Two founding members of the charity organization The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development were sentenced to serve 65 years in prison. They and 3 others were charged with funding programs for schools and social welfare controlled by Hamas.
Schools are for the education of children, and social welfare is to help those in need. In places where people are leading desperate lives, and where the society is in perpetual economic turmoil, offering help through charity is normally considered to be a laudable act.
Were these charity organizers seeking to help children in need of schooling and those desperate for welfare, or were they intending really to render aid to a terrorist group that they should deserve such punishment?
