Feel-good story of the day about Shurat HaDin by Alana Goodman at Commentary.
The legal strategy used by Shurat HaDin, “Bankrupting Terrorism – One Lawsuit at a Time, ” puts Jew-haters on notice that legal methods are being used against them in ways guaranteed to drain their terrorist resources and lead to a third act in which they end up looking like bumbling fools. This is effective and, on the world stage, dramatically satisfying.
At a radical left-wing coffee shop in Washington, D.C. last month, Code Pink founder and “Freedom Flotilla II” passenger Medea Benjamin …
Medea was born Susan Benjamin but later renamed herself after a pagan mythological figure who murdered her own children. Seraphic Secret considers this an entirely appropriate name for a Jewish Jew-hater.
… woefully recounted the moment she realized her boat, the Audacity of Hope, wouldn’t be legally permitted to leave a port in Greece to sail to Gaza.“There was something called a ‘complaint’ that was put against our boat,” Benjamin explained to a crowd of anti-Israel activists stuffed into the back room of the restaurant. “Well, it didn’t take long for somebody to uncover that the person, or entity, that lodged the complaint was none other than this right-wing Israeli law center based in Tel Aviv, that knew nothing about our boat and certainly had no interest in the passengers’ safety.”The “right-wing” law center that caused Benjamin so much grief isShurat HaDin – the Israeli group that single-handedly took down the “Freedom Flotilla II” simply by filing creative lawsuits. In total, nine out of the 10 boats in the flotilla never touched Israeli waters, largely due to Shurat HaDin’s work.Led by Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and her husband Avi Leitner, the legal center is pioneering a new strategy of Israeli-self defense: Pro-Israel Lawfare.
In a wonderful and surprising twist, Texas Governor Rick Perry, before becoming a GOP presidential candidate, was instrumental in halting the Jew-hating flotilla.
