[FLASH]http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?token=a53_1193655118[/FLASH]I first heard of this trial on NPR two days ago. This investigation encircles the charitable organization that goes by the name "Holy Land Foundation" which sends money for humanitarian aid purposes to Palestine. It has been linked to Hamas in it's efforts to help the Palestinian people which is labeled and for good reasons, as a terrorist organization. Hamas is also the current government though in political power of those lands in which the United States government sends limited aid to as well. The reason I say it will go down in the history books is because of it's applications such as; is offering aid for humanitarian purposes considered supporting terrorism because the money can be funneled to other causes or free up resources through the extra help for such a thing as terrorism? I have mixed feelings about the case personally where on one hand they could be supporting terrorism and terrorist actions and on the other hand they are helping people in need of basic necessities such as food. Anyway, celebrations in the muslim community are ongoing and as this video shows they are considering it as a victory.
Victory they say? No, not by a long shot. It was simply a mistrial. There is going to be a retrial and the United States government has already made this clear. In this case, neither the defense nor the prosecutors are going to have it easy. The jury is going to have a even tougher time deciding this time around. There is a current vitory that should be discussed in this case though and it's for the United States government which as of right now has completely shut down the organization and its cash flow indefinitely.
