Will the International Securities regulators pull their planned conference in tel Aviv, Israel, to protest Israeli efforts to combat terrorism? According to a report in Globes: “Sources inform ”Globes” that the Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) threatened to cancel its 34th Annual Conference scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv in June, in protest against Operation Cast Lead. Following efforts by the Israel Securities Authority, the conference will take place. The Securities Authority is hosting the IOSCO, reflecting its respect among its international peers. At a previous IOSCO conference, former Securities Authority chairman Moshe Terry strove hard to persuade IOSCO officials to hold the conference in Israel.”

Humm… It sounds to be like the organization is trying to deflect criticism of their role in the financial mess, by entering the realm of politics, and blaming Israel, for defending herself. How about protecting investors from the Madoff’s and Sanford’s of the world and leave Israel alone?
