Reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank for. A mother of three Palestinian Refugee children a routine trip to the doctor was already riddled with complications. But after hearing the u. S. May decide to cut more than three hundred Million Dollars of annual aid to the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestinian Refugees or as it is known she now worries a bad situation may worsen.

S. President donald trump may halt aid payments worth hundreds of millions of dollars to palestinians if theyre no longer willing to talk peace sixty year old wooden than a fool like so many other Palestinian Refugees here relies on this supported clinic in a refugee camp a Health Center that depends on foreign aid. Its hard because of the difficult situation in all conditions and it allows us to go to this clinic while officials tell us they have not been informed by the u. S. Administration of any changes in funding to the agency the cuts could have a devastating impact approximately five million Palestinian Refugees are eligible for Services Close to eight hundred thousand of them live here in the west bank and another one point three million are in gaza condemnation from palestinian officials who insist they are still very much committed to the Peace Process was swift many of them said palestine was not for sale weve lived for a long time without the american aid and we can so survive without american aid and if its really means that there will be more hunger and less ability to survive look at what the gazans have sustained because of the israeli siege of gaza. But people you know im not willing to sell their homeland for money now faced with the prospect of a political solution growing dimmer and humanitarian. Getting scarcer the only thing it seems palestinians can count on is even more uncertainty how much improvement is either among the occupied west bank because government says it will release and pardon all Political Prisoners the surprise announcement by the Prime Minister will see the toys make prison turned into a museum.

A lot of these politicians when Clinton Administration and bank clinton tried to pressure him to shut down the charity clinton refused to shut down the israel is against anybody who supports the Palestinian People and it doesnt mean support in terms of money on arms or anything like that if you just say i dont like what israel is doing to the Palestinian People youre an enemy to the states. Ah. The Us Government after nine eleven was willing to give up every right. Im ready to give up my civil rights im going to give up my freedom of speech and really give up my privacy do whatever you need if its going to keep some of these crazy terrorists from coming over killing us and one of the things that led to was the adoption of a kind of aggressive preventive Law Enforcement paradigm in which we used every tool available to go after not just terrorists but people who we thought are suspected might be engaged in supporting connected to associated with terrorists and often the basis for that might be you know associated with terrorist was their arab muslim male. The Treasury Department froze the assets in accounts of the Holy Land Foundation richardson texas. Whose money is you support the Hamas Terror Organization a lot of little knocked some marsh and. Let the job of you know like i walked on the internet and. Spoke. On kind of. If you see all so me at least. You know how about. We should feel one hundred much. More says that all of them.

You well youll have to do about it i still hold my record of president. Assisted. And. Most addicts are. Scary for him or us one hell of a time when a few little can really so your day that our pals are who is general counsel to the treasury at the time said quote it was almost comical and quote unquote we just listed out as many of the usual suspects as we could and said lets go freeze some of their asses i have my suspicions that israel was involved in that but i dont know that but i do know because its been written about and is public now that the Treasury Department literally created scapegoats and said we have these palestinians lets just go out and seize their assets and thats what they did there was no hearing there was no due process there were. Nothing they went in and seized everything down to the plants. In two thousand and two the Holy Land Foundation represented by me and my law partners filed a lawsuit in washington d. C. To challenge the designation. As a as a terrorist organisation it was a huge record that the government had created an administrative record that we had to read and it was mostly basically garbage it was it was newspaper articles interviews that were translated from arabic to hebrew to english and we discovered when we did our own translations that the translations were completely wrong. That the government was relying on information that was completely completely false but it didnt matter the lawsuit was dismissed by the District Court in washington d. C. After much briefing and argument we took an appeal to the United States court of appeals for the d. C. Circuit its the the court of appeals that sits in the district of columbia. And on appeal to the d. C. Circuit we lost again. The based on secret evidence even though we had security clearances at the time so we should have been able to see this what the government said was secret evidence we never saw it because we werent able to see the secret evidence we were unable to challenge it we were unable to point out ways that it was untrue or incomplete the District Court the trial level court. Said that it didnt rely on the secret evidence but in the Appellate Court when we challenge the ruling of the District Court that court did rely on the secret evidence found it persuasive so that it was incontrovertibly and ruled against us. To click on the mouse as he asked the similar kind of. Possible help governor nixon. Against the wall. And the bomb goes off you see on my back under god sort of adding to. The sound and message extending for is it. What is yeah us asking them. To say and now the the story of. The. Wolf is at. A very light sleeper and so i jumped out of bed i. Rushed to my father room and he was already wide awake. Left alone without the job will put the hard on for the whole bible have found a lot of involving we.

If i can. Ask that and i will now do. For the next three years the f. B. I. The cia you know. Government officials prosecutors they spent almost three or four years looking into the case the allegation was that there was essentially Material Support being provided by the Holy Land Foundation to come up in we had to prove that and you have to essentially its a form which we call the United StatesMoney LaunderingMaterial Support charges were alleged against all of the individuals. Mr desboro to mr and theres a mr a bocher mr. Carter and mr washington and also against the organization itself there were over forty charges as i recall but primarily it was Material Support to terrorism and then tax charges all raw. Please be seated. As my feel of it Matthew Levittown i canna most the shell oh i mean she was offered to many a family some of them to have and most of. Matthew levitt you know who would you sell you money multiple to been do so unified with them or to have. A club made some of the slum a phobia when you know that it is them would have been can you tell us again what is the overall purpose for hamas having a social wing. It builds greg. Support for the organization it provides for the families of its operatives provides operatives with day jobs it provides a cover of legitimacy for their activities certainly no one is going to question the need for Charity Charity is a good thing except that the operatives are sometimes charity by day and terrorist by not and it provides an ideal mechanism not only for raising under the cover of charity but then transferring and laundering money not just for the social activities but for all the activities of the organization and does hamas also use it as a tool of recruitment as well absolutely as we mentioned earlier you know you get people in the front door you have an opportunity to interact with them to spot them to radicalize and recruit them levitt testified as an Expert Witness opining on essentially given background to the jury on terrorist organizations and also. His view that of activity taking place in. Palestine and israel is that recruitment for the military wing only now. What sort of services does the social wing provide for the palestinian population medical Services Food education a variety of social welfare Type Services womens groups soccer clubs certainly mosques you know study groups a place to go a wide range of activities. And it would you say they use a social welfare activity to win the hearts and minds of the Palestinian People to actually work with. One of the laws that was passed is a law referred to as the Material Support statute and the Material Support statute says that its against the law for any u. S. Citizen or any resident who lives in the United States to provide Material Support to a designated terrorist for example if meek left dallas texas today after this interview and i got on a plane and i flew to somalia and tomorrow i feed over two hundred people from home that but after i feed them somebody comes up to me and says. Did you know that three people who came today and ate your food there are associated with a group called alshabaab well alshabaab is designated as a terrorist organization so technically i just fed three terrorists is that Material Support that question was not answered in the statute is anything thats true but providing such Material Support in my estimation is just as important or more important in in in being able to advance that goes over terrorist organization. Now you have also lectured for an Organization Called the Jewish Federation. Correct that is right and that is a Fund Raising Organization for a pac. Correct that would be news to me the Jewish Federation is the organization the coordinates fund raising of the Jewish Community for everything from local services jewish and non jewish they do fund raising for israel also but i also let you for arab think tanks and others as well my question was have you spoken at apac. Is the answer yes or no i think its pretty clear the answer is yes. And you have spoken at several of their conferences happened i have often said things they did in. The United States put on evidence over and over again of buses being blown up in israel which had. Violent acts by hamas which the holy land had nothing to do with but they would try to and tried to develop an atmosphere for the jury a fear about how mouse there was a time where the jury left the room and the judge left the room and my father though this is an extension of the Israeli Occupation the Zionist Occupation of palestine and he was yelling infuse period and he was yelling because the judge refused continuously refused to enter evidence that would have shown the kind of work that the whole thing that they should do imagine if you were jurors in texas and your president from texas had already told you that this is a terrorist group and youre training kids to come kill you. What kind of impact with that hair you have to have an impact the judge was so much on the government side that at one point. In the first trial. I said to the judge and i cant remember mike that words but it was something to the effect of the prosecutor said you know over there your honor we dont need a second prosecutor and everyone thought that i was going to go to jail that day. You are making very pointed remarks where on line the u. S. Response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been to criminalize or if you. Join us on sad no evil person just wakes up of it in the morning and says i want to color the world in darkness base is a dialogue and that could be what leading to some of the confusion on line about people saying they dont actually know whats going on join the colobus conversation at this time on aljazeera. With bureaus spanning Six Continents across the. City. Aljazeera has correspondents living green the stories they tell. Food in world news. All dizzy or explores prominent figures of the Twentieth Century and why bill reese influenced the course of history with the giants of the struggle for civil rights the most violent resistance to the evils over a veritable oppressed people look at me and continue to think that negroes could be different that what you mean by about malcolm x. And Martin Luther king preached to free speech at this time on aljazeera. And im joined with the headlines on Aljazeera Palestinian leaders say they wont be blackmailed off the u. S. President donald trump threaten to cut aid worth around three courses of a billion dollars a year in a tweet see blame palestinians for refusing to engage in middle east peace talks relations with the u. S. Have common sense since trump recognized jerusalem as israels capital last month. If you know his government says it will release in pardon all Political Prisoners the surprise announcement by the Prime Minister will see them as tourists make a present turned into a museum. Tens of thousands of government supporters of rallies across iran the show of support comes after seven days of demonstrations against irans leadership they gathered to condemn the unrest which killed at least twenty two people u. S. President dont trump his last oddities for my chief strategist steve bannon saying hes lost his mind from his publication of excerpts from an upcoming book in which brennan denounces trumps eldest son as treasonous and unpatriotic its a two thousand and sixteen meeting with a lawyer with kremlin connections the White House Press secretary calls the claims baseless. And that is a ridiculous accusation and one that im pretty sure weve addressed many times from here before if thats in reference to comments made by mr bennett id refer you back to the ones that he made previously on sixty minutes were it called collusion with russia about this president a total farce so i think i would learn to look back at that if anybodys been inconsistent its been him certainly has been the president or this administration this president s former camp Campaign Chairman paul manifold is suing the u. S. Justice department and special Counsel Robert Mueller over the Russian Investigation manifold is trying to fend off his criminal trial due to start in may he faces no one during charges related to work he did for the Ukrainian Government is no suit accuses me of going beyond his Legal Authority by charging him. Israels parliament has given preliminary approval for legislation making it easier for a court to impose the Death Penalty the law would apply to people convicted of murder incidents classified as terrorist attacks currently the Death Penalty can only be applied its a panel of three military judges passes a sentence unanimously as the headlines lets go back now to aljazeera world. All right. Please be seated. Come in there was no evidence established that the Holy Land Foundation itself was a terrorist organization that was not the allegation the allegation was that they were providing Material Support to a terrorist organization. Does the name of the cow kill your secant committee appear on the Treasury Department list today. Though. The. Islamic charities society of hebron does not name appear on the list and didnt appear on the list as of june fourteenth two thousand and one no and it doesnt appear there today either correct or not. I will go through the rest of them collectively and lets see if the answers are to say. Ok. He told carmen to cut committee the nablus akad committee there are a model as a Cad Committee the janines aCad Committee and the islamic science and Culture Committee is it fair to say that the names of none of those organizations appeared on the Treasury Department list as of june fourteenth two thousand and one those names do not and today they dont appear on that list either correct correct the names of any Board Members of those account committees appear on the Treasury Department list as of june fourteenth two thousand and one not to my knowledge but as you said it is a very big list but i dont think so and today same not to your knowledge correct. In holy land the government had this anonymous witness who had the name avi the fake name avi. In to my knowledge theres never been an Expert Witness in a case in a criminal case who was secret the way he was this was a new event there sometimes have been witnesses who have been secret but not experts. And have you reviewed records in the course of preparation for your testimony to suggest that the Holy Land Foundation gave money to the same organizations that weve been talking about yes all of them the question is where is this charity going and how would support the Hamas Organization that is objective i can find several levels one level is that its support the population support all the population to win the hearts and minds we see how they do this many examples there is no secret to the to the trees who controls to scream it is. The posters the settlement is there not hiding this the opposite theyre trying to suppress the fact that theyre part of hamas and the showing it. On the person who comes for support of the food those who supports him and hes obligated to go to going to zation this is how. They win the hearts and minds the most simple way but the most sophisticated way and he testified that each of these a cut committees to which the Holy Land Foundation gave money was associated in some fashion with hamas he also testified about terrorist attacks that hamas had conducted inside israel he presented photographs gory photographs of the aftermath of some of those bombings none of which the Holy Land Foundation had anything to do with mr trail do you have any questions for mr i mean. I do your thank you. What is your rank in the i. S. C. Israeli Security Agency i thank his manager. What is your specific title. Im the Legal Advisor of the counterterrorism division. Now when you work as someone who has researched in this area. Every taken in courses concerning hamas in any learning centers universities or anywhere else not to the University Though i wish that were so so have you taken the course outside money is hamas out of the i say no what books have you run on hamas i read books. Im of hamas salami shot. From the way of a lot to the jihad and another book by. Another also read on the member. A few articles from the universities have you written any works on the subject outside the usa they may have been published. And im not allowed to do that im sure if. You look part of any university. You dont hold positions of professor or anything like that. And integrate still a prosecution that started the unit two thousand investigation. That was the beginning of your involvement in this ok thats correct. So all the things were talking about the glue before two thousand. If done by research. Most of it most by a search self such have you ever read a book about say kagami. I didnt read the book its you maybe there is i would like to read it if the defense is on an open and unaware of the identity of the individual was unable to do the kind of investigation that you would want to do to determine whether the witnesses has any bias seniors or has. Other past experiences that might undermine his or her credibility and youre not able to do that work thats a thats a real cost to a fair defense thats a very fair question and its a its a very difficult issue and we wrestled with that in the trial and but we felt like we could give them everything about this witness that they needed to be able to crossexamine the witness but for the name the second anonymous witness as well who went by the name of majorly or they were there as representatives of the Israeli Security apparatus to make the case against. People who were supporting needy palestinians those werent the only witnesses in my estimation they provided more flavor than subs and have testimony in the case and i think but i think it was part of the evidence i think the evidence in total establish that these defendants knew that the money they were providing were actually Material Support providing Material Support to hamas so i i couldnt google you and find out anything about your work or you background is that correct. Ive been going to smarting. I found myself we dont know your name and said i think. You helped prepare the government witnesses in that case correct and you reviewed with the prosecutors which exhibits going to be put in which were not to be put. With not all the exhibits we had a lot. But as part of them yes concerning to the specific issue of time dealing with no. One all of those documents was seized either in operation defensive shield in the spring of two thousand and two or later is that correct. Are you talking about the experts yes. Yes if i am correct. You are the u. S. Prosecutors given access to these military bases with the materials can. Withdraw. Those materials that are the exhibits they will being stored at Israeli Military bases. Correct the u. S. Prosecutors given access to those military bases. If u. S. Prosecutors authonomy fairly at all and let them want to have the let me up on and that with vehicle waheeda. To the in most of the Holy Land Foundation layer that level going to the column on at the level of fear. Shook like you larry you did then even walk a little slowly while you want her to mattel our behalf but the u. S. Obviously had made a deal with israel that if he came in testified it would were he would remain secret his lawyers came with him you are the Legal Advisor and yet you have your own Legal Advisor. To be on the safe side. Are you looking at your lawyer. Is that what youre doing are you looking at your lawyer do you need to consult. Is it a crime. Do you need to consult with and i dont want to get you in trouble. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury i was asked with respect to mr abney to allow him to consult with his Legal Advisor if you felt that answering a question on crossexamination might require the disclosure of classified information. I did grant this request so because he has a Legal Adviser seated near the radio in the court if mr ravi feels he needs to consult with his Legal Advisor i have granted his permission the government made a big effort to link our clients to anyone in their family who were hamas supporters like michele to mars zouk who was a hamas supporter in the us when hamas wanted. A son i said zillah spent on more records most i wanted to look. Never to. Feed in a whore. To the sought in the communist era in the United States we made it a crime to be a member of the communist party we were afraid of communism and we targeted people not for their acts but for their associations their membership with the communist party ultimately the Supreme Court said thats unconstitutional you cant punish Somebody Just because hes associated with the communist party you have to show that he intended to further the illegal ends of the group not just that hes associated with the group well i think this Material Support statute under which the Holy Land Foundation board was prosecuted is a guilt by Association Statute in modern garb principle evidence for the defense in the case consisted of testimony from Edward Abington who had been the u. S. Consul in jerusalem. My name is Edward Abington im a former american diplomat i third spent thirty years dealing mainly with the middle east specifically arab israeli issues my last overseas assigned. And it was says the american consul general in jerusalem from one thousand nine hundred three to one nine hundred ninety seven. We never received any warnings or. Caution about dealing with the Holy Land Foundation they were considered to be a legitimate American Charity and i was familiar with the work with their work they had a good reputation for honesty and can providing assistance to the people who really needed it. The United States has never labeled zakat committees as controlled by hamas or as being. A terrorist organizations and in fact up until two thousand and seven two thousand and eight. Was channeling assistance. Through american n. G. O. S working with sakata committees so the allegation that he israelis made that these organizations were basically controlled with hamas was certainly not the view of the United States government at the time i was serving in jerusalem or for that matter afterwards and i was very contradictory i mean it was like the left hand doesnt know what the right hand was doing. Right or. What. I want to. Listen to this is a kid so on that hell even the most of the team lay in the moon that he they own leaves yes he came and. I let jimmy. Genizah care for the fellow to be a t. V. Day at the had. Been done had been more forthcoming was out of. The salt tunny of the us the media. And the. A c. S. Enough scene for a lead to canonic the look of him in muscles at the. Must have. Killed us. Internationally. To put the germanium in morris and here is a deal of money in. The city limits and fuel and we did lawfully that initially i dont and i mean most do indeed for him a sharia could be it although a bit of a had him a should i let you put him at elaine in. My bed with the city million eight. The defense was trying to say look the Justice Department is alleging that the Holy Land Foundation is supporting terrorism because theyre working with aka committees but we have a long list of projects funded by the Us Government working with american n. G. O. S who worked with zakat committees and we have the documentation to show this. The the court kept a lot of that documentation out of the trial these defendants pick a particular finance or giving money to the cot committees knowing it was going to hamas whether its a legitimate or not really isnt it issue its whether they knew that the money that was being funneled to the committees were actually going to hamas and i think we established that at trial but the United States government was also giving money too. You know i dont remember that. As being in that. You know its been a long time and at a minimum you should be prosecuted for providing child electively to a group that has not even been put on a list so that you have notice that youre not supposed to be aiding it i mean they checked the list there they were the board of h l f could check the list and they would say ok heres the groups that are on the list were not going to support any of those heres groups that are not on the list we can support both. In order to fight these allegations we had to read all of the discovery from the government that we could read and that raised a big problem because there were ten years of wire taps. That were all almost all in arabic and we couldnt read here we couldnt understand them our clients for and allowed to read them or listen to them because they were classified we also presented evidence from john bryant. Who was a former congressman who represented the Holy Land Foundation after he Left Congress one nine hundred ninety seven the whole foundation me as an attorney to help them with the problem i personally contacted the federal bureau of investigation and we met with leaders of the Dallas Office of the federal bureau of investigation on two occasions to say we had seen these articles in the newspaper and wanted to know. Are you are are there is only a foundation of interest. And if so what why we had those meetings in both cases we were given no guidance no advice no confirmation that they were under investigation i met with the number two man in the Israeli Embassy she. Said look i dont know what your concerns are but if you will convey to me with the concerns or the holding a foundation will operate in such a way that youre no longer going to. Here greeted that perhaps this was a good suggestion and he would get back to me. But weeks passed and he did not get back to me so i contacted him and he informed me that his government had told him not to communicate any further with over there. Can only call numbers from someone who has not seen one of them with us when the new on my desk. I dont know company was not on time and might come to one side. Well before the team could and then when we met them at the foot of it was something. Funny and the whole thing might come out of the south. And i would been breaking up. With august sixth today for the cover of sports here as the dallas jury failed to reach a verdict against five accused of sending money to. The Senate Supporters call which i want to get scotts lots of fighting terrorists. Should feel took one single picture weve not been able to agree some of them voted for guilty for some charges and some voted not guilty but it had to be unanimous and there was not a single charge that the where the jury was unanimous so the case was over one. Down i. Mean. This was a very joyous time for us we were just gone. And this was like a few moments of happiness that we had and that we could really hold on to i feel we have no. Legal. I. Think i think along. With the. Whole. Thing. Looking. At the big. Things. I think a thing. Will keep. Us safe. But soon after that the judge asked the prosecutor will retry the case and he says yes your honor and believe that we will. There were over forty charges as i recall but primarily it was Material Support for terrorism the Holy Land Foundation was the biggest Muslim Charity in the usa i definitely said that this was a political trial and the fees were Political Prisoners because we werent able to see the secret government we were unable to tell and in a two part series aljazeera will examine one of the most Controversial Court cases of the socalled war on. Sara the holy land phone at this time on aljazeera world. And it still bitterly cold for us in parts of north America Harrison pictures from chicago and i feel cold just looking at them look at the amount of ice there own that river that is the to the bitterly cold and now were going to see a little bit more in the way of snow as well see this little system in the south is gradually edging its way eastwards that ones bringing us a fair amount of rain across parts of florida and a fair amount of snow elsewhere as well and its running its way towards the northeast on thursday where it is in the northeastern parts of the states and in the eastern parts of canada giving us some very heavy snow and some very strong winds mixed in with that as well that system will eventually begin to pull away northeast which as we head through friday and behind it staying bitterly cold as a maximum thats a maximum remember minus twenty degrees still incredibly cold the place where its a lot warmer is towards the west where l. A. Will get to around twenty as we head down towards the central americas here weve got our line of thunderstorms as weve seen over the past few days searching from panama and colombia all the way up towards the northeast weve seen plenty of showers over parts of jamaica through parts of cuba and into haiti as well this system still with us as we head through thursday and friday and giving us the very heavy rain and for the south a quick look at rio were expecting more shots. You know what i am no Television Chef and i believe simply feeling to be finished. Very good before. I know i think. We have been playing do it but its not funny that we have a separate call me and me right yes theres definitely going to do but we want to do a good way for the future then she gave me a few test frames that im not missing Something Big in your head this year theres been a suggestion and i absolutely do we its addition to making good on the city.
