What evidence is "out there"? So far, there's no evidence, from what is being reported by legitimate news agencies who saw the supposed evidence. Example: https://apnews.com/article/business-europe-middle-east-israe...

In 2018 all payment processors (MC/Visa/Amex) banned payments to Al-Haq due to allegations that they forwarded money to PFLP, so this is not new news.

This was based on testimony given in court by two Palestinian accountants that Al-Haq was funneling money to terrorism.
It should be noted that Al-Haq does not make disclose either the sources or destinations of donation money.

Those allegations came from the same place this “evidence” did.

Since when is testimony from their own Palestinian accountants not considered evidence?

> The dossier relies almost entirely on the interrogation of Said Abedat and Amru Hamudeh, who worked as accountants for the Union of Health Committees, a separate group which was outlawed in January 2020. Both were reportedly fired in 2019 for embezzling funds, and were later detained by the Shin Bet. Their lawyers could not be reached for comment.
Not their own accountants

Why are you splitting hairs??? They worked as accountants through 2019. So obviously they have knowledge of where the funds were being funneled to.

No one is splitting hairs; this is the very crux of the matter. They worked as accountants for a different organization altogether.

Given that the accountants gave testimony - it would stand to reason they had knowledge of it.

I know you're arguing from a very partial perspective, but if you'd read the 972mag article it's insanely clear that the accounts' testimony would be thrown out as hearsay in any real court of law. They weren't involved in the supposed activity the other organizations are accused of doing based on their testimony, they didn't see it happen, they just "know" that it happened.
But I feel like there is no use continuing to argue this with you, so peace out.
