In the second hour, joining us in studio is Israeli attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner who tells us more about her work. In 2003 Nitsana and her husband Ari founded Shurat HaDin, Israel Law Center – a civil rights organization and human rights law firm with one mission: “To bankrupt terrorism, one lawsuit at a time.”
