Nitsana Darshan-Leitner: what Wikipedia removed
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner is an Israeli attorney who founded Shurat HaDin, representing hundreds of terror victims in legal actions. As of 2020 the opening described her work: “In her efforts to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli activities, Ms. Darshan-Leitner…” Today the opening lists her legal campaigns and awards without mentioning antisemitism specifically, and the word survives once in the body. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia’s opening once described her activism as combating antisemitism, not only terrorism.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2020. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
