Has Mick Davis been vindicated?

I see in the JC report about Reut's disturbing study of Britain becoming a hub of anti-Israel hatred that

“Israel will have to let the Jewish community lead the counter-attack in places, such as London, that require nuance and cultural sensitivity”.
At the same time it challenges the Jewish leadership to “allow for innovative thinking, new tools and aggressive experimentation that usually takes place outside of the established community”.
At the heart of the strategy is a plan to target left-liberal opinion in Britain. “Importantly, critics from the political left, because they represent liberal values, are also an invaluable voice in delegitimising Israel’s delegitimisation, notwithstanding their common criticism of the Jewish community’s traditional institutions and the policies of the state of Israel.”

Does this not vindicate Mick Davis? After all, he was calling for a more nuanced approach to the delegitimisers.
