Video: Bankrupting Terrorism One Lawsuit at a Time

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Center spoke to over 500 people at HonestReporting's Jerusalem headquarters.

By April 12, 2015

Over 500 people joined HonestReporting at its Jerusalem headquarters on April 5 to hear Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Center. For 19 years, Ms. Darshan-Leitner has led the international efforts to cut off terror groups’ financing and has fought the boycott-and-sanctions movement through the courts.

We are sick and tired of sitting in the military courts watching the defendants from Hamas who are looking at the judge smiling at him and promising him that they will win. They will not win – we will win because we are fighting for our national survival.

Speaking after the  event, HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams said:

The importance of Nitsana Darshan-Leitner’s work in achieving justice for the victims of terror and cutting off the financial supply lines to terrorists cannot be overstated. It was a privilege to be able to host Nitsana and bring hundreds of people to hear her.

 

By working together through multiple channels, be they legal, media or others, organizations such as HonestReporting and Shurat HaDin ensure that Israel haters will be held to account.
