"...side issues..."

But it's not a "side issue," BH. Two types of criminal privacy invasion were directly involved in the plaintiffs suit against ADL. Defamation was only one of the charges and it arose out of the privacy invasion.

The trial jury thought it was relevant -- to the tune of millions of dollars in award. And after all ADL's appeals were exhausted, those awards were upheld. Of course it's relevant.

So why are you so unwilling to answer a simple question?

"Defamation was only one of the charges and it arose out of the privacy invasion."

The thread article only sites the charge of defamation as an issue decided by the jury in this case. The case may have risen out of an invasion of privacy, but there is no evidence before us that the privacy issue played any role in the jury's decision on the charge of defamation.

From my perspective there is only one question:   Could remarks regarding "Nazi scare tactics, including tossing lampshades and soap on their lawn and putting pictures of Holocaust ovens on their house" be reasonably construed as being anti-Semitic?

To me the answer is an unequivocal yes!
