Emanuele Ottolenghi: Islamist Lawfare in England
Emanuele Ottolenghi reports at Commentary:
The ostensible reason for the lawsuit is explained here. Harry’s Place made the mistake of raising an eyebrow at remarks Mr. Sawalha made commenting on a recent anti-Israel demonstration in London, where he reportedly referred to the “Jewish evil” in Britain. Harry’s Place drew the information from Al-Jazeera, and when Al-Jazeera amended the term to “Jewish lobby,” Harry’s Place reported the change in an update. And though Harry’s Place did not refer to Mr. Sawalha as an anti-Semite for having reportedly used such language, they are now being sued for having done so.
