Steven Emerson: American Aid Convoy to Gaza Serves Hamas' Objectives - 'U.S. law prohibits providing material support to Hamas, even when that takes the form of humanitarian aid. Why is nobody taking action against Viva Palestina USA?...' [We pray daily for local indictments.]
Nice summary except that according to local participants' reports, none of the collected funds actually made it into Gaza. Not that this affair should not be investigated for its intent, but it looks like one of the biggest latest financial scams by Galloway.
Viva Palestina leadrship reported that Egyptians never "released from customs" any of the vehicles reportedly purchased for the convoy and not a single truck "medical aid" crossed into Gaza. Either Galloway laughed all way to the bank or the Egyptian government greatly benefited from this "1 million" deal.
Seems, the tools who were taken for a fundraising ride and donated all these funds should be ssking some questions, not just FBI.
