He'd need to consult his lawyers of course. He's already involved in Germany trying to overturn a potential ban on him playing there in the Summer, because he's been smear with accusations of 'anti-semitism', so he's not exactly adverse or unused to using the courts. After all, he spent years and a fortune suing his old bandmates over their use of the name 'Pink Floyd' to sell their music and tour, when he argued 'Pink Floyd' didn't exist as a unit without the main songwriter over severeal decades. It's not as if he can't afford to sue for libel. He's a hugely wealthy multi-millionaire. His last world tour grossed around $400 million dollars! I hope he does sue her for libel. He's allowed to criticise the Israeli state for ghastly acts of bloodshed and repression, it's odious apartheid laws, it's structural racism and brazen discrimination. That's political comment aimed at a state. He's never criticised individual Jewish people, because they are Jewish though, which is something completely different from classic anti-semitism, which is hatred of Jews, just for being Jews. Infact it would be a good thing to challenge the restrictive definition of 'anti-semitism' that was used against Corbyn and the Labour left, in the courts, because he'd probably win.
