Yes, and in most of those cases, it is dealing with things like tabloids running with accusations and liberally applying words like "allegedly" and "sources claim" and such. It is also much harder to prove damages in those cases (which is *necessary* in cases of slander/libel/defamation). In this case, we have a specific and unambiguous accusation ("this man *is* an antisemite") with intent to cause damages ("boycott him because of this"). The biggest hurdle in this case is proving to which degree the ADL was involved in and pressuring the boycott against Xitter, and in theory there exists enough probable cause for a court to take it.
So yes, if we ignore the specific context of this case and treat it like the national enquirer saying something like "chris hemsworth accused of raping his dog" or some horseshit then yes, sure, it's a complete impossibility that this will ever, ever be anything more than just talk, sure.
