The US Post Office will deliver it to Israel for $10.50 using Global
Priority Mail if you can keep the weight down to a pound. I don't think
that would be hard with a 10baseT card and padding.

								1 pound				2 pounds

Global Express Mail				26.60				29.80
Airmail Parcel Post				16.75				19.50
Global Priority					10.50				15.75

That's not too bad, if you really wanted one.

Yeah, those Canadians have to deal with stuff like that.

I used to know a lot of ways around Canadian customs, not sure about
Israel.

Ha!  "Canadian customs"...
