, alternatively, to remove
the "US Person" designation from his existing accounts. Bank HaPoalim
refused to do either. Based on what
standards would the Bank remove the "US Person" designation from Dr Zernik's accounts? Or is the "US Person" designation permanent and
non-removable, according to Bank HaPoalim?
The letter notes that the questions pertain to Dr Zernik's fundamental Human Rights for possession and for protection against taking of his possessions with no due process of law. Likewise, these questions directly pertain to
integrity, or lack thereof, in Bank HaPoalim's operations.
Copies of the letter were forwarded to Bank of Israel's Stanley Fischer and to the German Federal Republic's Consul in Israel.
