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.
By that token it's fair game to refer to literally every Israeli Zionist as a "Nazi acolyte" or a "Student from the Berlin Academy of Genocide".
Tbf the concept of Zionism, in it's present incarnation, is indistinguishable to me from that of Lebensraum, and similarly evil.
Absolutely. But the difference between you and me and them are that we simply want to live our lives and, you know, want other people to be able to live their lives and not be bothered.
Whereas they actively want to oppress. So for them, calling people anti-semitic or other names only furthers their cause.
This is why "both sides" are not the same. If the right would simply let people do what they want, we wouldn't have to push back so much.
