Criminal Law

On Second Try, US Wins Convictions Against Hamas-tied Charity

    • A Joe Fish? A John Doe? Go Fish!

    • justice is served. these criminals got two trials and they were convicted by a jury of their peers. Case closed.

    • In a country where Muslims and Arabs are so gratuitously vilified, they have no peers to form a jury that can look at evidence objectively.

    • The first mis-trial suggests that this was not a slam-dunk for prosecutors as you infer. It's simply about the money trail - if you can connect the dots between American pocket books and terrorist in the middle-east, then any juror bias effect is reduced.

    • You gotta love the persistent denial of the families and supporters that are convinced the money goes to save lives.

      I'm not sure if it's the religion of culture that allows for such belief in those that are deceitful. They will go to their graves in denial no matter how many bombs and weapons are supplied or how many dead bodies are produced.

    • Inquire with Muslims and Arabs in Europe. The gratuitous vilification you speak of exists on far greater levels than in America.

    • This trial continues U.S. pro-Israel,anti-Arab,anti-Muslim bigotry the same way that the Zionist controlled U.S. government went after Dr. Sami Al-Arian.The government spent 15 years(at what cost?)and what were the crimes? Holy Land "...financed schools, hospitals and social welfare programs controlled by Hamas." Notice the prosecution's key witness-an Israeli government lawyer who was allowed to testify anonymously. All this case is is more U.S. elected officials pandering to the powerful Israel lobby.

    • Nonsense:

      Muslims and Arabs choose to come here. If they are "so gratuitously vilified" as you say, then maybe they should re-think that choice. Also, by choosing live in America, they take the chance that if they are accused of a crime, Americans will be on the jury. Finally, they always could have waived their right to a trial by jury.

    • So Muslim (of all ethnicities, not just Arabs) who have heard that the U.S. is a tolerant place, that have visited here for school or work and fell in love with the country, or who are fleeing from the dangers in their home lands should just accept that they will be targeted by the government for giving to charities that finance humanitarian efforts?

    • Muslims should not come to America thinking they will be targeted because that is not what happens as characterized by some. Muslims should come to America knowing that they will find a better life. However they and everyone else should come knowing that if they financially support terrorist organizations that indoctrinate youth and murder innocent civilians then they will be prosecuted.

    • Hamas is a genocide machine, one of the most heinous the world has seen in dozens of years. It rather see its people starve and bombard innocent Israeli citizens in recognized international borders, in the hope of killing them, so they can celebrate the blood of human beings who are not following the "false prophet"'s way. It's a doctrine of the middle ages. Hamas has nothing to do with charity. The only charity it does is building suicide bomb belts, digging tunnels to stack weapons, and breeding more suicide bomber kids. Hamas is the quintessence of Evil.

      Nice to see this correct verdict for a a change.


    • Ray Gordon; you’re right about the Zionist controlled US Government, controlled by a cabal of Israeli agents turning the dials in the secret control room buried under the White House. They all conspired to convict those nice Hamas men in Dallas. But not for those evil AUSAs and the Israeli-Zionist controlled jury, the Hamas operatives would be busy watching Martha Stewart to perfect their craft of making delicious cookies and pies for the holidays. .... Oh.... maybe not Ray.... do you think those nice Hamas boys were watching Martha on how to make holiday suicide bomber vests? They’re sweet young boys, Ray. It couldn’t be true.

    • I wonder if our government will pursue the investigation of Jewish officials of Lehman Bros.,including the despicable CEO Richard Fuld,who are suspected of transferring $400 billion of Lehman money to several banks in Israel just before Lehman went bankrupt.These officials knew that Israel has strict bank secrecy laws and they knew that they could quietly move to Israel to take advantage of Israel's refusal to extradite Jews to other countries.I am not holding my breath waiting for our Zionist owned government officials to investigate Jews the same way they investigate Muslims.

    • On second try us wins convictions against hamas tied charity.. Tiptop :)
