    Why doesn’t she sue them for libel and/or slander? Make them prove she has said or done anti-semetic things?

      Because calling someone Anti-Semetic is like calling someone an asshole. It’s fully an opinion and there’s no way to prove it one way or another.

      And even if you could, she bares the cost of fighting the case. EVEN if she prevails, 10 more assholes will show up and call her anti-semetic.

      The problem is social media has given assholes tremendous power.

        This is an organization with published statements and claims though. Not some random jackanape on Twitter. And anti-semetism has hate crime legislation detailing it and legal precedents. Calling someone an asshole is subjective but anti-semetism has actual objective definitions.
