Nitsana Darshan-Leitner Named as One of the 50 Most Influential Jews of 2022

Year
2022

Shurat HaDin founder and president Nitsana Darshan-Leitner was honored by the Jerusalem Post and named one of the 50 most influential Jews of 2022. Since it was founded in 2002, Shurat HaDin has sued terror groups, their state sponsors, and the banks that facilitate their blood money, in courtrooms around the world. The Israeli-based human rights NGO has won mega-judgments against Iran, Syria, North Korea, and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, on behalf of the victims of terror. “We are fighting an enemy that does not refrain from using any weapon to undermine the right of the Jewish people to reside on its land and live in peace in an independent homeland,” Darshan-Leitner explained. “Therefore, we also have to think out of the box,” she added. “When you go into a [legal] war against a movement, you cannot go with your hands tied behind your back. You need to be creative.”
