Anyway, devil advocate time. The dude with the atrocious spelling does raise an interesting point. If the links were that obvious, why are they still operating? I see Interpal has already been investigated thoroughly. The way I see it, the intentions of HiA are pure. However, due to the ascendancy of the Hamas over provisions in and out of Palestine, the HiA are forced into some sort of compromise. Hand over the goods or get blown to hell.
Oh, that's right. HAI are "forced" into "handing over" the money because they're afraid of being "blown to hell".
and the Australian branch of HAI was banned by Israel:

(btw, in an epic irony, you can clearly see hebrew writing from the Israeli aid delivered to the residents of Gaza)
1) Makes sense. After all, they were the state which placed a blockade banning humanitarian aid
2) Only under international obligations, sweetie.
Notwithstanding the fact that this isn't a debate about the merits of the Gaza blockade, you have to ask yourself:
1) Why is Gaza's border with Egypt also under blockade - and why is there a blockade in the first place?
2) What are Israel's "international obligations", if it withdrew to '67 border with Gaza in 2005?
Anyhow, to answer some of your other concerns.
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=6403The U.S. Senate Committee on Finance is currently investigating HAI for suspected ties to international Islamic terrorism. According to the FBI, Hamas operations in Jordan are carried out through HAI. As early as 1996, a CIA document linked HAI to the now-defunct Saudi-based charity Muwafaq, which the U.S. identified as an al Qaeda front organization. That document further named HAI as a fundraiser for Hamas.
That's right, turns out that they have links to the mother of all terror organizations,
Al Quaedahttp://europenews.dk/en/node/12586 Human Appeal International (HAI), a UAE government-run "charitable" organization, whose board includes the UAE president,77 continues to fund Hamas and other Palestinian organizations, .martyrs,. and Palestinian terrorists in Israeli prisons and their families. The HAI modus operandi includes transferring funds to the Palestinian Red Crescent, whose West Bank and Gaza branches Hamas runs. Hamas, in turn, distributes the money to Hamas “charities.”
So, why hasn't HAI been banned yet in Australia? Like was mentioned previously, it's only a matter of time - that's why their offices may still be open - but one should note, that there are legislators pushing for NGOs such as HAI to be criminalized in Australia.
Additionally, HAI along with a slew of other NGOs are appealing against Australia's anti-terror laws and legislation (conflict of interest much?)
