P R O C E E D I N G S:

THE COURT: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I was 

told counsel wanted to see me before we bring the jury in. 

MR. WESTFALL: We probably want to see you on different 

things. The order of the arguments today is going to be Josh 

Dratel and then Marlo Cadeddu and then me, and I have spoken with 

Mr. Garrett about this. One alternative which we thought of 

which would be helpful for me personally but also the jury might 

appreciate it is to have the two arguments and then have an early 

lunch, and I will argue for forty-five minutes after lunch, and 

if that's okay with the Court -- And Mr. Garrett has no objection 

to that. That's what we would like to do. 

THE COURT: All right. 

MR. WESTFALL: Thank you, your Honor. 

THE COURT: Mr. Garrett. 

MR. GARRETT: Your Honor, I wanted to touch base on 

these instructions. I have before me a copy this morning of what 

will be filed as the government's supplemental jury instructions, 

and Mr. Jacks and I worked on it late last night in consultation 

with Mr. Cline. Where we're at right now are the only counts 

that will be affected are Counts 2 through 10, and I talked to 

Mr. Cline both last night and this morning. This is not going to 

affect anyone's argument. In short or summary, you can see that 

what the government is suggesting is removing Count 2 -- which is 

the government's belief that's the theory of the case as opposed

to an element -- adding a knowledge of sending support to HAMAS 

in the first element and then some modification of the definition 

of providing material support to HAMAS consistent with your 

Honor's language about control or direction. 

But in any event, I think that Mr. Cline -- I'll let 

him speak for himself, but he may file some response to this this 

afternoon, but again I don't think it's going to affect what's 

happening today. 

MR. CLINE: Your Honor, we did work on this late into 

the night, both sides. This proposal here, I received this 

morning from Mr. Garrett. What I would suggest is we're going to 

finish today, as I understand it, after Mr. Westfall's argument. 

Both Ms. Moreno and Mr. Garrett can argue tomorrow. As soon as 

we are done with Court today, I will go back and prepare a quick 

response, and it will be just a couple of pages, and we should be 

squared away on this issue if that's acceptable to the Court, and 

I will have it in no later than 4:30 or 5:00, and the changes 

contemplated are pretty minor in terms of moving words around on 

the page -- significant in terms of the charge, and I don't think 

it will take long for the Court to implement it. 

THE COURT: Thank you. 

(Jury in)

THE COURT: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Before 

we get started today, I wanted to give you an overview of what to 

expect today. We will begin this morning by hearing from Mr.

Dratel, counsel for Mr. El-Mezain, and then following Mr. Dratel, 

we will hear from Ms. Cadeddu, counsel for Mr. Mufid Abdulqader. 

And then we will take our lunch recess, and when we come back 

from lunch, we will hear from Mr. Westfall, counsel for Mr. Odeh. 

And then that will conclude our session today. So we will 

probably be recessing sometime early this afternoon, and I wanted 

to let you know that so that you can make your personal plans 

accordingly. Mr. Dratel. 

MR. DRATEL: Please the Court. 

THE COURT: Yes, sir. 

MR. DRATEL: Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen of the 

jury. I want to thank you for your dedication and your attention 

during the course of this trial. While it may have been shorter 

than initially anticipated, it was not short by any means. My 

time is limited, and it's budgeted. So I can't cover everything 

that I might cover with unlimited time. The trial is too long to 

cover everything. I will cover what I consider highlights and 

important matters and certain themes that I think are important 

from the evidence -- and from the evidence itself. 

Also, Mr. Garrett, for the government will get another 

opportunity to speak to you, and I won't. So I have to 

anticipate some arguments that he may make but he may not make. 

So I have to cover those matters, even though Mr. Jonas may not 

have. I will talk more about that later, about certain aspects 

of the case.

When Mr. Jacks opened back in July for the government, 

he said there were two important questions in this case. First 

was whether these Zakat Committees and other foundations who were 

the recipients of money from the Holy Land Foundation were 

organizations controlled by, affiliated with or operated for the 

benefit of HAMAS. He said the second question was did the 

defendants know that. As the Court's instruction will tell you, 

the government has to prove a yes answer to both questions beyond 

a reasonable doubt. And there are two instructions I would like 

to point out to you in making that evaluation, just above and 

beyond the others. But all of them are important. 

First is reasonable doubt itself. Ms. Hollander read 

it to you yesterday, but I think it's important enough that it 

should be read again. "A reasonable doubt is a doubt based on 

reason and common sense. After careful and impartial 

consideration of the facts in the case, reasonable doubt is 

proof so convincing that you would not hesitate to act on it in 

the most important of your own affairs." 

And the question control, what does it mean for HAMAS 

to control a Zakat Committee? "You may find that an entity was 

controlled by HAMAS if you find that the entity was operated 

under HAMAS's direction, or organizing, managing or supervising 

or otherwise directing HAMAS's persons or resources."

And as the evidence demonstrates -- and I will go in 

more detail -- the government has not proved that control,

certainly not beyond a reasonable doubt. But in light of those 

questions that Mr. Jacks asked, in light of those instructions, 

in light of the evidence, it's not surprising that Mr. Jonas 

yesterday spent the first two and a half hours of his summation 

on a variety of other topics before getting to what he conceded 

was what this case is all about, the Zakat Committees. 

What the government resorts to and spends valuable time 

during summation and what it spends time during the case is also 

important in terms of when you try to evaluate the strength of 

its case and what its case is all about. I'll talk about that 

material throughout my summation. So you have to ask yourself 

what's been put in evidence regarding Mr. El-Mezain's knowing 

support for Zakat Committees controlled by or operated for the 

benefit of HAMAS. I urge you to look at the evidence carefully. 

Look at it carefully. You will find the government has not met 

its burden, that Mr. El-Mezain is not guilty of each and every 

count charged against him in this indictment. 

The charges are basically the same. In a certain 

sense, they all charge the relationship to HAMAS. The money 

laundering counts have as a predicate the illegal activity 

charged in the first two sets of counts which is the material 

support and the violation of the President's Executive Order 

blocking all transactions with HAMAS. 

But I want to point out again another instruction of 

the Court that you will hear which is about the indictment itself

which you will have with you when you go back to the juryroom. 

The indictment is simply a description of the charges made by the 

government against the defendants. It is not evidence of the 

defendants' guilt. So you must look at it with that limitation. 

I'm not going to wait as long as Mr. Jonas to get to 

the heart of the case, the Zakat Committees. Since it's the most 

important part of the case, let's go to it right now. 

The government's case cannot survive an analysis of the 

Zakat Committees. I'll touch upon other aspects of the case and 

the evidence that re-enforces that conclusion that Mr. El-Mezain 

is not guilty, that you must find him not guilty of the charges 

against him. But first, I want to get to the heart. You heard 

from Dr. Nathan Brown. He's a professor as well, but he has his 

doctorate. And Mr. Abington, a career diplomate for the United 

States Government. You heard them testify about the nature of 

the Zakat Committees -- and in particular the Zakat Committees in 

this case -- and why they are not part of HAMAS, why they are not 

controlled by HAMAS. And there are several factors that go to 

that conclusion. They are all licensed. We put those licenses 

in evidence through Dr. Brown. Those are Exhibits 1040 and 1167, 

and I will go through those in more detail later on. Those were 

1997, those registration certificates, part of the time period in 

this case. The Palestinian Authority, the enemy of HAMAS, 

licensed all of them. 

There was some evidence that some may have been closed

during the 90's, but Mr. Abington testified the closures included 

more than HAMAS charities, and in a sense they were political 

closures by the Palestinian Authority. There was an article that 

was referred to in the cross of Dr. Brown, but I actually brought 

it up in the cross of Mr. Avi in my cross examination which 

proves the Palestinian Authority in 1995 and 1996 decided to pay 

greater attention to the Zakat Committees and whether they were 

controlled by HAMAS. And that's where the licensing comes in. 

As Dr. Brown said, by the Ministry of Wakf, after the intifada in 

1987, then you have licensing procedures. But that article in my 

cross examination of Mr. Avi established the Palestinian 

Authority said we have to make sure these boards are within our 

control, that these organizations, these Zakat Committees, are 

within our control. So we will audit them, monitor them, and we 

will license them. 

Licensed by the Ministry of Wakf which appoints the 

director, Mr. Brown told you, approves the directors, as 

Dr. Brown told you. They issue regular financial reports to the 

Ministry. As Dr. Brown told you, quasi-governmental 

organizations. 

Now, you have seen the correspondence, and we will look 

at some more of these organizations. The PA logo, the eagle, on 

the correspondence for many of these committees to show that they 

are quasi-governmental, that they are licensed, to show the 

people dealing with them that they are a licensed organization.

Another aspect that Dr. Brown told you about, that Mr. 

Abington told you about, the fundamental nature and purpose of 

these Zakat Committees, these charities have to be nonpartisan. 

It's their traditional nature. Their traditional nature in 

Islam, in Palestinian society. Dr. Brown told you it's a deeply 

divided society, politically, by family lines, many lines. And 

to be perceived as partisan would be to ruin what these 

organizations do, which is to provide aid to the needy regardless 

of political affiliation and to a society that uncontradicted is 

in dire need of these kinds of services. Just as important, 

Dr. Brown told you and Mr. Abington told you -- And they lived 

there. Mr. Abington was there for years. Dr. Brown was there 

fifteen months. He had been to Israel twelve times before that. 

He's gone back three times a year since. Right in the heart of 

this case, 1999, 2000. He reads Arabic. He speaks Arabic. He 

canvases Palestinian press on a daily base, people in the 

community -- activists, PA people. What did Mr. Abington tell 

you? That they are not perceived in Palestinian society, these 

Zakat Committees, as being part of HAMAS or controlled by HAMAS. 

Mr. Abington visited each of these Zakat Committees, and he gave 

you his conclusion. He worked for the United States Government 

when he was making these visits. He knew that he had to be 

careful if an organization was controlled by HAMAS. So his 

antenna were up significantly during those visits. 

Dr. Brown visited zakats. Again, their conclusion, no

perception in the community that they were controlled by or 

operated for the benefit of HAMAS. And why is that so important? 

I'll get to it more later, but that hearts and minds theory of 

Mr. Avi, Dr. Levitt, can't exist if they are not perceived in 

society as being controlled by HAMAS. There is no credit to 

HAMAS. These organizations are not identified with HAMAS by the 

population. 

Another reason why Zakat Committees are not controlled, 

because they are effective in their mission. This is why they 

have the reputation they do. They are transparent, and what we 

meant by that is their books are open. The first thing they gave 

Dr. Brown was a financial report. We know they are ordered by 

the Palestinian Authority. They provide regular financial 

reports to the Palestinian Authority. We know that they are also 

subject to raids by the Israeli government. They are subject to 

closure by the Israeli government. Dr. Brown told you that one 

of the Zakat Committees he went to, the director said that one of 

the big problems was that the Israelis continually come by and 

ask them specific questions about specific recipients of their 

aid. All of this is an open book. Zakat Committees also provide 

to those who need. They are on the ground in the community, and 

they can verify it, and if they didn't, they would lose that 

reputation that they have as the place where you can give your 

money to perform your Islamic duty of zakat for charity. It's a 

religious duty. It's one of the five pillars of Islam.

What other evidence do you have that these other 

organizations are not HAMAS or controlled by HAMAS? They are 

still operating today. They could be shut down by the Israeli 

government at a whim. In Operation Defensive Shield, the Israeli 

government went in in 2002 and raided all of these things. They 

didn't shut them down. They are still operating. The 

Palestinian Authority could shut them down at any moment. We 

heard from Dr. Brown that Palestinian Authority closed down 103 

charitable organizations in the West Bank two weeks. Not a 

single one was a Zakat Committee. Not a single one was an 

organization in this indictment. 

Mr. Jonas said why can't they give to other Zakat 

Committees? Dr. Brown told you why. They are a 

quasi-governmental organization. They are chartered, one for a 

locale. They are given a monopoly for the purpose of creating 

this legitimacy so people will know where to go to give the 

money. They are still operating today. None have been 

designated by the United States. None of the people on the 

boards that Avi mentioned, none of those people have been 

designated a terrorist or a terrorist organization. What's the 

list for if it's not to make those determinations? There is a 

list. How do you make those determinations when a committee is 

licensed under the full authority of the Palestinian Authority 

and they have every incentive to shut it down if it's HAMAS. 

By the way, in terms of designations -- and I'll talk

about this a little later -- none of the defendants, including 

Mr. El-Mezain, have been designated as terrorists. Muslim 

Brotherhood hasn't been designated. I'll talk about that later. 

It's the government's burden to prove the Zakat 

Committees, these organizations, are controlled by HAMAS. Did 

the government bring any records from these committees to show 

you where the money goes? Did they bring you records to show you 

why they are controlled by HAMAS? No. This is their burden. 

They can get all of this stuff. They got all of these bank 

records from around the world. And Dr. Brown gave you very 

clear, unequivocal conclusions. The Zakat Committees are not 

political organizations. They are nonpartisan in how they 

provide aid. They are not perceived as part of HAMAS, part of 

the social wing or the network. And they are not controlled by 

or operated for the benefit of HAMAS. Even Steve McGonigle, a 

government witness who testified, a Dallas Morning News reporter, 

when he went to this Zakat Committee unannounced saw nothing 

political about it. Saw no indication that there was an 

affiliation with HAMAS. 

The historical development of these Zakat Committees 

also supports the fact that they are not controlled by or 

operated for the benefit of HAMAS. Government of Israel 

established many of the Islamic institutions in the West Bank and 

Gaza when the Israeli government was in control in 1967 to 1993 

because they saw that as a way to fight the PLO which was

considered the danger to Israel at the time, Fatah, Mr. Arafat's 

organization. The political winds have changed. So now the 

political organization has changed in the context of this 

prosecution. They operated under Jordanian and Egyptian rule and 

the Jordanian law before that. You'll see that on the 

certificates. They were formed in the 70's and 80's well before 

HAMAS. They were formed well before the intifada. The Hebron -- 

International Charitable Society of Hebron, the registration 

certificate that was issued in 1997 refers back to 1909, the 

Ottoman law, before the PA, before the Israelis, before even the 

British. The Ottoman Empire which was dissolved at the end of 

World War I. This is the historical nature of the existence of 

these committees. 

You will see USAID documents and how they address these 

issues. That's the United States Agency for International 

Development. The Zakat Committees are not under HAMAS control. 

Let's talk about the theories that Mr. Avi advanced to 

you, the hearts and minds theory. Under that theory, when these 

committees became controlled by HAMAS it had to be public, 

publicly known. Otherwise, it wouldn't do them any good unless 

those committees were identified by HAMAS as HAMAS so HAMAS could 

get the credit. Mr. Jonas said yesterday if HAMAS can't get 

credit, the people will not know who to support. So that 

connection must be public, overt, obvious. If it's so obvious 

and public -- In many cases I will do this committee by

committee. 

Why are they licensed in 1997 by the Palestinian 

Authority, the enemy of HAMAS? Why are they still operating 

today? Why have they never been designated? 

If the purpose -- If this hearts and minds theory was 

true, there was a connection that was public, why did Mr. 

Abington not know it? The United States representative, why did 

no one tell him? Either the Israeli or United States 

intelligence community. Dr. Brown didn't find it either. We'll 

talk about them as witnesses and judging them as witnesses. 

The antagonism between the Palestinian Authority and 

HAMAS alone is a reasonable doubt since these committees continue 

to be operated, managed, controlled and licensed by the 

Palestinian Authority. The government hasn't tried to answer 

this because it can't. Mr. Garrett will have another 

opportunity, but keep in mind whether he answers these questions 

and whether he does satisfactorily beyond a reasonable doubt. 

They talk about the HAMAS wing, the election in 2006. 

Holy Land was out of business in 2001. Hearts and minds. We 

heard how HAMAS got control of Gaza in 2007. Hearts and minds? 

No, force of arms. A coup. This hearts and minds theory is a 

theory without support. And then the election itself doesn't 

tell you anything because, as Dr. Brown told you -- the 

government gives you a tiny slice, but you want to see the whole 

pie. Dr. Brown told you he was an observer. Mr. Abington was an

observer of the Palestinian Authority. How is that for 

impartial? Told you about the change and reform backed by HAMAS. 

The issue wasn't hearts and minds; it was corruption. And that 

HAMAS and Change and Reform recruited people who weren't HAMAS, 

who weren't even Islamists, some of them secularists, as they 

called them. Nonreligious people, as they call it. Not on a 

HAMAS charter. That wasn't even an issue. And Dr. Brown told 

you that. You can have any testimony read back and look at any 

exhibit, and I urge you to do so if you have any questions. 

The 6 series of documents, another important part of 

Avi's testimony. He thought they were important because they 

were found at a charity. Of course, he had never been to one so 

he wouldn't know. You have heard from Dr. Brown and Mr. Abington 

who have a familiarity with Palestinian society and know and been 

to the Zakat Committees. They weren't surprised because those 

materials are everywhere. Again, this is 2002, 2004, these 

documents are seized. After Operation Defensive Shield, we heard 

these martyrdom posters and postcards proliferated throughout 

Palestinian society, and that's when the seizures were made. 

They also don't know where they were found in the 

building. Major Lior didn't know. They just came back in boxes. 

Could have been in the trash he said. Could have belonged to 

employees. Could have belonged to anyone. Mr. Jonas said they 

were handing out postcards, and I'm trying to think who's 

testified to that. And I realized Mr. Jonas testified to that

yesterday. There is no evidence in the record. Counsel's 

argument is just argument. Has to be supported by the record. 

And I urge you to look at the record. Pure speculation. 

Now, Avi's dominant-person theory cuts against the 

fundamental nature of the Zakat Committees. First of all, he 

only mentioned a couple per committee, and as Mr. Cline pointed 

out in his cross examination, we don't know the full scope of the 

committee. But it's against their fundamental nature, regardless 

of who is on the board, because they lose their authority in the 

community to satisfy need if they are a political committee. 

Think about the jury. Some of you may be Democrats, Republicans 

or other parties. If you were identified as a Republican or a 

Democrat, it would do violence to your oath here. Think of 

General Motors. Who knows who's on that board? If they are 

recognized as a Democratic or Republican board or corporation 

that had a political point of view, they would put off a certain 

number of investors. Zakat Committees survive on their 

nonpartisan nature. They can't be identified with politics. It 

wasn't a surprise to Dr. Brown that there were Islamists on the 

board because there are Islamists in Palestinian society. So 

even a random distribution, there would be Islamists on the board 

and a number of them. 

That raises another issue about Islamists. The 

government wanted to argue with Mr. Avi when he testified. They 

want you to equate Islamism with HAMAS, but that's not true. No

one testified to that. Dr. Brown, Mr. Abington said exactly the 

opposite. Islamism is much broader than HAMAS. Dr. Brown told 

you the majority of Palestine may even not be Islam. It changes. 

It's different in 2006, 2007. But everyone wants you to think 

they are the same. The government wants you to. We couldn't get 

a definition from a witness. This is something they have to 

prove beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Avi is incapable of distinguishing between HAMAS and an 

Islamist. That's why the Ramallah Zakat Committee -- Dr. Brown 

told you the director didn't even have a beard which would be 

unique for him. But Adly Yaish, the mayor of Nablus, Dr. Brown 

knows of him very well. They were in Nablus for the elections. 

That's where he was for the elections, and Mr. Yaish is not 

HAMAS, but Mr. Avi puts him in that category. 

The Barouk Center in Ramallah that Avi talks about, 

Dr. Brown talks about that, too. Not HAMAS, just Zakat 

Committees. How do you put a lot of people in HAMAS because they 

have been on that Change and Reform ticket that was elected? 

Dr. Brown has shown conclusively that was not the case. They 

were not all HAMAS people who were elected. That's 2007, not 

1995-2001 which is the time period of this case that's important. 

I want to go through just quickly the individual Zakat 

Committees. Mr. Avi said that Nablus was a HAMAS-controlled 

Zakat Committee by 1999. Now, the registration ticket is Defense 

1205. We'll show that for a second. We will show the Arabic

version so that you can see again what they look like. There is 

the Palestinian Authority logo. There it is. 1997. There are 

other documents, too. There is Government's Exhibit 140 which 

corresponds to the Nablus Zakat Committee and the Holy Land which 

has the material at the top in the letterhead which talks about 

its registry, license, when it started, been operating for a 

quarter century. Government's Exhibit 1-109. Government's 

Exhibit -- Think about the Holy Land's position if you are 

getting documents with the Palestinian Authority registration 

certificate on it, an organization being permitted to operate by 

the Israelis, the Palestinian Authority and the United States 

Government and whether you can deal with them or not. 

Ramallah, 1207 is the certificate. Mr. Avi said it was 

late 1989. He had never been there. Dr. Brown was. Nothing 

political about it. You can look at other documents. 

Government's Exhibit 2-47, the 1981 letter where Holy Land asks 

for a license from Ramallah, and they get it back. It's 

permission to operate granted by -- I'm sorry. It's not 

Palestinian Authority. It's before the Palestinian Authority. 

It's dated 1989. Permission to operate by the Israeli 

government. This is at a time when it's already a known HAMAS 

organization? Can't be. 

Mr. Avi said also Ramallah, the Zakat Committee was 

under intensive surveillance by the Palestinian Authority. So 

why is it still operating today if it belongs to HAMAS? They

closed 103 organizations two weeks ago. 

Tulkarem, Mr. Avi didn't have a date as to when it 

became a HAMAS Zakat Committee in his opinion. But 1065, another 

document found in the Holy Land files, it's a letter from the PA 

with respect to value-added tax, and attached to it is the 

registration ticket. 

Other documents from 1995. Government's Exhibit 1-173, 

the certificate for the hospital run by Jenin. 

Defense 1109, again found in the Holy Land office, the 

registration certificate, the Al Razi Hospital run by Jenin. 

Government's Exhibit 148, the fact is they say it's run 

by Mr. Zakarneh. The logo is on it, the registration ticket. 

Defense 1070, a letter from an Israeli official in Hebrew is 

attached, the original Hebrew. A letter from an Israeli official 

to Mr. Zakarneh, this person who already years earlier is 

supposed to have been identified as HAMAS. February 24, 1994 

letter to him from a medical services hospital telling him how 

many beds he can have and all the rules and regulations he needs 

to follow to operate. This is the Israeli government with 

complete control over Jenin in 1993 before the Palestinian 

Authority. A letter to Mr. Zakarneh. How can that be if he's 

HAMAS, everybody knows he's HAMAS? This is two years after Mr. 

Avi said it was taken over. That letter was faxed to Holy Land 

in 1998. Still operating at that time. Operating today. 

Qalqilla, Exhibit 1204, defense exhibit. Mr. Avi said

it was HAMAS until 1998 at least. As Government's Exhibit 128 

shows it was established in 1992. There is a letter in February 

of 1997 with the wakf logo and stamp. 

The Islamic Science and Culture Committee, 2-163 says 

it's established 1994, licensed. Holy Land sent it a letter with 

a check list of things it needs in order to verify. That was 

shut down according to Mr. Avi in 1995 for tax fraud purposes. 

Never designated by the U.S.

Hebron, International Charitable Society of Hebron. 

Defense 1206 which dates it back in 1909, as I said before. 

Young Men's Muslim Association which is part of the 

Hebron branch which the government put in four projects there. 

The registration ticket of 1987 attached to a 1994 project 

request. Al Mughtaribien School, why would they put that there? 

It's westernizing. Dr. Brown told you. They wanted it to seem 

that it went to HAMAS. This is a westernizing school this money 

went to. 

Also, I want to talk to you about the Philadelphia 

meeting. The 3 series are the ones found in Mr. El Barasse's 

home. I want to cite to you something Mr. Jonas said, not 

yesterday, but in court during the case. He said that unless it 

can be shown that a defendant received that letter and entered 

into his state of mind with regard to the charges at issue here, 

it wouldn't go to the state of mind. I think it applies just as 

much to the 3 series. There is no proof those documents went

anywhere other than Mr. El Barasse's home. I asked Agent Burns 

about that. They had no evidence that they ever went anywhere. 

Many of them were handwritten. We told you that. Ms. Hollander 

showed you many -- 3-78, 3-10, 3-80, 3-49, 3-92. 4 series as 

well has handwritten documents. You have to ask the question 

before you can rely on those documents. Who wrote them? We 

don't know. Why? We don't know. For whom? We don't know. 

Representing what point of view? We don't know. To whom they 

were communicated? We don't know. Think about relying on that 

kind of evidence to find beyond a reasonable doubt. I submit you 

cannot. 

Documents have problems as well. Government put in 

3-19, the resolution from the government claims a version of 

Occupied Land Fund board meeting in 1991 which by its own 

statements is not that. It's something else. But it says that 

Mr. El-Mezain was going to get a thousand dollars a month. 

Didn't. Said there would be a security appraisal of the Occupied 

Land Fund, never saw that, didn't happened. By Izzat Mansour. 

No proof of that. That Mr. Elashi had to pay $17,000 to the 

Fund. Didn't happen. That the fund would have to pay $25,000 to 

the Central Committee. Never happened. 

Government talks about two sets of books. Why would 

there even be two sets of books in 1991 which was four years 

before HAMAS was designated? There was no need to skulk around. 

Nothing illegal going on, then or after.

These facts support Dr. Brown's conclusion that these 

documents he was shown on direct and the government showed him -- 

some the same and some not. 347, the first entry says Ramallah 

Committee not licensed. It's wrong. Plain wrong. Why should he 

rely on a document like that? No one came in and testified about 

those documents and where they went or who approved them. These 

were about Islamists, not HAMAS. They are not the same thing. 

The Philadelphia transcripts, they say "We as Islamists." It's a 

different thing than HAMAS. The government doesn't want you to 

understand that. They want to stop you from looking at the 

evidence, the totality of the picture. "Brothers, we know that 

can mean a lot of things." One of the things it can mean is 

Muslim Brotherhood. The Palestine Committee could be the Muslim 

Brotherhood. No one said they were talking about HAMAS, except 

the prosecutors. No one testified to that; no one can. No one 

knows the origin of these documents and who wrote them and why. 

2-22, if we could pull that up. With respect to Mr. 

Zakarneh, Jenin Zakat Committee. Doesn't say he's HAMAS. It 

says "Islamist, semi-brother inclined toward the Brotherhood." 

And that letter about the Jenin hospital, Defense 1070, is to 

him. There are descriptions of others. You should look at the 

description about Nablus, Young Muslim Men's Association of 

Hebron. Tulkarem, it says we don't have anybody there, and Mr. 

Beitawi is on there.

remote courtroom is having difficulty hearing you. They ask you 

to speak directly in the microphone. 

MR. DRATEL: Yes, sir. Look at the description. 

Nothing about HAMAS. Some of them don't even say Islamists. The 

term is self-identification. The government played part of 1-318 

A yesterday, the deportee video, where they go around the tent in 

1992, and they said Mr. Hammed Beitawi, they are going to say 

he's HAMAS. He didn't. I don't know if you noticed that. He 

didn't. Same thing with Abu Said. He didn't say he was HAMAS. 

Rantisi said he was HAMAS, but those two didn't say they were 

HAMAS. They want you to not listen or pay attention to the 

printed word or translation. The Government's Exhibit 16-59, the 

Philadelphia meeting, Page 3, he said "The Islamists are weak in 

Nablus." This is 1993, two years after Avi said it's already 

controlled, the Zakat Committee. 

By the way, the Philadelphia meeting, Mr. El-Mezain was 

not there, not in the FISA's, the telephone conversations that 

were intercepted about it after the coverage starts. And you 

would think there would be something on it if it's so important. 

Nothing on Mr. Ashqar or Muin Shabib's wire taps which are 

running at the same time. Nothing about Mr. El-Mezain with 

respect to this meeting. 

Mr. Avi also liked to rely on the kindergarten videos. 

Those videos he shows, none of them were seized from Holy Land or 

Infocom. None of them were in the relevant time period. They

were found by the Israeli government in their raids in 2003, 

2004, not necessarily from the charities but found there. Mr. 

Avi couldn't say what. Dr. Brown saw them. It didn't shock him 

because he had seen them. He told you his conclusion that one 

item was not carrying the day based upon his decade-long study 

and research of this area as a professional. He has devoted his 

life to it, read books about it. 

If you look from the flip side, Holy Land's side of it, 

another important instruction, why is it important from Holy 

Land's side. From some of the accounts, for the conspiracy you 

have to find willfulness. What does that mean? The instruction 

defined willful as -- It means the act to which it refers was 

committed voluntarily and purposely with the specific intent to 

do something the law forbids; that is to say, with bad purpose. 

That is to say, to disregard or disobey the law. You have to do 

it knowingly. 

Conspiracy, "that the defendant under consideration 

knew the unlawful purpose of the agreement and joined it 

willfully; that is, with the intent to join the unlawful 

purpose." So you have to know what Holy Land would think, what 

Mr. El-Mezain would think based upon all the facts about this 

Zakat Committee that I just presented, that they are operating, 

licensed, operating under the nose of the Government of Israeli 

until mid-1994 when the Palestinian Authority takes over, and 

they are registered and licensed in 1997. You have all of these

letters -- Defendant's Exhibits 1070, 1065, 1109. Jenin, 

Tulkarem, the other documents from the other committees with the 

PA logo and the registration information right there. Holy Land 

asks for licenses and gets it. 

Think about all Holy Land did to make sure that it was 

on the right side of the law. Hired an excongressman lawyer, Mr. 

Bryant, to navigate the territory and find out what we do. Are 

we doing anything wrong? They went to the government to learn 

that. They verified all of these projects with those photos. 

What they didn't know at the time I guess is they should have 

been video taping the Zakat Committees. Verified all the orphans 

and all the documents with paper trails. With respect to 

orphans, Dr. Brown established that's not the defendants' view 

that an orphan is someone without a father; it's the Islamic view 

because the father is the breadwinner in Islamic tradition. So 

without the father, you are an orphan. 

They studied the law and the list, and that's the 

conversation between Mr. Shukri Abu Baker and Mr. Elashi which 

you will hear from other counsel. They didn't provide aid to any 

designated organizations once the law was in effect, and they 

made wholly transparent in-kind and monetary transfers through 

banks. And some of them in Israel and some of them in the U.S.

Now, what else did Holy Land get? They got 1-271. 

They got letters from a variety of different organizations. I 

urge you to look at them. It's 10th Anniversary, congratulating

them, from the Halhul Committee. It talks about projects. 

Islamic Zakat Committee of Gaza, talks about projects for Holy 

Land. President of Lebanon, Dr. Brown told you not HAMAS, a 

Christian. By the way, he uses the word "steadfast" in that 

letter which Agent Burns said was a code word for HAMAS. I don't 

think the Christian President of Lebanon was using that as a 

code. I think it means what it means: Steadfast. Political 

Prisoners' Association, not an HAMAS association. Mr. Abington 

told you that over 10,000 people are in jail. The whole prisoner 

issue crosses ideological lines. Dr. Brown told you that as 

well. There is a Palestinian Ministry for prisoners. The 

Palestinian Authority Ministry. They spoke of the broad spectrum 

of prisoners and the special place that prisoners hold in the 

Palestinian society. This is in 2000 right in the heart of this 

indictment. Palestinian Committee of Planning and Cooperation. 

Not the logo, the actual ministry. The Ministry of Social 

Affairs. Those are letters to Holy Land congratulating it on its 

decade of assistance to the Palestinian people. Office of the 

PLO, Office of the President, PLO. You can't get more Fatah than 

the PLO, Fatah being the party of Arafat, the party in opposition 

to HAMAS. Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Development from the 

royal family in Jordan. Mr. Bryant told you, all the government 

had to do is tell them don't deal with these Zakat Committees. 

The government didn't tell them that. Wouldn't tell them that. 

The government didn't know itself. I don't think to this day

they have evidence worthy of belief, certainly not beyond a 

reasonable doubt. 

Another important aspect of this case is timing. Mr. 

Jonas yesterday and the government in its case spent an 

extraordinary amount of time on events happening years before the 

designation of HAMAS, January 1995 which covers the executive 

order. October of 1997 which covers Counts 1 through 10 which 

are the material support counts. The video we played of Mr. 

El-Mezain was from 1988, the first year of the intifada. Seven 

years before the designation. Years before suicide bombings by 

HAMAS. And by the way, at that point Mr. El-Mezain could have 

mentioned HAMAS, praised HAMAS in his speech. It wasn't illegal. 

He didn't mention HAMAS. But he did praise the intifada and the 

children. He talks about martyrdom. Talks about the stone in 

the hand of a child. He talks about the demolished houses and 

the sacrifices by the Palestinian people. Talks about some of 

them being martyred in the pulpit. Look at the government's big 

Power Point, 24-29. It's all from 2001. A lot of evidence, 

post-closure. Post-2001. Khalil Mishal, 2002, Rantisi, 2003, 

Sanabil, Al-Aqsa Germany, 2003. Al Saleh and its president, 

2007. The designations are all after. The whole 6 series of 

documents that Mr. Avi put in, all of these are seized after Holy 

Land is already out of business. The earliest, Spring of 2002. 

Many later. We spent whole days in court on things that happened 

before the designations or after 2001, the entire 3 series. No

document from the 3 series that postdated this investigation. 

The entire 16 series of the Philadelphia meeting and those Ashqar 

conversations, all predesignation. Entire 6 series is after. 

Most of the 2 series documents were well before. Much of the 5 

series of records are before. Look at the American Express 

records, the phone records. It's all outside the time period 

that's really important in this case. 

The Court's instructions will say "You are here to 

decide whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable 

doubt that each defendant is guilty of the crimes for which he 

has been charged. The defendant is not on trial for any act, 

conduct or offense not alleged in the indictment." What's 

missing from after that designation date, from 1995? All those 

faxes to Mr. El-Mezain. There was one in the first week of 

February of 1995. The designation is January 23 of 1995. No 

faxes after that one in February. All the other ones predated. 

Any contacts between Mr. El-Mezain and Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook? 

None. Even though Mr. El-Mezain's wire tap was up from August of 

1994 and Mr. Marzook was not arrested until July of 1995. No 

contacts between Mr. El-Mezain, Ashqar or Khalil Mishal or El 

Barasse or anything like that. No American Express receipts from 

Holy Land after the designation. The fundraising by Mr. 

El-Mezain after the designation? No. They knew his schedule 

from the wire tap. Agent Burns acknowledged that. They knew 

where he was going and all the speeches he was making for Holy

Land. They didn't go put in a single one from him. They 

recovered thousands of videos from the Holy Land. Did you see 

one regarding Mr. El-Mezain after 1995? Any Holy Land 

conferences? Any El-Mezain speeches? Any video tapes from Fawaz 

Mushtaha's house, even though those were recovered in 2005? No.

Muslim Brotherhood, you would think they would be 

designated after the descriptions by the government. Mr. 

El-Mezain gave information about his activity in the Muslim 

Brotherhood. And in the UASR, named names of people in it to 

Agent Burns in an interview in 2002. Yesterday, Mr. Jonas said 

Mr. El Barasse was the archivist for the Muslim Brotherhood in 

the U.S. Who testified to that in this case? And then I realize 

again it was Mr. Jonas who testified. No one testified to that. 

Check the record. Have it read back. Where is the testimony 

that Mr. El Barasse was the archivist? It's an easy answer. 

There is no testimony. 

Yesterday, he also said the security document was 

created by the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm trying to think who 

testified to that. Mr. Jonas. Ask that question. Where is the 

testimony the Muslim Brotherhood created that document? Again, 

it's an easy answer. No testimony. Mr. El-Mezain acknowledged 

he was in the Muslim Brotherhood. The documents establish that 

it existed before HAMAS and during HAMAS, that it's distinct. 

Dr. Brown told you that. Mr. Abington told you that even in 

Palestine there are Muslim Brothers who do not consider

themselves HAMAS. The documents prove it. July 1994, seven 

years after HAMAS has been formed. 378, an agenda. These are 

the different elements of Muslim Brotherhood. 421 from the 

Ashqar search. Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for charity. 

Distinct from HAMAS. All the documents that refer to Islamists 

and Brotherhood, it's Muslim, not HAMAS. They are distinct. 

They talk about the Islamic Action Front in Jordan like it's 

HAMAS. Well, HAMAS was expelled from Jordan in 1990. The 

Islamic Action Front still puts members in parliament today. 

They are not the same. They are different. 

You also have 17-1, the Ashqar wire tap. Even before 

the designation date you have Holy Land not being a member of the 

team operating independently. 6-33, where Mr. El-Mezain is 

interested in Al Razi Hospital and Holy Land does not control 

them, and El-Mezain will not listen because Holy Land is doing 

this job independently based on need, not creed. 

The government yesterday gave lip service to the First 

Amendment. Lip service. Said they said it, but they don't mean 

it. If you look at the entire session yesterday, it was about 

speech, all what people say, not what they do. Nothing Mr. 

El-Mezain did, nothing about knowingly doing so. Association, 

association, association -- that's what the government wants you 

to convict on, but you can't. It's protected by the First 

Amendment. He said he knew Mr. Azzam. They want you to convict 

him for that. Azzam died in 1989. The Court's instruction on

association, "The mere fact that certain persons may have 

associated with each other and assembled together and discussed 

common interests does not necessarily establish proof of the 

existence of a conspiracy." Bear that in mind. The First 

Amendment, Ms. Hollander read it to you yesterday. I'll read it 

to you. "The First Amendment guarantees all persons of the 

United States the right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion 

and association. Because of these Constitutional guarantees, no 

one can be convicted of a crime because of his beliefs, his 

expression of those beliefs or his association."

The government says they are not trying to do that. 

What else are they trying to do with Mr. El-Mezain? The faxes he 

received? That he talked to people in HAMAS? 

Let's talk about credibility. First about the witness 

who wasn't here. Mr. Jacks told you in his opening that there 

would be a Mr. Shorbagi who worked with the defendants who would 

say they were working on behalf of HAMAS. You don't have to ask 

for Mr. Shorbagi's testimony because he wasn't here. He was an 

employee, too. That is what Mr. Jacks told you. So obviously no 

one was here to testify -- not one witness from the government, 

no one familiar with how the Holy Land was operating. No one 

from Palestinian Society saying, oh, yeah, these are all 

identified with HAMAS, everybody knows that. Not a single person 

with the resources the government put in this case -- all the 

surveillance, everything -- nothing. Not a single witness.

And with Agent Burns, as she told Ms. Hollander on 

cross examination, she was only interested in looking for stuff 

that supported her theory, and the Court will tell you if the 

witness has any particular reason not to tell the truth -- "Did 

the witness have a personal interest in the outcome of the case 

or a relationship with the government or the defense?" So ask 

yourself, Agent Burns, when she kept coming up to the lectern to 

direct questions, does she have an interest in this case? Is she 

lying to the government? She is on the prosecution team. That's 

why I talk about personal knowledge. She said she didn't know 

who Madeliene Albright was; she said she was from England. She 

looked it up and came back the next day. When that letter was 

written to Zakarneh by the Israelis, she resisted that. She 

didn't know. She said may have been after. Anyone familiar -- 

Anybody who knows anything -- who wants to know anything accurate 

knew that. She resisted. 

Agent Miranda, just talked about two things, quickly. 

These witnesses to a certain extent almost don't matter once you 

know about the Zakat Committees. But Agent Miranda, two things: 

One is he went into cross examination about the documents that 

show Hammimi was brought to the United States in 1997. He said 

that's because he was no longer HAMAS and everyone knew. It was 

public by 1996 that he broke with HAMAS. Yet in 2001 Agent 

Miranda was trying to manipulate the designation process by 

having Mr. Hammimi designated, even though it was public in 1996

that he had broken with HAMAS. Does he have an interest? 

Defendant's Exhibit 1087 when he alphabetized the list 

they downloaded from Holy Land. I urge you to look at it. He 

wanted to make it seem -- without putting it in evidence, just 

referring to it -- that it showed all the speakers and 

engagements they had for Holy Land in the time period designation 

and other aspects of it, and it turned out that he ran from it. 

He said I'm not confident to draw a conclusion. That's what he 

told Mr. Westfall on cross examination. He wanted to make it 

seem as if after the conversation between Mr. Odeh and Mr. Baker 

where Baker said "Stay away from Deeb Anees, he's HAMAS," that 

they continued to raise money through Anees. When we had the 

document on cross examination it turns out it means nothing, that 

those smaller increments probably were orphan names every month 

after and that Holy Land did not use him. There is no proof that 

Holy Land used him. There is no travel records or anything to 

establish what he tried to say on direct, that all of these 

entries represented speaking engagements. 

Matthew Levitt, with respect to the Zakat Committees, 

not an expert on them, not an expert on the law, doesn't know 

Arabic, not an expert on the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet he opined 

on these topics anyway. Not an expert in Islam. His reliance on 

bad sources. Dr. Brown told you about the Center for Special 

Studies of Israel, political agenda. Peppered throughout 

Dr. Levitt's books. Look at Wikipedia. You can put your own

entry on Wikipedia. You can edit. Testified seven times for the 

government in the last few years. Works in the FBI and Treasury, 

the two agencies that have a stake in this prosecution. 

Major Lior told you there were no videos. Avi told you 

there were. Somebody is lying. I don't know what you say about 

someone who comes in and testifies under an alias and has to 

consult with his lawyer during testimony. Mr. Avi himself here 

under orders, he told you. Is that objective? Under orders from 

the Israeli Security Agency. He has learned everything to 

testify. He has never done anything in an academic or commercial 

way. It's a side line. He does it on the weekends he said. 

Someone testified that having the Israeli Security Agency in 

charge of investigating is like having the fox in the hen house. 

The inaccuracies that are pointed out by Dr. Brown in Mr. Avi's 

presentation -- the Barouk Center from Avi's report, the Mayor of 

Nablus, the Palestinian Authority Attorney General who's totally 

unreliable, corrupt, dismissed. He didn't know about the 

Jordanian 1990 law. He didn't speak Arabic. He said that HAMAS 

was still HAMAS. Judea and Summaria, tried to slip in once on 

direct, and on cross he said I don't know really what it is. How 

about the meaning to Palestinians and Israelis? You have to 

believe Mr. Avi in order not to have reasonable doubt about these 

organizations. Why would you believe them beyond a reasonable 

doubt? Why would you believe Mr. Avi beyond a reasonable doubt 

and the Israeli intelligence he's relying on when the U.S.

government won't, as Mr. Abington told you, when the CIA doesn't 

give that kind of intelligence, that kind of creedence? Talk 

about -- talk about surgery. Think about if Mr. Avi said have 

surgery and you went for a second opinion to Mr. Brown and a 

third opinion to Mr. Abington. Would you hesitate before having 

that surgery? You think you would? I know you would. Probably 

wouldn't have the surgery at all. That's reasonable doubt right 

there. Mr. Abington, Dr. Brown, look at their credentials. I 

couldn't go through his whole resume. Too impressive, too 

voluminous. His career is dedicated to this. Learned Arabic, 

went over there, lived there, did business, talked to people. 

Did it look like he had an axe to grind? Mr. Abington, a career 

U.S. Diplomate. John Bryant, Congressman, lawyer, ambassador. I 

think the one word that describes all of them is integrity. And 

would you choose an ISA agent here under orders or a U.S. 

Diplomate and a professor not getting paid? And Dr. Brown 

consulted with the U.S. government and helped to write 

Constitutions, and Mr. Abington, getting briefings from the CIA, 

as opposed to Avi. All he has is what's here. Secret. Not even 

his name. Mr. Abington, Dr. Brown, Mr. Bryant, are they HAMAS? 

Mr. Garrett cross examined Dr. Brown about the ivory tower, as if 

Dr. Brown was in this ivory tower removed from reality. Well, he 

visited a Zakat Committee. Avi, no. He knows Arabic. He can 

read the Palestinian press for himself. Avi, no. Dr. Levitt 

said it was a good idea to visit Zakat Committees. He would do

it afterwards. Does he read Arabic? No. Avi does read a little 

bit. Can't follow it, he said. Certainly not to the extent of 

reading the papers every day. He can read the translations. 

Dr. Brown taught at an Israeli university. He has made those 

life or death calls with respect to Iraq. You heard him on that. 

He has consulted. He has canvased the Palestinian media 

firsthand for a decade. So who lives in the real world? 

Dr. Brown, visiting Zakat Committees, learning Arabic, living in 

Palestinian society for a year, visiting constantly? Or Mr. Avi 

sitting in front of his computer and working his VCR? Who has 

the practical experience? Who is distant from what's really 

going on? 

Another of the Court's instructions is extremely 

relevant in that regard. "Did the witness clearly see or hear 

the things about which he or she testified. None of the 

government's witnesses saw or heard anything that they testified 

about in this case."

They are all working with someone else's work. 

Secondhand. And the scope of the government's investigation is 

important. The breath of the coverage. August 1994, November 

2003, every phone call of Mr. El-Mezain is monitored. Think 

about a decade of your phone calls monitored. 

We talked about -- We know if he had a cell phone they 

could find out in a second. They could monitor that, too. There 

is no evidence he had a cell phone or anything like that. The

translator Mr. Shafiq said he listened to thousands of call. You 

know about the other wire taps of Ashqar in 1993, Muin Shabib in 

1994, and the Philadelphia meeting. Not only audio and video, 

taping meetings with Ashqar, telephone conversations from 1990 to 

1992. Again, the telephone records they got from Mr. El-Mezain 

before his phone -- before even the wire tap was on. Mutual 

assistance legal treaties with other countries. The subpoenas, 

the letters interrogatory with other countries. Public source 

documents. All the trouble the government went to. Think about 

what they are able or really unable to bring to you about Mr. 

El-Mezain. They talk about what Mr. El-Mezain said. He told the 

truth. You can tell. He disclosed substantial information about 

Marzook, about their relationship. Cousins. He volunteered that 

his other cousin was one of the deportees and affiliated with 

HAMAS, a supporter of HAMAS. He acknowledged that he was in the 

Muslim Brotherhood. He talked about his activism in New Jersey 

with the Muslim Brotherhood. It's not surprising that Mr. 

El-Mezain would be in Marzook's address book. They are cousins. 

That's why. It's the government's responsibility to tell why, 

not to ask to assume all of these why questions. It's the 

government's burden beyond a reasonable doubt. 

The calls between Mr. El-Mezain's number and Mr. 

Marzook's number, no substance. Many of them were one-minute 

calls. That's a hang-up when the answering machine comes on. 

It's the shortest unit on a phone bill. Could have been their

wives or families talking. They are related. We know Ms. 

El-Mezain has contact because she's the one that told Mr. 

El-Mezain that Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook was leaving the country, had 

been released and was heading to Jordan. We talk about the 

deposition, 7-1, and Mr. El-Mezain's answer about IAP. They just 

said no. But it's more than no. Here is the question. The 

question is a long and implicated one. 

"Do you know of any relationship or dealings that any 

of you principals of Holy Land Foundation had with the Islamic 

Association for Palestine in January of 1989 that would have 

caused the IAP to know about the Occupied Land Fund and what it 

was doing?" 

Answer, "No. Actually, we -- You asked me before about 

the people of IAP, and I said to you we know these people, but we 

don't have any relation with them, and they know that we 

established Occupied Land Fund in that time, not not only the 

IAP." The answer wasn't no. The question wasn't is there a 

relationship. The government made it seem that was it. 

Now, the relationship between Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook and 

Mr. El-Mezain, again, disclosed. Told them he was a cousin. 

Agent Miranda said he didn't disclose the nature. But he said 

they were cousins, knew him, grew up with him in Colorado. There 

are checks from Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook to Mr. El-Mezain. I don't 

know if Mr. Garrett will go into this. Mr. Jonas did not. They 

are irrelevant in that they date back from 1989 to 1990. Small

amounts in the context of other numbers, and there is no proof 

that they meant anything, that they have anything to do with this 

case. 

Now ten years' worth, a decade of monitoring every 

single phone call of Mr. El-Mezain -- this is what the government 

introduced. Now, if you remove the faxes from the Islamic 

Association of Palestine, we're left with this, and if you remove 

parts of conversations that the government didn't put in at all, 

we're left with this from a decade. What are these 

conversations? One with Abdulraham Odeh about Oklahoma City. 

Abdulraham Odeh calls El-Mezain. Let's do something in Oklahoma 

City. Another, about the legal defense fund for Mousa Abu 

Marzook, which by the way Mr. Cline established on cross 

examination with Agent Burns was legal and licensed by the 

Treasury. 

Another. Mr. El-Mezain being informed that there is a 

report that Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook is going to be released to 

Jordan. He's so in the loop he has to be told these things. He 

doesn't know. His wife has to call him and tell him that Mousa 

Abu Marzook had been released. This is from a news report 

someone is reading to him. The other one, months before the 

actual release. He doesn't even know. This is the one with his 

wife telling him that Mousa Abu Marzook has been released. By 

the way, on this one he's told your brother is being released, 

and what does Mr. El-Mezain say? Read the transcript. I urge

you to. Read the transcripts. 15 series. This is 15-33. He 

says Mahmud? That's his brother, his biological brother. He 

doesn't know what she's talking about. It takes like a page for 

him to get it. And then one page on January 24, 1995 which is 

not someone from the Holy Land but someone named Abu Bara'a 

saying President Clinton has just designated HAMAS. El-Mezain 

has to be told. He doesn't know. He says right now? Can you 

imagine? And then there are a couple of ones where he's called 

about suicide bombings. Mr. Jonas said yesterday he had a 

particular interest in suicide bombings. That's really an 

extraordinary statement. He testified to that, Mr. Jonas. No 

one else. He gets three calls. Dr. Levitt testified to more 

than a dozen HAMAS suicide attacks between 1993, 2001. He said 

those were only highlights. There were many more. He gets calls 

on three of them, and that makes him particularly interested. He 

gets a fax from somebody, a newsletter. I'll talk about the IAP 

faxes in a second. That's interesting because the one that he 

gets from Abdulraham Odeh, his first response -- And this is 

15-21 and I'll read it to you. And listen to these conversations 

because they are in Arabic. You should really hear the nature of 

his response -- it's not just the printed page that does it 

justice -- to see whether he is happy or has joy or a particular 

interest in this type of activity. He's told there are eighteen 

soldiers dead and sixty injured, and his response is "Oh, God." 

You want to hear joy? Listen to 133, 15-133, when he hears from

his wife that Mr. Mousa Abu Marzook is being released. Listen to 

those conversations. 

There is another conversation, 131, with someone who 

calls about a suicide attack. And at one point Mr. El-Mezain 

laughs, but he laughs because his friend says -- talks about a 

one to one thousand ratio between Israeli and Palestinian lives. 

He says "One Israeli, a thousand Palestinians die," and Mr. 

El-Mezain laughs. It's a bitter laugh from someone who knows how 

devalued Palestinian life is. It's not laughing at the suicide 

bombings. His laugh is a bitter laugh, not joy. Listen to these 

conversations, and you will see his responses. 

The Yaish conversation when he is told that Yaish is 

dead. This is 15-66. I'm sorry. Not 15-66. It's 15-5. He's 

told about the engineer being killed by the Israelis. He's told 

"I just heard they assassinated Yaish," and Mr. El-Mezain says 

"Who did that?" And Mr. Odeh obviously doesn't think he knows 

who he is talking about, and he says "You know, the engineer in 

Palestine." Mr. El-Mezain doesn't necessarily know what they are 

talking about. 

A voice mail from Khalil Mishal before the designation 

of HAMAS, nine years before Khalil Mishal's designation that he 

doesn't return. Doesn't go to a conference. Didn't go to 

Turkey. You would know if there was any evidence that would 

support any of these suggestions. You would have heard about it. 

This is what they wanted to show you is beyond a

reasonable doubt. This is what they wanted to show you about a 

particular interest in suicide bombings. 

The IAP newsletters, look at them. They talk about a 

variety of different sources. They quote the New York Times. 

They quote Israeli newspapers. It's a newsletter from the IAP, 

and I don't think the First Amendment in the Court's 

instructions -- the First Amendment doesn't permit you to convict 

on the basis of what newspapers you read. I asked Agent Burns if 

in 2003 he was asked about the faxes and how he received this and 

why, and there was an answer, and the government objected to what 

the answer would be, and so it was hearsay. So it didn't come 

in. 

There was some confusion about the fax dates on Mr. 

El-Mezain's machine. You know it can't be the fax dates before 

the bombings because they talk about the number of casualties and 

the press reports and things like that. So it's a problem with 

his fax machine. But when Odeh called him about the one the 

government kept pointing to -- but when Odeh called him about it, 

he didn't know about it. He had no idea. Look at 15-59 and 

15-56, the faxes we put in as well. The source of materials -- 

British, Israeli, American newspapers. 

15-143, a conversation between Shukri and 

Mr. El-Mezain. And the government put it in for the purpose of a 

paragraph where Mr. El-Mezain says -- Mr. El-Mezain says that -- 

They are talking about a conversation that Shukri has had with a

reporter and the conversation that Shukri had with the reporter 

about what Holy Land's connection with HAMAS was before 

designation. Mr. El-Mezain says "Tell her what? What HAMAS? I 

mean regarding donations to HAMAS, at that time we're not 

illegal." There is a difference between legal and illegal. If 

you think something is wrong, you comply because you want to keep 

your business afloat. There is no evidence that Mr. El-Mezain 

ever felt differently about the law, that he says don't worry 

about it. Don't worry about the law. We're going to give to 

HAMAS through HAMAS-controlled Zakat Committees. There is no 

evidence anywhere. And he is allowed to have that opinion. It 

wasn't reflected in the conduct. 

Also on Page 11 of that same transcript, this is what 

Mr. El-Mezain says to Shukri after -- during the conversation. 

"By God, I personally believe" -- And we had to put this in. The 

government didn't want this in. "By God, I personally believe 

that people who want to live in peace and those that want to live 

in killing, they will keep killing others, and they are the ones 

who keep claiming to be peaceable." The government wants you to 

believe that these are guarded conversations, that one reflects 

something and the other reflects nothing and they both existed. 

In fact, Mr. El-Mezain abided by the law and knew the difference 

once that January 23rd, 1995 designation occurred. Ten years. 

Think of how many indiscretions you can have in ten years of 

conversations. Not a single conversation of Mr. El-Mezain. How

is the fundraising going for the HAMAS? How is the HAMAS Zakat 

Committees going? How are things going with HAMAS? Not one 

conversation. No one is that good over a ten-year period. You 

know what else? Remember again all the conversations the 

government had, all the notices they had of Mr. El-Mezain making 

speeches around the country, nothing from that ten-year period, 

nothing. 

How paranoid the people at Holy Land were and 

rightfully so to a degree. The Dallas Morning News was after 

them. The Antidefamation League, the Israeli lobby group, was 

after them. They had been the subject of reports continuously 

since the early 90's. The government can't have it both ways. 

They can't say that they guarded everything, but at the same time 

say these are incriminating. You would expect more. There has 

to be more to convince you beyond a reasonable doubt of 

willfulness with a bad purpose, of knowledge. They think Holy 

Land is so careful not to talk on the phone but so completely 

dismissive of being careful to give to Zakat Committees and 

organizations that everybody knows are HAMAS. Doesn't make 

sense. Totally contradictory. The government cannot have it 

both ways. Mr. Abu Baker and Ghassan Elashi are worried about 

even sending letters on behalf of Marzook because everybody you 

know -- But they are going to put their entire business in 

jeopardy by giving to Zakat Committees that are publically and 

unequivocably identified with HAMAS? Not the case. Worried

about the Government of Israel all the time. Worried about 

surveillance by the Government of Israel, even when it's legal to 

give money, they are worried about the Government of Israel. 

They know what happened overseas. That's the reason they swept 

the office for eavesdropping devices. They think they are under 

a microscope, but they are giving to Zakat Committees that 

everybody knows are HAMAS. Doesn't make sense when they know 

they are under a microscope. They are so concerned about talking 

on the phone -- If it's so perfect, what's these calls about 

suicide bombings? Again, Mr. El-Mezain doesn't make any nor 

receives any. 

I want to talk a little bit about some of the things 

the government put in the case that are a red herring, that 

distract you and to show you that the government knows it doesn't 

have a case, but they have to put these things in and spend time 

on them. The letter from the nut, Sultan Mahmoud. The direct on 

Agent Burns and redirect. In the limited time they had in 

summation, they decided to bring that out again. A Xerox 

signature from a crackpot. That's their case. It would be 

laughable if there weren't so much at stake for Mr. El-Mezain. 

It would be laughable that you should rely on it beyond a 

reasonable doubt. 

Look at 2-138, one with very little writing, the second 

testimony of Agent Burns, and it had to do with martyrs. You see 

it says martyrs. Money going to martyrs for Holy Land. She

underlines shahid, shahid. What we found on Page 2 is half of 

them were martyrs -- a massacre -- that were mowed down while 

praying. She acknowledged that. What does the term "martyr" 

mean? And what is the government trying to do when they don't 

give you the full story? You don't need details, names. Don't 

worry about that. Trust us. We know the rest of the picture. 

We tell you this is the picture. 

Aid to special segments. Everybody gives aid to the 

same people, prisoners and martyrs and the needy. Did they prove 

to you a single suicide bomber and his family who got Holy Land 

support? They said it, but they don't prove it. 

The deportees. Mr. Abington said the deportees, the 

U.S. government had their names in 1992 to vet them, run them 

through. No one was designated except for Rantisi. And the CIA 

investigated them. That's what Mr. Abington told you. The 

organizations weren't designated here. Not everybody self-ID'd 

as HAMAS in that video we saw. The deportees condemned by the 

international community. UN resolution, that's in evidence. 

They represented all segments of Palestinian society and were 

supported by all segments of Palestinian society. It was a 

lightening rod for support because of the outrageousness of the 

deportation, and it was three years before a designation, too. 

The government talks about this July 30, 1992 telephone 

call from Mousa Abu Marzook to El-Mezain for one minute. That 

means no phone call at all. Look at the conversation. It takes

longer to say hello if you are an Islamist. They couldn't put 

any of that together, that Holy Land's money had anything to do 

with anything violent. Money went through Israeli banks. 

Documents in evidence, Government's Exhibit 238 and 239 -- 

nothing to do with El-Mezain. They couldn't prove a 

conversation. This is what they have to rely on, but they have 

nothing, and it would be laughable if there weren't so much at 

stake for Mr. El-Mezain. 

Now, the Islamic Relief Committee was shut down by 

Israel in 1996. Mr. Abington said it was an HAMAS organization, 

but we didn't know who knew about it in 1995 or 1994. No 

evidence with respect to that, that these defendants knew. It 

was operating in Israel. You think the Israeli government would 

let it operate in Israel? You think that can be relied on? They 

didn't ask Mr. Abington when he learned it was a HAMAS 

organization. Twenty thousand dollar check to Mr. El-Mezain. 

Nothing wrong with it. You would have heard about it. They 

cross examined the accountant, Mr. Yaish, about it. He said a 

1099, 13-9 -- It was a 1099 issue that Mr. El-Mezain knew he had 

to pay taxes on. You would know if that wasn't so. It would be 

in here. Look at the conversation on Page 3. Shukri says "I 

asked for information from the Holy Land offices." Shukri made a 

decision of how much money. That's why Omar Ahmad is calling. 

How much? You tell me. That's the type of call, not anything 

about the fundraising. 1991, one thing about thousand dollars a

month. Thousand dollars a month for ten years of working, if he 

was -- He was very valuable fundraiser, and Shukri said "We want 

to keep him in the fold. We want to say this is to keep you in 

the fundraising team." He can go other places. He has expenses, 

moving to San Diego, opening an office in San Diego and moving 

his entire family there, and he has expenses. I have to address 

some of these red herrings because I don't know if Mr. Garrett 

will have some. I know Mr. Jonas had some. They don't belong in 

this case, but they show you how weak the proof is that they have 

to rely on. The Islamic Action, I can go on, but I can't because 

I'm limited in time. 

I know you have paid attention. I also want you to 

remember that none of these defendants have been designated, and 

if you look at the Treasury exhibits, 11-5 and Defendant's 

Exhibit 11-11, it's a very low standard. Reasonable cause to 

designate someone for an organization. It's like sea level. 

It's like Mount Everest. That's the difference between the two. 

They haven't even gotten to reasonable cause with Mr. El-Mezain. 

Dr. Levitt said there are not enough hours in the day 

to designate people. Well, from July 31 -- I'm sorry. January 

23rd, 1995 to July 30th, 2007, they designated thousands of these 

organizations. We have the documents. It was time, just not 

proved. Not even reasonable cause. 

Cross examination of Mr. Abington. Do you think for a 

second if the United States Government or the Israeli Government

thought that people were at risk because Holy Land was giving 

money to these Zakat Committees that that information would not 

have been communicated to Mr. Abington who was the United States 

representative to the Palestinian Authority? Do you think for a 

second the Zakat Committees and organizations would be permitted 

to operate for another second if people were at risk? Holy 

Land's money was supporting --

THE COURT: Mr. Dratel, your time is expired. 

MR. DRATEL: Your Honor, if I may borrow a minute from 

my cocounsel. I have half a page. 

THE COURT: I'll give you another thirty seconds. 

MR. DRATEL: The government wants to shout the word 

"terrorism" to you so that you will throw out your common sense, 

but the Court will instruct you that it would be improper to 

consider feelings about an individual's race or national origin, 

is one of those rules. The reason for that burden is the highest 

under the law: The fear that an innocent man will be convicted 

wrongly. A person's freedom is that important. Keep these 

rights in mind when Mr. Garrett speaks again. I won't have the 

opportunity. You can take up that task then and when you 

deliberate -- 

THE COURT: Mr. Dratel, your time has expired. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll take our mid-morning recess 

at this time.

MS. CADEDDU: Yes, your Honor. 

THE COURT: Mr. Dratel, go ahead. 

MR. DRATEL: Thank you, your Honor. You are all that 

stands between Mr. El-Mezain and justice. I'm confident that you 

if you evaluate the evidence and apply the legal principles, you 

will find him not guilty of each and every count against him in 

this indictment. Thank you very much. 

THE COURT: Mr. Cadeddu. 

MS. CADEDDU: There was one witness in this case, one 

witness only, who testified from personal knowledge about what 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader did and didn't do for the Holy Land 

Foundation. One witness who had firsthand knowledge, both Mr. 

Mufid Abdulqader singing with the band and his volunteer work 

with the Holy Land Foundation. The witness with personal 

knowledge of the facts that was so credible and considered so 

important by the government that he was interviewed six times and 

put on the government's witness list to be available to testify 

at trial. That witness, of course, is Mr. Mohammed Wafa Yaish, 

the Holy Land Foundation accountant and also Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader's personal accountant. 

As Mr. Mufid Abdulqader's personal accountant, Mr. 

Yaish had copies of Mufid's personnel records. He knew his 

salary as an engineer for the City. He had being access to all

his records for the band. Mr. Yaish himself has probably seen 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader perform twice, once at a wedding and another 

time at an HLF function in Dallas. As I think he said, the only 

member of the Holy Land Foundation accounting department, Mr. 

Yaish, also had firsthand knowledge of the financial operations 

of the Holy Land Foundation itself. He set rules for financial 

record keeping. He accounted for money that came in and where it 

went. He knew the employees in Dallas, and he also knew the 

employees and had conversations with the employees overseas. Mr. 

Yaish knew and he told you about the roles of the volunteer 

fundraisers for the Holy Land Foundation. Told you that he knew 

how much each of those people had raised. He had direct personal 

knowledge of Mufid Abdulqader's volunteer fundraising work both 

for the Holy Land Foundation and also for other organizations in 

Dallas like mosques and schools. 

Now, Mr. Yaish's testimony, as you will recall, about 

Mufid Abdulqader's involvement in this case with Holy Land 

Foundation was pretty clear. I asked him what Mufid Abdulqader's 

role was at the Holy Land Foundation, and he said he was an HLF 

volunteer. He explained that most of the time Mufid's work was 

as a volunteer fundraiser. Someone who will go out and give 

speeches and collect money at fundraisers and mosques and other 

places. Sometimes he manned telephones during telethons. You 

heard from him that there were approximately twenty to thirty 

volunteer fundraisers that HLF could call on at any one time to

go out and do this volunteer fundraising that he talked to you 

about and that Mufid Abdulqader did. And you saw the list, 

Government's Exhibit 121, Page 2, that lists some of those 

volunteer fundraisers. 

Now, Mr. Yaish testified as well about Mufid 

Abdulqader's singing role with the band. He testified that as 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader's tax accountant he knew the band performed 

at fundraisers and other events and that the band was hired by 

organizations other than HLF and HLF to perform at functions. He 

also testified, as you recall, that the bank was hired to perform 

at about six or seven weddings a year, hired by individuals to 

perform at those ceremonies. 

When you are thinking about Mr. Yaish's testimony, I'd 

like you to take a look at the Court's instruction on 

credibility, and we're going to take a look at that now together. 

That instruction explains to you what factors you should consider 

when assessing the credibility of witnesses. One of those is the 

relationship of the government with the defense, and that is a an 

important criteria for assessing Mr. Yaish's credibility. As you 

recall, Mr. Yaish was speaking both with the government and with 

the defense voluntarily. He met with the government six times. 

He met with the defense attorneys I think three or four times. 

He was open, truthful and cooperative during these meetings, and 

that's something that would help you in assessing the fact that 

he's a credible witness. Mr. Wafa also had personal knowledge of

25
what he was testifying about. Unlike the Government's witness, 

Mr. Wafa Yaish was actually there at Holy Land Foundation, and he 

actually looked at Mr. Mufid Abdulqader's personal financial 

records. 

I want to turn for a second to the charges that the 

government has to prove in this case. Let's talk about what the 

government needs to prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt for 

you to be able to convict Mr. Abdulqader of the charges in this 

case. Mr. Abdulqader is charged in every count of the 

indictment, except for the tax counts. Those include Counts 1 

through 32. He's charged in Count 1 with having conspired to 

provide material support and resources to a terrorist 

organization, HAMAS, and in Count 2 actually providing material 

support, and those involve wire tranfers from Holy Land's bank 

accounts to Zakat Committees between August of 1988 to 2001. The 

next set begin with Count 12. Mr. Abdulqader is charged in Count 

12 with having provided goods and services to HAMAS and charged 

in Count 21 with actually providing those and the basis for that 

is wire tranfers and money sent from Holy Land Foundation bank 

accounts to Zakat Committees. 

In Count 22, he's charged with conspiring to commit 

money laundering. And in Counts 22 through 32 he's charged with 

actually laundering those funds, and those counts refer back. 22 

through 32 are the exact same wire tranfers as are the basis for 

Counts 12 through 21. All of these counts relate to wire

tranfers from Holy Land to the Zakat Committees in the 

Palestinian Territories, and I am going to come back to that in a 

minute. 

With that as the background, let's talk about what 

evidence -- what actual evidence the government brought here to 

prove those charges against Mufid Abdulqader. As I counted, the 

government says exhibits that they put in evidence that make any 

mention of Mufid Abdulqader -- they include eleven paper 

documents, tapes and transcripts of three wire-tapped 

conversations out of I think three or four years of wire taps 

that were on his phones and parts of thirteen video tapes. I 

think I got them all. I tried not to miss any. 

Let's talk about the eleven documents. You are going 

to have piles of documents back there to look at while you are 

deliberating. You are going to get all the documents that came 

in evidence in this case. The documents that make any mention of 

Mufid Abdulqader are a stack of eleven, and let's talk about what 

those are. 

First is Government's Exhibit 121 which is the local 

fundraiser list that we already talked about. The second is an 

Al Najoon invoice. I believe you will recall the testimony about 

this invoice. This shows the band performed in Charlotte in 

September of 1998, and you will remember that Mr. Yaish testified 

that -- or rather up here, that this address is the address of 

Mr. Munser Taleb, who was managing the band at that time before

24

25
Mr. Mufid Abdulqader began managing it in 2000. Mr. Yaish 

explained to you this invoice shows both travel expenses, and 

also down here, this three hundred dollars that you see, that's a 

three hundred dollar fee per person for the band to perform, and 

that was typical, as he told you, of the way the band got paid. 

Now, some other exhibits that we have -- and I'm not 

going through those because we looked at them before, but I'll 

mention them -- are copies of checks to Mr. Mufid Abdulqader for 

fundraising expenses and sometimes reimbursement of airline miles 

and volunteer bonuses. Those are all things the HLF gave money 

to Mr. Mufid Abdulqader for. The government put those in, and 

those are some of the eleven documents, actually four of the 

eleven that you have before you. The government also introduced 

travel itiniraries, and those travel itiniraries were put in 

evidence to show that he did volunteer fundraising in other 

cities for the Holy Land Foundation. 

Another document that mentions Mufid Abdulqader is 

Government's Exhibit 5-28 which is an American Express bill that 

shows travel expenses for band members Mufid Abdulqader and 

Munser Taleb. I want to talk about this one a little more 

because this is the document that the government used to suggest 

to you that Mr. Mufid Abdulqader was lying during his interview 

in 2002, which was simply not true. You may recall earlier in 

this case Agent Burns testified about what Mr. Mufid Abdulqader 

said in his April, 2002 interview. In fact, I have that for you.

And she was asked whether Mr. Mufid Abdulqader first began to 

work, when he told Agent Burns that he first began to work with 

the Holy Land Foundation, and she said he said after he moved to 

Dallas in 1995, and then she talks about how he said he was a 

volunteer and he raised funds on occasion for the Holy Land 

Foundation. Now, the government throughout this case has treated 

the singing -- Mr. Mufid Abdulqader's singing and performing with 

a band as the same thing as fundraising, as the volunteer 

fundraising he did for the Holy Land Foundation. Even yesterday 

Mr. Jonas said and I think this is a quote as best I can get it. 

As early as 1990, we know that Mufid Abdulqader was raising money 

for HLF, and this is based on this Government's Exhibit 5-28 we 

just talked about. But the evidence and testimony in this case 

show that Mufid Abdulqader was a singer with the band that was 

hired not only by the Holy Land Foundation but also by other 

organizations for all kinds of functions. Agent Burns told you 

that there was a lot of discussion. You remember that? I asked 

her about whether it was in her report. A lot of discussion 

during the interview about the band and what it did and where it 

performed. Mr. Mufid Abdulqader didn't try to hide that from 

Agent Burns. He talked about the band and the work of the band 

and the volunteer fundraising for the Holy Land Foundation as two 

distinct things. What we have here and I don't know -- I raised 

this just because I don't get a chance to talk to you again. Mr. 

Garrett may come before you tomorrow and tell you this was a lie.

21

22

23

24

25
But it wasn't a lie. It's just a difference of definition. The 

government defines singing with the band as fundraising, and Mr. 

Mufid Abdulqader made a distinction between those two things 

during his interview. He didn't lie during the interview. He 

was perfectly truthful. In fact, even Mr. Yaish during his 

testimony made the same distinction. He testified -- Now, did 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader singing with the band have anything to do 

with the fundraising he did for the Holy Land? He answered "No, 

ma'am." What was the relationship of the Al Najoon band to the 

Holy Land Foundation? Mr. Yaish said the Holy Land Foundation 

will contract with them to perform at special events. 

Now, I just want you to think as you are thinking about 

this, and if the government tries to tell you about the fact that 

this was a lie during his interview, I want you to think about 

this instruction the Court is going to give you. When two people 

are at the same event or interview, they sometimes have different 

recollections of that event. That doesn't necessarily mean that 

anyone is lying. It's normal. And this instruction tells you 

that is very common and not a basis for you to conclude that Mr. 

Mufid Abdulqader was lying during his interview. 

Now, on a related note, the government introduced 

Government's Exhibit 1-340. That document, as I recall, was a 

list of people who had fundraised for HLF, cities and dollar 

amounts. It was a big thick document. And then if you recall, I 

think it was Agent Miranda said the government ran this in

alphabetical order as well, and we put that in evidence as 1087. 

I am going to use that version because it's in order and easier 

to talk about. Now, the Court has tried to tell you that Mufid 

Abdulqader was a top fundraiser for the Holy Land Foundation. 

That language even appears in the indictment. "A top 

fundraiser." But as Mr. Yaish told you, Mr. Mufid Abdulqader was 

one of twenty or thirty volunteer fundraisers the Holy Land 

Foundation sometimes called on, and in fact, he was average. 

That was the word he used. 

Going back to Defendant's Exhibit 1087 which is the 

list, that list shows money that was raised by different people 

for the Holy Land Foundation and Agent Miranda testified about 

it. He testified this list shows from August of 1997 through 

August of 2000 Mr. Mufid Abdulqader raised $114,194 for the Holy 

Land Foundation. And in fact, those listings take up exactly two 

pages -- I thought I tabbed it, but I guess I didn't. Take up 

two pages in this list. Here we go. Take a look at that. You 

see the bottom of 212. There are a couple of listings, and then 

we have Page 213. You see some money being raised, brought in, 

and then there is a half a page on Page 214. Now, take a look at 

the document. Let's take a look at the first person on this big 

list who's Mr. A. Idris. Mr. Idris is also coincidently the 

first person who appears at the top of the volunteer fundraiser 

list that's Government's Exhibit 1-121. Rather Defense 1087 

which is, as we know, the same as Government's Exhibit 1-340 but

in alphabetical order contains page after page of money raised by 

Mr. Idris. I believe actually thirteen pages -- thirteen pages 

of money raised by Mr. Idris, another volunteer fundraiser on the 

list. Mr. Idris actually raised -- He raised money by himself 

and on other occasions with other people. Money raised by 

himself not with other people was $165,000. Almost $50,000 more 

than Mr. Mufid Abdulqader raised. So there isn't any debate. 

There is no difference of opinion about whether Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader was a volunteer fundraiser for Holy Land Foundation. 

I don't debate that. That's absolutely the truth. But when the 

government tells you that he was a top fundraiser -- he was the 

top fundraiser -- it's not true, and the documents don't support 

it. 

One more document I'd like to talk about before I move 

to the video tapes is Government's Exhibit 21-60. 21-60 is an 

exhibit that the government talked about yesterday. Actually 

yesterday was the very first time that the government even made 

this statement or that any person made this statement. Yesterday 

for the first time, from Mr. Jonas, you heard that Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader attended the Philadelphia meeting, and in support of 

that -- No other witness testified to that. There was no 

testimony about that. That was nothing we have heard the entire 

trial. In support of that, he referenced a voided hotel receipt 

which I am going to show you that has Mr. Mufid Abdulqader's 

signature on the bottom of it. Now, this is the first time that

25
we have heard about this. The government introduced and has 

talked about forever and a day the Philadelphia conference and 

the transcripts of that conference. There are -- I don't know 

how many transcripts there are, but the beginning of every one of 

those transcripts which are in the 16 series contains a list of 

the speakers, who was present. I am going to put this one also 

in the stack of eleven documents. If we take a look together at 

some, not all, because I think there are twenty-five -- twenty or 

twenty-five transcripts of the Philadelphia conference, I am 

going to show you just a few of those. This is Page 1 of 

Government's Exhibit 16-37. Mufid Abdulqader's name does not 

appear on this list as one of the attendees or the speakers. 

Page 1 of Government's Exhibit 16-39, again his name doesn't 

appear anywhere there. Government's Exhibit 16-47, not there. 

16-49, name is not there. And so on and so on and so on and so 

on for every single transcript of the Philadelphia meeting. 

So the government has asked you a question -- I think 

Mr. Dratel referred to this yesterday. The government has been 

posing all of these questions why would this be the case if it 

weren't for that? Well, the government has the burden of proof 

here. That means something. They can't just put these questions 

out there and not answer them and hope you assume the answer is 

something they like. That does not meet the government's burden 

of proof. The Court will instruct you that the government has 

the burden of proof and that never shifts, never shifts to me. I

don't have to prove anything to you. The government has the 

burden of proving -- Now, listen, there is nothing wrong with 

attending a meeting and talking about politics. Nothing wrong at 

all. It's protected by the First Amendment, and I will talk to 

you about that in a lot more detail in a few minutes. There is 

nothing wrong with it. It is protected. There is nothing 

illegal about it. But if the government is going to say he was 

there, they got to actually prove it. They've got to prove it. 

Let's take a look at an excerpt from Government's 

Exhibit 16-25. This is a conversation you saw early in the case 

among some of the folks who attended the Philadelphia conference 

and actually were involved in planning it. This was on Mr. 

Ashqar's line. Now, we see a reference in here and what the 

speakers are talking about and we see it here. They are talking 

about limiting the number of participants in this conference or 

in this meeting because otherwise it's going to become too 

unwieldy, like a conference, and they don't want that because it 

becomes difficult to hear everyone's viewpoint. And then there 

is a reference to a forum or a conference. "What we want is a 

session, I mean. A session, a session or two, especially that 

they will be coming from the festival, I mean." What this is 

telling you, Ladies and Gentlemen, is that at the same time the 

Philadelphia meeting was going on there was a festival, a 

cultural festival of the kind that Mr. Mufid Abdulqader performed 

in, as you have heard and seen from the evidence. The government

knows perfectly well that Mr. Mufid Abdulqader was not at the 

Philadelphia meeting, and there is zero evidence to support that. 

A voided hotel receipt and list after list after list of 

attendees that don't show his name and photographs where he 

doesn't appear. That does not constitute proof. This is just an 

attempt by the government to make Mr. Mufid Abdulqader be more 

important to this case than he actually is. 

Now for the part of my argument that everybody is 

waiting for. How am I going to explain those video tapes? Guess 

what? I don't have to. I don't have to. The First Amendment to 

the United States Constitution means something. If it means 

anything, it means that you can talk, you can sing, and you can 

perform in skits about anything you like. The Court will give 

you this instruction, and I will read it to you because it is so 

very important. "The First Amendment to the United States 

Constitution provides Congress shall make no law respecting the 

establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise 

thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the 

right of people peaceably to assemble and to petition the 

government for a redress of grievance." This amendment 

guarantees to all persons in the United States -- all persons -- 

the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion and 

freedom of association. Because of these Constitutional 

guarantees no one can be convicted of a crime simply on the basis 

of his beliefs, his expression of those beliefs or his

associations. 

Yesterday, you heard Mr. Jonas say Mr. Mufid Abdulqader 

isn't on trial for what he was saying. You heard that. That's 

right. He isn't. He can't because of this right here. Let's 

think back to his argument and what he actually said. Yesterday, 

Mr. Jonas played video tape after video tape after video tape 

after video tape of songs and skits, and in fact, he played the 

same skit twice. It was two versions of the same skit, although 

actually he didn't play the whole skit, as I recall. He just 

played the part at the end. Didn't play the middle of it. I am 

going to put this up here to remind you what we're talking about 

here. This is one of the two skits that we're talking about. 

Now, even though I don't have to explain this because, as you 

know and you will see from the instruction that you will have 

with you, speech is protected by the First Amendment. I don't 

have to explain these skits. Mr. Jonas did something that I 

referred to a minute ago that I can't let pass. He showed you 

just the end of these skits, just that part where the two actors, 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader and the guy playing the Zionist, where Mr. 

Mufid Abdulqader symbolically kills the Zionist. Showed it to 

you twice from two videos. And then just to go back for a 

second, a Zionist as we have learned in the course of this case 

is just the historical term for someone who believes in a 

homeland for Israel. That's what a Zionist is. A Zionist in 

this case is the equivalent of Israel. Now, Mr. Jonas said to

you Mr. Mufid Abdulqader says "I am HAMAS." What could be 

clearer? What could be clearer than that? Well, let's start 

with this premise. There is also the actor playing a Zionist. 

Is he clearly a Zionist? Is what he says in the skit what he 

actually believes? Is that what Mr. Jonas is saying? That actor 

who says anything in a movie or someone who acts in a play is 

advocating what is said? This was a skit, Ladies and Gentlemen, 

dramatizing. And I'm not telling you here that Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader doesn't have strong feelings about Israel or the 

Palestinians. That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is 

this is a skit dramatizing the relationship, the 

Arab-Israel relationship. And at a time during this intifada 

when there is all this emotion of Palestinians around the world. 

All of this emotions because they are hoping that things are 

going to change. The people have been under occupation for 

decades. Something is happening. There is an uprise, and 

organizations including HAMAS that are going to come out and 

speak for the long suffering Palestinian people. That's the kind 

of context for what we're talking about. 

I am going to show you what the government left out 

yesterday. Government's Exhibit 22-22 F is an excerpt of this 

skit that we just had the picture of. I am going to talk about 

it from over here. I don't know if you can see that. In this 

skit -- In this skit Mr. Mufid Abdulqader is playing the part of 

HAMAS, and he says, you see right here, "I protect my land,

Palestine, and you must leave." He's talking to the Zionist now. 

Then the actor playing the Zionist says "HAMAS, this is a new 

melody that you have not gotten used to it." What that actor is 

referring to there is the fact that HAMAS is new. It's a new 

organization. This is the first intifada, and it's something 

that is creating some consternation in Israel. So it's putting 

this in a time frame. The Zionist then says "I am the known 

Zionist, and my situation is known in the world. I am the known 

Zionist, and my situation is known in the world. I must take 

over Palestine and make it Israel."

So what the Zionist is saying there is that he is 

talking about how Israel wants to take over the Palestinian 

Territories and make it all Israel and that Israel is counting on 

the support of the world to allow it to do that. 

There is a discussion here, an argument between the 

parties. I can't go through the whole thing, but they talk about 

who's stronger, who's going to win in this disagreement, and then 

the HAMAS character played by Mr. Mufid Abdulqader says "As many 

as you kill of the children, elderly and women, and the people of 

Palestine do not die. No matter how many you kill, Oh pimp, the 

people of Palestine do not die."

And so what we're talking about is giving voice to 

what's going on, what people in the United States are seeing on 

TV about what's actually happening in Palestine and talking about 

in Palestine in a skit, what's going on and people's feelings

about what's going on. And then down here at the bottom, the 

Zionist says, "This is not your land. This is our land." And 

they say Yehuda and Samarah. "The abundant land of my 

forefathers. And the world knows its history from American to 

Berlin." 

In this segment the Zionist character is making a 

reference to Judea and Summaria and talking about how the world 

will support Israel as it takes the Territories over. And 

Dr. Brown told you, those are the Arab terms as we have learned 

for Judea and Summaria, and those are references to the ancient 

Kingdom of Israel which reached from the sea to the Jordan River. 

What that means is that Israel at least as the Palestinians see 

it in the skit is wanting to have all of Israel from the sea to 

the river, leaving no place for the Palestinians and no homeland 

for them. This is a dialogue between two characters, two people 

playing roles, talking about the intifada. The Zionist character 

later says "The sling will not get me out, nor the stone that is 

thrown on me." And these are references to what's going on at 

this time. The HAMAS character responds "This is your work. 

Against who are you using your tanks and cannons? Against 

unarmed people and children. The innocent people. This is your 

work, oh, Coward, the killing of the elderly and women." And 

then he says "When do we return to our land and complete our 

happiness." And then, yes, the HAMAS character played by Mr. 

Mufid Abdulqader symbolically kills the Zionist. This Ladies and

Gentlemen is political speech. This is what the First Amendment 

was designed to protect, right here. The First Amendment reaches 

it's highest zenith, highest level, when it's protecting 

political speech, and that's what we have here and what the 

government is trying to criminalize. 

Another point on the video tapes themselves, all of 

them -- I think twelve or thirteen of these video tapes, these 

are clips that show Mufid Abdulqader in some form or another. 

There are thirteen of them that I was able to determine. All but 

one of those dates from the early 1990's or even before in the 

late 1980's. A couple of them are undated, and Mr. Jonas told 

you admitted yesterday that they are old. Don't forget it's the 

government's burden of proof. These videos are all predating the 

designation of HAMAS with one exception, and he talked about that 

yesterday. That was 1-315, and that tape, as you recall -- I'm 

not going to show it to you because we don't have time, but that 

tape shows Mufid Abdulqader reading from a piece of paper. 

Remember where he stands up and reads it, and he says the women's 

community sends greeting to Sheikh Yassin and Rantisi. And what 

the first instruction tells you is it is never illegal -- it is 

always protected -- to talk about whatever political thing you 

want to talk about. You can talk about terrorist organizations. 

You can talk about terrorists. The designation of HAMAS did not 

change that. It's legal today. I could stand here -- In fact, I 

am standing here. I could stand on the street corner and talk

about HAMAS. We can all say we love what HAMAS is doing. We 

advocate whatever we want to advocate. That is free speech, and 

that's what's protected. 

Now, I just want to go back one second to the very 

famous buried video tapes in Fawaz Mushtaha's backyard. The 

government throughout said why did he bury them if they weren't 

incriminating. You saw them. You know from the instruction that 

what's on them is protected. I'll tell you why he buried them. 

Because he was afraid he was going to end up right here being 

prosecuted for his political speech. That's why he buried them. 

Let's take stock of the evidence we have talked about so far. We 

have learned from the government's eleven documents and these 

thirteen video tapes that we have discussed today that Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader was a singer with a traditional ethnic Palestinian 

band that was hired to perform at conventions, fundraiser and 

personal celebrations like weddings around the country. This was 

a hobby for him. We know it was a hobby for him really from when 

he first moved to this country. When he was studying for his 

engineering degree in Oklahoma, studying for his masters, while 

he was getting married and having children and moving to the City 

of Dallas to work as an engineer he was engaged in this hobby of 

singing in the band. We know that the Holy Land Foundation was 

one of the organizations. 

THE COURT: Ten minutes remaining.

of the organizations that hired the band as early as 1990. We 

know from the video tapes, as we talked about, that tensions were 

running pretty high in the late 80's and early 90's. There was a 

lot of hope that HAMAS was the answer at that time. We have 

learned sometime in the mid-1990's when Mufid moved to Dallas to 

take a job with the City of Dallas he began volunteering for the 

HLF and other organizations. He raised money for the Holy Land 

Foundation on his own time as a volunteer fundraiser. I also 

told you in opening -- and I just want to make this clear -- that 

even Israel supported -- We're talking about Palestinians 

supporting HAMAS. In the early days, even Israel supported 

Islamic institutions in the early days as a counterweight to the 

PLO, the secular nonreligious organization. I believe Dr. Levitt 

told you about that. What have we not heard? We have not heard 

anything relating to the charges in the indictment. We haven't 

heard any evidence that Mr. Mufid Abdulqader acted willfully; 

that is, as you will see in the instructions, with specific 

intent to disobey or disregard the law. You have heard nothing 

about that. You haven't heard any evidence that he willfully 

conspired to fund HAMAS by making wire tranfers to Zakat 

Committees out of HLF bank accounts. As Mr. Yaish told you, 

Mufid Abdulqader was not an HLF employee. He didn't have a desk, 

a phone, an e-mail address. He didn't decide where the money 

went. He didn't have access to the financial records, the 

computers. He could not write checks. He could not make wire

tranfers. All he did was act as a volunteer fundraiser, as did 

every other volunteer fundraiser, to donate his time and money to 

an organization he believed was feeding and helping hungry, 

destitute people in the place where he was born. Mr. Mufid 

Abdulqader's name doesn't appear on any telephone list -- not on 

Marzook's list, not on the Palestine Committee list. Doesn't 

appear in the Palestine organization chart. Not on any 

incorporation document for HLF or any other organization you saw 

in this case. 

So if he is in fact -- if he was in fact one volunteer 

fundraiser out of twenty or thirty that the Holy Land Foundation 

used, one band member out of the eight or ten we have seen 

performing at any time, what has the government given you to show 

that he's any different from anybody else? Why is he here? Why 

do they think he's guilty? There is why. There is why, because 

his half brother is the specially designate terrorist Khalil 

Mishal. That's why. He's related to a bad guy. 

Now, maybe when you heard about the fact that he was 

the half brother of Khalil Mishal in opening statements you 

thought you might hear about some contacts between Mufid 

Abdulqader and his brother, meetings or telephone conversations 

or some sort of conspiratorial something, anything, something 

more than a brother relationship you heard about, something from 

the audio tapes and the conversations, the three of them. These 

go with the other things the government has brought to you. Go

in the stack. Perhaps more than him wishing for Khalil Mishal's 

wife to have patience in the face of adversity or talking to his 

friends and family about how he hoped his brother would live 

after the poison attack. Now, you can be sure with the resources 

this government has and the cooperation it has had with Israel 

and all the investigative resources the government has if there 

was something, some evidence of some sort of interaction between 

Khalil Mishal and Mufid Abdulqader, you would hear about it. You 

would have heard about it. What did the government give you? 

The best they could give you was who better to trust than family. 

Now, a cliche is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you 

don't believe me, ask Mr. Jacks. He told you about it in 

opening. He said now does that make them guilty of these 

charges, the fact that they have relatives? Of course not. He 

knows that's what the law says. But it's something you are 

entitled to know to inform you when you make your decision, and 

that evidence will be presented for you to consider along with 

the rest of it. Why does he went you to consider it? If you 

can't convict somebody for it, why does he want you to think 

about it? He wants you to think about it so that you will hold 

Mr. Mufid Abdulqader responsible for his brother. 

When I talked to you before, I made some promises about 

what the evidence would show, and I hope I have kept those. I 

think I have. And I told you that some of the government's 

evidence would fall into the category protected by the First

Amendment. That's still true today. The First Amendment 

protects our beliefs, our right to express our beliefs even if 

the feelings are strong -- the Israelis, the Palestinians, the 

conditions they live in. The First Amendment protects our right 

to worship as we please, including volunteering for an 

organization that sends food to the hungry. The First Amendment 

protects our right to associate with whom we please. A step 

back. The First Amendment protects first and foremost our right 

to express our beliefs and our right to worship, and it protects 

our right to associate with whomever we please which I hope and 

believe includes the right to hope that one's half brother lives 

to see another day. The government has the burden of proving to 

you beyond a reasonable doubt that Mufid Abdulqader did what is 

charged in the indictment. What is charged in the indictment, 

Ladies and Gentlemen, not that he sang songs and performed skits 

that talk about HAMAS years before HAMAS was designated and years 

before HAMAS considered a single terrorist act. The government 

doesn't have any such proof. They don't even have reasonable 

cause to put Mr. Mufid Abdulqader on the designated terrorist 

list. They didn't even have that quantum of proof. You have 

heard all the evidence, and there isn't much on Mufid Abdulqader, 

just this little stack here, and in fact, this big stack, as I 

told you, two pages of this -- two pages of this document relate 

to Mufid Abdulqader. So what we're really talking about is this 

right here and thirteen of these. I will not have the chance to

talk to you again to respond to Mr. Garrett's argument. I tried 

to anticipate some of those, but remember nothing he says can 

change what Mr. Yaish said. Nothing he says can change the fact 

of this little tiny stack of documents over here, and nothing he 

says can change the fact that all of these video tapes were 

filmed years and years ago in a completely different world than 

we live in today and that every one of those video tapes is pure 

speech protected by the First Amendment. Please, please resist 

the government's invitation to punish Mufid Abdulqader for the 

sins of his brother. The evidence and not prejudice mandates 

only one just verdict in this case, and that verdict is not 

guilty on all counts of the indictment. 

THE COURT: Ladies and Gentlemen, although it's a bit 

earlier than we normally break for lunch, I think this is a good 

time to take our midday recess. Please remember to observe the 

instructions I gave you regarding your conduct as jurors while 

we're apart for lunch. We'll be in recess until 1:15. 

 (Recess)

THE COURT: Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. 

We'll hear next for Mr. Westfall, counsel for Mr. Odeh. Mr. 

Westfall, do you want any warnings about your time? 

MR. WESTFALL: A ten-minute warning. And also Ms. 

Moreno has said if I do run over she would give me up to ten 

minutes. So I have a ten-minute warning on my own time. Would 

you please flip it over to the defense computer?

THE COURT: Yes, sir. 

MR. WESTFALL: Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. I 

am going to speak for Abdulraham Odeh. This has been a long 

case, and I want to join everyone who has spent the time. We 

have set a record for both of us. We have now reached the part 

where you all get to make a very important decision in everyone's 

life, and one thing I want to stress, a couple of areas of law 

that I want to first talk about before we get into the case. 

Number one is separate consideration. Each defendant in the case 

is entitled to separate consideration of his culpability. 

Everybody in the case will have a separate verdict form. It will 

be multiple pages, but every person has a separate verdict form, 

and that will underscore how everyone will get separate 

consideration, and that's the only way that anything can happen 

with any semblance of fairness in the criminal justice system. 

We're all judged by our own acts, and the criminal justice system 

is no different. 

The second thing is the burden of proof, of course. 

The government has the burden of proof from beginning to end, and 

the burden never shifts. Do you all see the screen from where 

you are? Along with the burden of proof is the right of everyone 

not to have to testify in their own trial. And you have been 

instructed and we spoke about that in jury selection a little 

bit. It's another cornerstone of our criminal justice system. 

It would be so incredibly unfair if it weren't any other way. So

21

22

23

24

25
I wanted that to be on your mind as you get ready to deliberate. 

The third thing with the burden of proof, the 

presumption of innocence goes along with that. The only way to 

overcome the presumption of innocence is for the government to 

bring you proof beyond any reasonable doubt, and the Court will 

define that as proof of such a convincing character that you 

would rely upon it and act upon it without hesitation in the most 

important of your own affairs. So you think what are the most 

important of my affairs. Putting an elderly parent into a 

hospice or into an assisted living home. Putting your child in 

school. These are decisions, crucial decisions that we hold very 

dear. But the type of proof that the law contemplates in every 

criminal case, including this one, is that this proof be of such 

convincing character that you would make a decision like that, 

that you would act on that decision and that you would do those 

things without hesitation. It's by far the highest burden in the 

law, period. That's another one of our very fundamental 

protections that we spent two hundred years trying to protect, 

over two hundred years now. 

The issue of knowledge and intent, there is a couple of 

indications here for Abdulraham Odeh for everybody but Abdulraham 

Odeh is who I am going to address. This is the conspiracy count 

which you are looking at here. There is three of them. Several 

substantive counts, money laundering. Every one of them has the 

requirement of knowledge and intent. They call that knowingly

and willfully. Okay? Willfully with the intent -- with bad 

motive. Sometimes evil intent but bad motive and intent. You 

got to know what you are doing. You got to agree to what you are 

doing. Basically the phrase is you can't guess someone to 

guilty, you can't speculate someone into the penitentiary. You 

all know that. There is a different between facts and 

speculation. Facts is what we're concerned with when we're in a 

criminal trial. Speculation is what we try to weed out. That's 

what all of this does. That puts effect to those protections. 

Fact, Holy Land Foundation gave money to Zakat 

Committees. Speculation, the money went to buy guns, money went 

to buy bombs, bullets. There is not a shred of evidence to show 

that. What we're talking about here is pure dee one hundred 

percent charity. That's the fact. Anything beyond that is 

speculation. So the issue is like Mr. Jacks said. You know what 

was on the defendant's minds when they gave money to these Zakat 

Committees, state of mind. That's the fine line we're walking 

when we talk about the 5th Amendment and the state of mind and 

the First Amendment and the state of mind. So let's talk about 

that. 

Let's look first at Abdulraham Odeh and how he fits 

into the Holy Land Foundation. We know that Abdulraham Odeh came 

to work for the Holy Land Foundation February 1st of 1994. And 

what did he do? Well, first thing he had to fill out weekly 

reports. He had to -- He had to say how many hours he worked in

a week. He had to say how many times he called headquarters and 

why he called headquarters, and we saw all of this during my talk 

with Agent Burns, that he had to say what he did out in the 

field, what his projects were. We know that he had to say how 

many hours he worked out in the field and the fact that he had 

coin boxes that he had to tend to and collect the coins out of 

and place those coin boxes and then send that money down to 

headquarters. We know that Abdulraham Odeh went to quarterly 

meetings like all the other representatives and all the other 

offices. Quarterly meetings in Dallas. And we know from 

speaking with Agent Burns that Shukri Abu Baker had an American 

Express card where he would purchase the tickets for Abdulraham 

Odeh and others. Abdulraham Odeh didn't have a company credit 

card or anything like that. Four times a year he went to 

headquarters and had these meetings and duly reported it on his 

forms. He also did conventions. This is the ISNA convention. 

When he went to a convention. This is what he did. He set up a 

booth like this one. Ms. Suleiman testified to that. And the 

pictures and projects would be up on the booth and perhaps some 

crafts and such. But he went to these conventions, and he sought 

donations, sponsors for orphans, and showed off Holy Land 

Foundation projects which you saw in the pictures while we were 

talking to Ms. Suleiman. Yesterday, Mr. Jonas said that Odeh 

opened the New Jersey office. Well, Odeh certainly worked in the 

New Jersey office. He was the first employee at the New Jersey

office, but he didn't open the New Jersey office. These are the 

documents right here in front of you that show who did. And of 

course, it wasn't Abdulraham Odeh. And Abdulraham Odeh was an 

employee, pure and simple. Abdulraham Odeh was not in the Muslim 

Brotherhood. Abdulraham Odeh never met Marzook. Wasn't in the 

Palestine Committee. He wasn't at the Philadelphia conference. 

He wasn't incorporator for any of those early corporations. He 

wasn't on the board of any of those early corporations that we 

heard about. He wasn't an incorporator or board member of the 

IAP. He wasn't on the board of Holy Land Foundation, never went 

to a board meeting of Holy Land Foundation, had nothing to do 

with the creation of a Holy Land Foundation or the OLF that 

preceded it. Abdulraham Odeh never gave any speeches. He didn't 

raise the most money. Keifa Mustafa outraised him four to one. 

Never went to Palestine and dealt with any Zakat Committees. 

Never dealt with any organizations in Palestine. Abdulraham Odeh 

never signed a wire tranfer. He never made a decision about 

where to place an ad. He never made an executive decision during 

his entire tenure with the Holy Land Foundation. Abdulraham Odeh 

was the New Jersey representative of the Holy Land Foundation, 

and he was a relief worker. I want to see in a second what the 

evidence is that they have brought you to show that Abdulraham 

Odeh ought to be a part of this case. Five hundred bankers' 

boxes. Five hundred bankers' boxes of records and video tapes. 

This is what they brought pertaining to Abdulraham Odeh: One

book. A pamphlet that was pre-1989. Another pamphlet that was 

1991. A picture of Sheikh Yassin from 1990, and there is no way 

to really tell where this was in his office, but you can see the 

correspondence. There is no tack marks. It's not framed. 

Another picture, this is that picture that -- I think this is the 

only document that Agent Miranda spoke about pertaining to 

Abdulraham Odeh, and that's this guy when he is quite a bit 

younger, a wadded up newspaper picture. We know that Abdulraham 

Odeh was in three intifada festival videos in the audience. And 

those were certainly 1990 or thereabouts. That's pretty much it. 

Oh, the Sultan Mahmud letter which has been discussed enough in 

this trial. The man sends his letter with a twenty-five dollar 

money order, and the only additional thing I can say is God help 

me if I ever get judged by the letters that whackos have sent me. 

This has no bearing whatsoever on Abdulraham Odeh's state of 

mind. Okay? Understood that there is nine years of FISA calls, 

nine years of calls that were intercepted by the United States 

Government. And those nine years of calls, we heard how FISA 

works, that the language specialist makes a decision on what's 

pertinent and what's not based upon what the agent tells him to 

do. The pertinent cuts are made and then whatever comes into 

court. There was five cuts involving Abdulraham Odeh that came 

into court. Three of those were calls where Abdul is calling 

El-Mezain and telling him something is in the news. Heard this 

on the news and called El-Mezain and said have you heard the

news. That's these three calls. January 22nd, 1995; March 3rd, 

1996. And January 5th of 1996. January 22nd, 1995 is the phone 

call where Abdul calls and says there has been a beautiful 

operation about a suicide bombing, and I believe you heard it, 

but you can take my word for it there is excitement in his voice. 

There is. And that's the hardest thing in this case for us. 

It's probably a big reason why Abdul is in this case. 

A couple of things I want to bring up, and then I want 

to discuss that call with you all a little bit. First, the news 

is the news. This was news. This was heard around the world. 

How Abdulraham Odeh or anyone else responds to the news is 

something completely in his right. We don't go to war -- like 

the war we're in now. We don't go to war to vindicate the right 

to hear things we want to hear. Our First Amendment allows us 

the ability to hear things we don't want to hear because it gives 

us the ability to say things that we want to say. Second of all, 

Abdulraham Odeh was in New Jersey when this happened. He had 

nothing to do with the suicide bombing. He heard it on the news 

with tens of millions of other people all at the same time. That 

really doesn't explain the emotion. How could he be happy about 

that? I have no experience parallel to what it must be like to 

be a Palestinian. But that may be somewhere near where we need 

to go. This call happened less than a year after Barouk 

Goldstein went in that mosque and killed those twenty-nine people 

who were worshipping on their knees. They were executed. After

that happened, the settlers erected a monument commemorating him. 

Again a year later, they had a demonstration commemorating what 

he had done. And how that looks through the eyes of a 

Palestinian I think is the only way to begin to understand how on 

January 22nd, 1995, Abdulraham Odeh might be happy to see 

something bad happen to Israel. I don't know that's a HAMAS 

emotion as much as just a Palestinian emotion. I can only guess. 

If seven hundred thousand refugees living in these camps for 

three generations -- The Palestinians, you know, we can't settle 

it. The Arab-Israeli convict is way bigger than me. We can't 

settle it. But after what we have seen, I think the Palestinian 

people can look upon Israel as a bully that pretty much gets 

whatever it wants. I can see the Palestinian side of that, and I 

can see how on January 22nd, 1995, Abdulraham Odeh would be happy 

with this as caustic and corrosive as that emotion is and 

unfortunate. 

One other point. They killed Sheikh Yassin in a rocket 

attack and killed ten or twelve innocent people when that 

happened, and I doubt too many Israelis were sitting around 

crying about that. There has been innocent people killed on both 

sides, and it's tragic. 

January 5th, 1996, the death of the engineer. By the 

way, contrast that with the March 3rd, 1996, a year later, 

basically he calls El-Mezain and says did you hear the news. No 

happiness, no joy. January 5th, 1996, he makes another phone

call to El-Mezain and tells him the engineer has been killed. 

Just heard it on the news. Think for a moment about who this man 

was, this Yaish. He was almost like a folk hero to Palestinians. 

Not HAMAS. Certainly they adored him. But Palestinians of every 

stripe liked him. He could strike fear in Israel like no one 

else. They had a year long man hunt trying to get this guy, 

trying to kill him, and when they finally did, you know what? It 

was news, and once again Abdulraham Odeh hears the news and calls 

El-Mezain and tells him the news. But we know another thing 

about the engineer. We know that Abdulraham Odeh sponsored his 

youngest child as an orphan through Holy Land. We need to 

discuss that. I'd like to set a couple of parameters here. One, 

you are looking at the birth certificate for Bara'a who's the 

older child of Yehia. Yehia was three when his father was 

killed. What happened after his father was killed? He goes to 

the Mercy Orphanage where he goes and stays with about a hundred 

thirty other kids and gets forty-five bucks a month from the Holy 

Land Foundation, and you can look at every single one of these 

documents. As time goes by, as he stays in Gaza in an orphanage 

and then as he goes into Nablus, he receives the exact same 

amount as all the other kids, every single time. Mr. Avi said 

that if you give money -- if you single out special segments for 

aid, then you are HAMAS. You are rewarding them. And this kid 

was not singled out for special treatment. He received the same 

thing as all the other kids who are obviously not martyrs or you

would have heard that. But the analysis doesn't stop there, 

according to Mr. Avi. Because if you don't distinguish between 

special segments, give aid to everyone regardless of their 

politics, then you are trying to win the hearts and minds of 

Palestinian people and groom them for future suicide operations. 

So the only safe route, the only way to really play it safe is to 

not give aid to the Palestinians which I'm certain would be Mr. 

Avi's choice. But I don't think that would be the right choice. 

I want to look at the big picture for just a little bit 

on this child. When this child, when his father was killed, this 

child was a baby. And you know what? His father made choices 

that got him killed. Okay? There might can be debates on either 

side of the segregation wall as to who's more at fault or who 

should have been at fault or how it should have been done. But I 

tell you those debates would not include whether or not this baby 

was at fault for anything his father did and for how his father 

died, and I have seen the video tapes along with you of these 

Palestinian women holding pictures of their loved ones and saying 

"Thank God, Thank God my son was a martyr. Thank God, my husband 

was a martyr." That's just great. You know what that is? 

That's called steadfastness. That's called keeping a stiff upper 

lip in the face of overwhelming adversity which is what steadfast 

is. This small child who has no concept of jihad, who doesn't 

understand what martyrdom is, who doesn't understand the concept 

of occupation, this small child in his quieter moments at night

just wishing he had a dad -- Because they are human beings. They 

are human beings and they feel pain, human beings feel loss, 

human beings feel grief regardless of how steadfast they are. 

This kid wouldn't have traded his dad for forty-five bucks a 

month and a spot in orphanage, but if that's the best that he can 

do, he ought to get it. He ought to get it. 

One other thing about Yehia before we move on. Taking 

care of an orphan has a special place in Islam. It has a special 

station in Islam, and we have heard why. Mohammed himself was an 

orphan, and Natalie Suleiman testified that she had an orphan and 

didn't talk about it, and she didn't even know that Abdulraham 

Odeh had an orphan let alone who his orphan was. Why? Because 

that would be the Christian equivalent, the Muslim equivalent, 

and it's all the same of carrying your alms before men. She said 

it would reduce your reward. When you give alms, do not let your 

left hand know what your right hand is doing and give in secret 

and the follower who receives in secret will repay you. When we 

feed you, we do this for the sake of Allah only. No repayment do 

we desire, nor thanks. It's all the same which by the way really 

highlights something the Judge said several times. Mr. Jacks 

said to Natalie Suleiman, did you hear or did you know that he 

traded one orphan for another? First of all, that's completely 

repugnant to Islam just as it would be to Christianity. 

Secondly, that's a good example of why the Judge has told you 

over and over that the lawyer's questions are not evidence.

Religious obligation. What is the use of having a famous orphan, 

quote unquote, if you can't brag about it. On January 25th, 

1995, this child became a fatherless child who needed help. 

There has been a document coming in evidence from the 

headquarters in Dallas where the people in Gaza were saying, hey, 

we forgot to send you the applications for the Yehia Yaish 

children. Abdulraham Odeh never saw that. He sent his fifty 

bucks a month. The September 12, 1999 phone call, that's the one 

where Shukri and Abdulraham Odeh are talking about the Deeb Anees 

situation. And you know I guess it's in evidence because Shukri 

used the word "SAMAH," but remember how we went through it, Agent 

Miranda and I, and from the big picture, from the zoom-out, what 

Shukri is telling Abdulraham Odeh is don't take this man's money 

because he has aligned himself with HAMAS. And you know what? 

Abdul already knew that. He didn't have to be told. That right 

there is real evidence of the state of mind. That is evidence of 

the state of mind. 

The 4-19-96 phone call, that's the one where Odeh calls 

El-Mezain and says let's do something about Oklahoma. Let's do 

something about the Oklahoma City situation. And yeah, it will 

make us look good. Fine. And charities self-promote. Phone 

calls that we don't have in here but we heard about though, by 

the way, is when Egypt Air crashed, Abdulraham Odeh calls Shukri 

and says we got to do something about this. And when they have 

two earthquakes in Turkey, Abdulraham Odeh calls Shukri and says

we got to do something about this. He was supposed to go on that 

mission. Abdulraham Odeh was in the business of charity. 

Yesterday, Mr. Jonas said would a real charity do that. 

Would a real charity do that. May of 1996, we saw this video. 

We watched this video together. This is when Abdulraham Odeh 

went to Egypt and got two truck loads -- a double truck load -- 

full of supplies and went to this camp that was on the Egypt side 

of Rafah, and we went through this together. We watched as the 

trucks pulled into the camp. We watched the people. We watched 

as they pulled into this UN school. This is a UN camp. And how 

Abdul worked with the man that was there and these forms. 

Remember the first time we talked about those forms. We now know 

that those forms accompanied every single project they did. This 

is how the recipients were documented. They signed these forms 

or if they were illiterate they put their fingerprints on the 

forms. And we did these forms. We saw many of those forms. We 

did them at Rafah. Do these people here look like they are part 

of a deception or is this maybe what a real charity does? These 

people look like real recipients of charity. 

There is Abdul Odeh doing what he did. He's in the 

charity business and that right there is the reason why he went 

to Rafah, to take two truck loads of food to people that needed 

it. That's what he did. Is that what real charities do? That's 

what he is. He went and gave real charity to these people on 

behalf of the Holy Land Foundation, but that's what he did.

That's his state of mind. 

And in February of 1997, we know that he went to Jordan 

and did the same thing. There is two different -- On this video 

which you all have there is two different refugee camps where he 

gave food packages. Here they are putting their fingerprints on 

the forms. Getting their food packages. Here is another camp 

right here. Same thing, over and over and over again. 

May, June, 1989, Abdulraham Odeh goes to Albania 

because of the Kosovar crisis, the ethnic cleansing. He goes to 

Albania and spends a month there. What does he do while he's 

there? He works with the UN. He calls Shukri from there and 

says, hey, there are groups here we need to avoid. There are 

groups that are dangerous and we need to avoid. We need to stick 

with the UN. What does a real charity do? When a real charity 

goes into a large scale operation like this, the real charity 

hooks up with the UN program and hooks up with the Catholic 

Relief Services which is what Abdulraham Odeh did and brought a 

mobile bakery, brought two ambulances and brought an entire ship 

full of flour and all the other ingredients to make bread for 

refugees, and when he left, when they left, they left all of that 

stuff there as a donation. This is a far cry from that hundred 

thousand dollar, five thousand dollar thing we heard that, of 

course, now we know was a mistake. But I mean this wasn't 

anywhere near Palestine. Is this a cover? Is this deception? 

This is a relief mission, and this is what real charities do, and

that's what was on Abdulraham Odeh's mind. 

They did food packages. They did the bakery. These 

are all pictures that are in evidence. These are the recipients 

of the charity. This is what Abdul Odeh did. I can only guess 

what those men in that picture have been through, and when they 

get finished with it what they see is Abdul Odeh giving them some 

relief. 

February 9, 1991, Odeh worked for months to try to get 

this pantry together. We heard from Natalie Suleiman that he got 

the health certificate, that he oversaw the construction. 

Natalie helped him. He got the food. He worked with the 

emergency food coalition. He got -- He got the volunteers. He 

put it all together, and then he invited all the dignitaries. 

And in that picture there is two mayors. There is an assistant 

to a mayor. Also came that day was an aid to a congressman. Of 

course, there was El-Mezain and Abdulraham Odeh. And this was 

his baby. This food pantry that was supposed to feed over a 

hundred people a month. 

This is what Abdulraham Odeh did. This is real 

charity. This is not a cover for something. This is what Odeh 

was about. I'm not very far from winding up. I want to talk to 

you a little bit longer about the state of mind because state of 

mind -- You know the evidence of a person's state of mind comes 

from basically any source. You know you walk a fine line when 

you start talking about the First Amendment. But what other

evidence do we have -- the evidence of state of mind of 

Abdulraham Odeh? How about all of those pictures that Natalie 

Suleiman talked to us about. Those were projects that were done 

by the Holy Land Foundation, those pictures, those photographs 

she said were all up on the walls down in the Holy Land 

Foundation down in Richardson. Those exact same photographs are 

the kinds of photographs that were on that booth that Abdul set 

up at the conventions. Those exact same photographs were in the 

projects that Abdul was supposed to show people to try to get 

donations. Those are the pictures. That is the face of Holy 

Land Foundation that Abdulraham Odeh saw. That's it. I 

challenge you to look at those pictures and find anywhere where 

there is a Holy Land Foundation symbol and they put their symbol 

everywhere. The business of charity is like that. You 

self-promote. Look for one where there is HAMAS something or 

another and a Holy Land Foundation logo. And you are not going 

to find it. And we put as many of those pictures in evidence as 

we could. You are not going to find it, and this stuff that was 

collected by the IDF in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Abdulraham Odeh 

never saw any of that. 

THE COURT: Mr. Westfall, you have ten minutes 

remaining. 

MR. WESTFALL: He never saw any of that. What he got 

was pictures of the projects and things like that. Finally, when 

he had this opening ceremony, Jim Lanso was the head of the food

coalition the emergency food coalition, and Jim Lanso came to 

this opening ceremony, and I want to show you a short piece of 

video tape that you have seen before but not this part. Very 

short. What I want you to do is see what Jim Lanso has to say 

about Abdulraham Odeh. 

(Tape played)

MR. WESTFALL: Look at Abdulraham Odeh through this 

man's eyes. What does this man see? This man sees another 

person just like him that's in the business of helping other 

people which is what Abdulraham Odeh did. Look at the pride on 

Odeh's face. Evidence of such a convincing character that you 

would not hesitant to act upon it and act upon it in the most 

important of your own affairs. Is there a reasonable doubt? 

There is. Abdulraham Odeh wasn't in the terrorist business. He 

was in the helping business. It's what he did. It's what he 

did. You don't go to all of these far flung places as a ruse. 

You don't do that. He was doing charity. He was helping people, 

and Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an important case for me as it 

is for you and vitally important for Abdulraham Odeh. Thank you 

so much for your service, and I pray that you acquit Abdulraham 

Odeh because he's innocent. Thank you. 

THE COURT: Ladies and Gentlemen, as I announced 

earlier today, this will conclude our trial day. For tomorrow, I 

expect that we will have a full day in that we still have two 

counsel to present argument, and if they use the full amount of

While we're apart this evening, please continue to observe the 

instructions I have given you regarding your conduct as jurors. 

We'll be in recess until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. 

(Jury out)

THE COURT: Counsel for the government have anything 

this afternoon? 

MR. JACKS: No, your Honor. We filed the proposed jury 

instruction. It's the same as the one given to you this morning 

and served it on Mr. Cline. So we have nothing else, your Honor. 

THE COURT: Counsel for any of defendants have 

anything? 

MR. CLINE: Just on the jury instruction issue, I will 

turn to that directly, your Honor, and get you something about, 

say, 4:30. 

MS. MORENO: Your Honor, I wanted to confirm how much 

time I have. I didn't know if Mr. Westfall went into any of my 

time.
