EastEnders star pays damages in anti-Semitism libel case.
Dr Proudfoot used Twitter's Block Chain after he was targeted by anonymous troll accounts attacking him for his pro-Palestinian views. The tool blocked all Twitter users following the blocked account, regardless of whether or not they were Jewish.
In her statement published on Twitter on Tuesday, Ms Oberman explained that the day after she had published the defamatory tweet, "Dr Proudfoot explained that this was wrong and that he had used 'a tool to mass block an account I followed that was involved in targeted trolling, which also blocks followers.'
"Outside of my political life I am a humanitarian researcher. I've seen the horrors of war in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. It is for this reason I am a supporter of the struggle for human rights in Palestine. And it is for this reason I am appalled and disgusted by anti-Semitism, and all forms of prejudice.
