I can see what you're getting at. But this is a complex matter. It's Water's who is the offended party here. He isn't required to prove that he isn't anti-semitic. His lawyers 'only' have to prove that Samson libeled him by saying that he was anti-semitic to his rotten core, which is a serious libel. She has a lot to prove in court. The result isn't a forgone conclusion at all. Also, surely somebody has to take this whole smear campaign the courts, finally? It needs to be tried. If the left don't even attempt to use the law in the face of obvious libel and smears, then they give ground without a fight and smearing people becomes the norm. Corbyn should have done it too, sued for libel. It would have sent out a strong signal that he was serious about defending his name and honour. it would have been worthy of an attempt to use the law to protect freedom of speech and rallied his supporters too, going on the offensive instead of standing their like a ####ing punchbag and saying 'sorry' every time he was clobbered.
