After all these years of dashed hopes for the defendants, the court has finally understood and has made the correct decision in this case!! The decision statement that, "If you give money to an organization that you know to be engaged in terrorism, the fact that you earmark it for the organization's nonterrorist activities does not get you off the liability hook," Judge Richard Posner wrote for the majority", has been long overdue... Congratulations to Joyce and Stanley Boim for their courage to continue this case in spite of the emotional and physical toll it took on them and in spite of many who said they would never win. This verdict as well as the HLF verdict are victories and lights at the end of the tunnel for all who are involved in these types of cases of terror. Even though this decision will be appealed, we must have hope that the courts will ultimately stand by the victims of terrorism!
