Book Launching Event with a co-author Nitsana Darshan-Leitner

Israeli activist attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner has been leading the legal fight against terror financing, the anti-Israel boycott campaigns (BDS) and combating the multitude of lawfare tactics utilized against the Jewish State by its enemies. As the president of the Israel based civil rights organization, Shurat HaDin–Israel Law Center, she has represented hundreds of terror victims in legal actions against terror organizations and their supporters. Ms. Darshan-Leitner has successfully recovered more than two hundred million dollars in compensation on their behalf. In recent years, Ms. Darshan-Leitner initiated a legal campaign to deprive terrorists of social media resources such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, which they use to incite violence against Jews and promote terror attacks. In her efforts to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli activities, Ms. Darshan-Leitner assisted in blocking the Gaza Flotilla, terminated efforts to indict IDF soldiers for war crimes, and filed legal actions against those who boycott Israeli academics and companies in violation of the law.

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner just completed co-authoring a book about Meir Dagan and the Israeli and ultimately international effort he spearheaded—at the Prime Minister’s office and then as Mossad Director—to dry up the financial streams that funded terror. Dagan and his team realized that money was an effective new battlefield in fighting terrorists, and that by suffocating the supply of funds that paid for the suicide bombs and the bullets that somehow the carnage would end. Following the 9/11 attacks, Dagan’s concept became the cornerstone of America’s war on terror and it served as one of the many joint efforts in which the United States and Israel worked side by side. The use of Lawfare became a critical element of this multi-tiered strategy. Nitsana and her co-authors took great care to safeguard the covert nature of much of this work. The book underwent the intense security of Israeli officials before being cleared for publication.
