Achievements
- We have represented hundreds of terror victims in legal actions against terror organizations and their supporters, won billions of dollars in judgments against them, and secured hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of the victims.
- Under the motto: "Bankrupting Terrorism – One Lawsuit at a Time!", we undertake civil actions against Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PLO, The Palestinian Authority, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Egypt, North Korea, UBS, and the Lebanese Canadian Bank. The cases, being tried in Israeli, American, Canadian and European jurisdictions, allow the victims of terrorism to fight back.
- We recently won a major legal victory against Airbnb for its decision to delist Jewish homes in the West Bank from its website causing the hosting company to publicly reverse its policy, and thus serving a high profile defeat to the BDS movement.
- In an effort to enforce court judgments awarded to terror victims, we have pursued Iranian oil tankers, international airlines flying to Tehran, and other Iranian assets.
- In recent years, Shurat HaDin initiated a legal campaign to deprive terrorists of social media resources such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, which are used to incite violence on-line against Jews and promote terror attacks.
- In their efforts to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli extremism, Shurat HaDin assisted in blocking the Gaza Flotilla, an attempt by our enemies to breach the sea blockade over Gaza and challenge Israel’s sovereignty.
- We brought war crimes complaints against Hamas and PLO leaders in the International Criminal Court, and prosecuted multiple lawsuits against the BDS movement.
- As a result of the litigation against them, banks have shut down accounts for terror organizations. No bank agrees, any longer, to provide financial services to designated terror organizations nor their affiliates, or to operate in terror zones like South Lebanon or Gaza. According to the Israeli security services, as a result of our legal battles, money diverted to terrorism in Gaza was reduced to 60%.
