Free laptops
and terrorism? Are you aware of who funds HAI or what kinds of activities this NGo supports?
According to the website: (
http://www.humanappeal.org.au/)
Human Appeal International Australia is a non-governmental humanitarian organisation seeking funds from supporters to assist in providing services to thousands of poor and needy people through programs in Food relief and development projects in Health and Education.
BUT it's accountability and terror bankrolling activities are brought into questions with these:
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2003/s951368.htmThe document, obtained by Lateline, outlines a close relationship between Human Appeal International and Hamas, as well as the US-based Palestinian charity the Holy Land Foundation For Relief and Development, which was raided and shut down three months after the September 11 attacks.
The FBI's findings echo a recently released 1996 CIA document, which alleges Human Appeal International "probably acts as a fundraiser for Hamas".
When you look at the documents from the FBI and if material that they have put together which indicates that Human Appeal International have, in the past, certainly been proselytising for funds to assist with not just humanitarian causes but the intifada and, indeed, in fighting against the Israelis, then you have some serious concerns that need to be answered..
Serious questions hang over its alleged relationship with Hamas and its accountability to donors.
At stake is not just concerns over money going to terrorists, but whether those genuinely in need receive all the money intended for them.
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article.php?id=767 The arrest of convicted Hamas activist and alleged fundraiser Ahmad Saltana (a.k.a. Abu Asama) has focused attention on several organizations in Europe that allegedly pose as charities in order to bankroll terrorist activities. The organizations reportedly implicated in this illegal activity include the UK-based charities Human Appeal International and Interpal.
Some questionable connections between the NGO running 'free laptops for YR 12 Muslim students' and terrorist organizations such as Hamas. Truly, a "charitable" organization. One moment you accept seemingly free laptops, the next you might end up sharing a cell with hicksy :2funny:
