As for this thread, I admit I didn't read it all (it's almost 4:00 am here and waaaay past bedtime). Correlating this article with recent news reports, does raise a few questions. I thought the decision was based on people who donated to what they believed was a charity, and had no knowledge that they were contributing to a terrorist organization.
In cases such as that, I think the law should be lenient. If, however, the name of the organization was "Hamas", then I think the expectation of common should come into play and they should be penalized.
I meant to say common knowledge.
Goodnite.
