Kesher Talk

Dear friends,

I am being sued for libel by Radhika Sainath, an American participant in the International Solidarity Movement. Ms. Sainath claims that an article I wrote for my website about her and her ISM activities "consists of blatantly false accusations," so she's suing for $20,000.

Ms. Sainath is represented by attorney Shamai Leibowitz, whose most infamous client is Al Aksa Brigade leader Marwan Barghouti, accused of murdering tens of Israelis and injuring hundreds in numerous terrorist attacks.

I have the privilege of being represented by Nitsana Darshan Leitner, director of the Shurat HaDin--Israel Law Center. Shurat HaDin has filed lawsuits in Israeli and American courts against Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the European Union on behalf of terror victims. . . .
