@Skembear is that link to the guy who libels Jewish campaigners against antisemitism?

@Mordko Plus the case was not about antisemitism, it was about a UK TV presenter getting upset about her image. In her own words 'People don't know I'm Jewish, because I don't look like a typical Jew'. I would say that was more antisemitic than someone calling her a bully

@Skembear Well, you would be talking utter nonsense if you said it.

The libel case was about lying and was prover that Sievier lied about Rachel Riley. As a prominent Jewish fighter against antisemitism she is a target for who? Complicated.

@Skembear that you and him are liars is strictly factual. Presumption is that I wanted to shut you down. Of course not. I had assumed you might be unaware because only a piece of scum would promote someone who libelled a Jewish opponent of antisemitism. My bad. Carry on.
