Obviously neither of us know the ties, but this stood out in the article regarding the French saying they had terrorist ties.
Quote:
"It's hard to prove, but all elements of the investigation showed that part of the NGO served to hide jihad-type activities," Bruguiere said. "I'm convinced this was a clear strategy, known by IHH."
The judge said he was personally involved in a raid with French and Turkish police at IHH headquarters in Istanbul in 1998, where they found weapons, false documents and other "incriminating" material.
"It was clearly proven that some of the NGO's work was not charity, it was to provide a facade for moving funds, weapons and mujahedeen to and from Bosnia and Afghanistan" — areas focused on by Islamic militants then.

I'm the last person on earth to defend governments, especially the US government with their 'terror branding' techniques. I think it far too often serves a purpose to manipulate the media, or the public.
So, regarding the Israeli claims, if they were the only ones that made them, I'd believe it if you said they were a bit far-fetched, nevermind the evidence you posted.
But we're coming from a different angle here, from someone who has investigated this group for many years.
