Subject: chamish's nonsense involving my cases [Organs]
I realize that you have no qualms about sending out completely inaccurate reports and speculation. You do not bother to fact check and you create misleading and false stories that do not advance your causes. You rely upon Barry's foolishness without any independent research nor confirmation of its accuracy and, thus, you adopt the libelous stupidity he spews out.
As I can only assume you know, I represented both the Sinclair and Buzaglo families in proceedings in Israel. I was the first one to bring lawsuits against Abu Kabir for its illegal conduct. I broke the story of Dr. Hiss engaged in a black market in body parts. I revealed it to the media and it was my lawsuit for the Sinclair family that led Yediot Achranot to investigate and write about the black market in body parts that operated out of the forensic center.
In addition, I brought petitions in the High Court against Abu Kabir and Hiss. In addition, I represented and continue to represent several suits against Abu Kabir and Hiss. I also wrote and met numerous M.K.s in an effort to get them to pass legislation to stop the practice which is certainly against Halacha. It was in large part to my efforts and cases that Hiss was removed as Chief Pathologist. Barry only learned about this story from my work on these cases.
I am very troubled by the idiotic statements that I lost the Sinclair and Buzaglo cases. IN FACT WE WON THESE CASES!!! BOTH CASES WERE SETTLED WITH PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE OF ISRAEL TO THE FAMILIES!!! THE STATE OF ISRAEL ADMITTED ITS CONDUCT WAS UNLAWFUL AND PAID THE FAMILIES MONEY IN COMPENSATION FOR VIOLATING THE BODIES OF THOSE BROUGHT TO ABU KABIR FOR A POST MORTEM EXAMINATION.
Please immediately send out an email to your entire list correcting the falsehood you allowed yourself to be a part of. The failure to correct the false report you emailed to your subscribers will bring me to believe that you have knowingly adopted Barry's inaccuracies as your own. I hope that is not the case.
Thank you,
Nitsana

Our Mission
We tend to think of the fight against terrorism as a burden that falls mainly on the shoulders of governmentour military, diplomatic, homeland security, and law-enforcement agencies. Yet there is one area where private citizens can play a leading role: In stopping the flow of funds to terror organizations. Beginning in the 1990s, Western countries, and especially the United States, passed laws making it possible for victims of terror to sue the regimes that sponsor terror, banks that transfer funds to terror groups, front organizations that pretend to serve charitable causes, and even the terrorists themselves. For the first time, terror victims and their families have a chance to fight back through the courts.
Established in 2003 and based in Tel-Aviv, Shurat HaDinIsrael Law Center has become the world leader in fighting terror through civil lawsuits and other legal action. Founded by attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Shurat HaDin works together with western intelligence agencies and volunteer lawyers around the world to file legal actions on behalf of victims of terror.
Following the model pioneered by the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Centera non-profit legal center that over the last four decades has successfully confronted and shut down racist groups across AmericaShurat HaDin seeks to bankrupt terrorism and grind its activities to a halt through legal action. Shurat HaDin represents hundreds of victims in cases against Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbullah, the Palestinian Authority, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and numerous financial institutions such as UBS AG, the Lebanese-Canadian Bank, American Express Bank, and the Bank of China. Our main goals:
Stop the flow of terror money through massive civil suits and other legal action;
Defend the victims of terror and their families, by representing them in court, seeking disbursement of funds and implementation of rulings;
Educate the broader public about terrorism and terror funding through missions, public lectures, publications, targeted mailings, and our website.
As with the diplomatic and military fronts, the financial war on terror is a never-ending effort. Thwarted in their attempts to do business through normal banking channels, terrorists and their sponsors constantly look for ever-more-clever ways to raise funds and transfer them to their home base. Shurat HaDin is at the forefront of taking the fight to the enemy, tracking both the sources and channels of funding and filing court action wherever we can. But beyond litigation, Shurat HaDin seeks also to educate financial institutions around the world about how terror funding works and how they expose themselves if they choose to turn a blind eye. Above all, Shurat HaDin looks to educate, and fight for the rights of, the victims of terror, who rarely know they have legal recourse against the world’s most vicious criminals. We are empowering the victims, and teaching them to fight back.
Our Achievements
The results of our efforts have been phenomenal, including:
Over $1 Billion in judgments against terror organizations and state sponsors.
Over $600 million in terror assets frozen money which would otherwise have made its way to Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and other terror groups. Compare this with the roughly $140 million frozen as a result of U.S. government action in the same period, and it will become clear how effective private civil suits can be.
Over $20 million in recoveries, money that went directly to the victims and their families many of whom have lost, along with their dearest loved ones, the basis of their livelihood.
But the most important effect of Shurat HaDin’s efforts have been to put a massive roadblock in the path of terror funding. Whereas just a decade ago, terror money flowed freely throughout Western financial institutions and into the hands of terrorists, today the fear of court-ordered seizures resulting from civil suits has forced:
Hamas and other terror groups not to use the banking system in any way but rather to smuggle their money into Gaza through underground tunnels and suitcases; Iran to pull its assets out of Europe, shifting its business to Asia; obstructing its use of hard currency; and a great many banks to refuse to do business with terror-funding organizations, thoroughly investigate before opening new accounts with suspicious groups, and closing down accounts which are suspected to be identified with terror organizations.
Indeed, the lawsuits have sent a shockwave throughout the international banking system, with many of the formerly reluctant financial institutions now fearful of massive civil liability and seeking the guidance of Western intelligence services concerning the identities of their customers. This has had a withering impact on terrorism itself: According to one high ranking Mossad official, Shurat Hadin’s legal activities have reduced actual terror activity in the Gaza Strip by as much as 60 percent.
Other Activities
As a Jewish civil rights organization, Shurat HaDin is serving as a leading public interest advocate by providing pro bono representation to a wide range of Jewish causes, including actions on behalf of: the families of 12 Jews imprisoned in Iran; IDF officers accused of war crimes in the course of their military service; IDF soldiers accused of employing unnecessary force against Palestinian rioters; and Palestinian agents who assist the Israeli security services in preventing terrorism. Shurat Hadin is proactive in influencing government policy and securing legal precedents that will safeguard and advance the interests of Israeli society.
Shurat HaDin is a fully independent non-profit organization, unaffiliated with any political party or governmental body.
Our Director
For the past 13 years, Israeli activist attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner has been leading the struggle to fight the Palestinian and Islamic terrorist organizations in the courtroom. As the director of the Israel based civil rights group, Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center, she is
currently representing hundreds of terror victims in lawsuits and legal actions against the HAMAS, the Palestinian Authority, the PLO, Hizbollah, Iran, Syria, Egypt, North Korea, UBS, The Arab Bank, and LCB. The cases, being litigated in the Israeli, American, Canadian and European courts, allow the victims of terrorism to fight back.
A mother of six, including triplets and a newborn baby girl, Darshan-Leitner is a graduate of the Bar-Ilan University Law Faculty and holds an MBA from Manchester University. She regularly appears in the media including Israeli talk show programs, Voice of Israel radio, CNN, the BBC, European television, the Jerusalem Report and many American, Canadian and European publications.
