Did you read the history of the case? Of course not.Not true. The case was based on bullshit.For people who want to learn something.She must be doing something right. The lying sack of shit propagandists are sliming her.
U.S. Department of Justice??? Is this some kind of joke?
The Bush administration's "war on terror" paraded a feather in its tattered cap with the Holy Land Foundation convictions delivered last week. Most observers accurately characterised this legal charade as a witch hunt, using Muslims and Arabs, specifically Palestinians, as its targets. In doing so the administration shamelessly abuses to advance its failed security measures and pro-Israel policy initiatives that systematically punishes Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank.
Indeed, the Bush administration suffered a humiliation in 2007 when its first prosecution against HLF ended in a mistrial, with the jurors deadlocked over the major counts. A juror from the 2007 trial said the government "kept showing us blown-up buses and they kept showing us little kids in bomb belts reenacting Hamas leaders … it had nothing to do with the actual charges. It had nothing to do with the defendants."
The prosecution continued this strategy the second time around. Moreno explained to me that the US government "decided to use as much evidence of violence as they could get away with to inflame and scare the jury." She continued: "The government conceded that my client, Ghassan Elashi, nor any of the other gentlemen, ever participated in any violence. There was not a single phone call or a scrap of evidence that showed Elashi supported violence; but there was evidence that he, along with all Palestinians, opposed the brutal Israeli occupation [of West Bank and Gaza.]"

The Holy Land Foundation Case:
The Collapse of American Justice

Of the specific zakat committees that Holy Land contributed to, not
one, to this date, now several years after the Holy Land convictions, has
ever been on a designated terrorist list in the U.S. and this is important to
understand because the designation process serves two critical functions.
The designation process is primarily handled through the Office of Foreign
Assets Control for the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The head of that
office explained at one time, and I will quote, that the designation of an
entity, serves two critical functions: it “alertthe world to [its] true
nature” and “cutit off from the U.S. financial system.”
This list includes people and entities that the U.S. government believes
to be “owned or controlled by, or to act for on behalf of Hamas.” Several
Hamas officials appeared on the list starting in 1995, but not a single one of
the zakat committees that the Holy Land ever gave money to was on the list.
To this day none are on the list.

I know that is not you.
They were raising money for terrorism, end of story. They knew who was receiving every penny they donated, and that it was all going to fund terrorist attacks. The Lawyers problem is her name was not enough to get them of, and so became a failure on her part to get the "right" sentence

The convictions stand. What a shame that the trial by jury was processed in the Great Satan ™. How sad for you that we in kafir'istan don't have moments long trial by Islamic terrorist goons with AK-47.'s who put you up against a wall and volley fire.
