Do Hotel Rwanda’s Rusesabagina Cheerleaders Risk American Prison?
As the trial of Paul Rusesabagina, the hotelier made famous by the 2004 film “Hotel Rwanda” continues, some of his most vocal American supporters might soon find themselves in legal jeopardy.
A Federal District Court in Dallas, Texas, sentenced five members of the Holy Land Foundation to sentences between fifteen and sixty-five years in prison for “providing material support to Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization,” on May 27, 2009.
As the charity siphoned money to support terrorism, it told supporters that it sought to “implement practical solutions for human suffering through humanitarian programs that impact the lives of the disadvantaged, disinherited, and displaced peoples suffering from man-made and natural disasters.” Many in the academic, activist, and even diplomatic communities believed them. The charity preyed on the gullible, but the evidence presented was overwhelming.

The past week has been especially eventful: A live-streaming white supremacist fond of threatening strangers online was arrested in Florida on a weapons charge. A member of the Proud Boys was arrested in Philadelphia for harassing a community organizer. And even more Capitol insurgents were placed under arrest, including a former State Department aide and Donald Trump appointee.
