Will a pro-Israel legal advocacy group manage to defeat one of the world's biggest tech giants? We sat down with Nitzana Darshan Leitner, the chairwoman of Shurat Hadin, a pro-Israel legal advocacy group that will soon face Google in the United States Supreme Court on allegations the tech company aided and abetted terrorism.

"This is the end of a very long journey, which we started in 2015 when we started filing lawsuits against social media giants, Facebook, Twitter, and Google, for aiding and abetting terrorism," Darshan Leitner recounts and explains: "The argument was that social media provides social services to a designated terror organization which is a violation of the anti-terrorism act in the United States."

Darshan Leitner explains that the tech companies allow Hammas, Isis, and other terror groups to recruit operatives, raise funds, communicate, and do a slew of other actions on their platforms.

Regarding whether a tech company is responsible for what goes on its platform, Nitzana explains that while in the 90s congress ruled that social media could not be classified as a publisher since it did not control the content, today it can control the contentment and even profits from it; therefor it does is responsible for what goes on.

Regarding her chances in court, Attorney Darshan-Leitner is optimistic: "This is the first time the Supreme court of the United States is taking this sort of case, for the first time, these companies might lose their immunity.
