The right-wing legal group Shurat Hadin has close ties to Jewish extremist terrorism in Israel.
So why is @AJCGlobal sharing a platform with them at the NGO Monitor conference?

According to Honenu, a group that defends Jewish terror suspects, Leitner was charged for aiding Rabbi Yehuda Richter in shooting a bus in the West Bank. https://www.honenu.org.il/activity/%d7%99%d7%94%d7%95%d7%93%d7%94-%d7%a8%d7%99%d7%9b%d7%98%d7%a8%d7%9e%d7%99%d7%99%d7%a7-%d7%92%d7%95%d7%96%d7%95%d7%91%d7%a1%d7%a7%d7%99%d7%9e%d7%90%d7%99%d7%a8-%d7%9c%d7%99%d7%91%d7%95%d7%91%d7%99/
Richter, Meir Leibowitz, and others charged along with Leitner were members of the Kahanist Kach party—banned in Israel, considered a terrorist group by the US State Department. They appear in this UN report on Israeli human rights abuses in the West Bank. https://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/B7A72309FFEA6F1485256A68004F0024
Here's what the group was charged with:
Shooting a bus and wounding several Palestinian workers; setting fire to a Palestinian newspaper office; throwing petrol bombs at homes in Palestinian neighborhoods — this is what they were charged with.
Does @AJCGlobal and @AJCTAI condemn this behavior?
