WOW!
****The facts are clear… The terrorists benefit from the Holy Land Foundation, and we’re not going to allow it. … Money raised by the Holy Land Foundation is used by Hamas to support schools and indoctrinate children to grow up into suicide bombers [and] to recruit suicide bombers and support their families.”

Bush’s accusations were not supported by any evidence but the president spoke and so the government had to act. The FBI raided the HLF offices in Dallas and seized their financial records, database, wire transfers, donor lists, and correspondence, freezing all their assets. Yet the government came up with no evidence linking HLF to Hamas.

The Holy Land Foundation was the largest Muslim charity in America. It provided aid to refugees, orphans, victims of human and natural disasters, the poor and the needy throughout the world, regardless of faith or political affiliation. According to Mohammad Abumoharam, a relief worker in Gaza, “HLF has been able to significantly alleviate the suffering of thousands in Palestine.”
