#Alan Dershowitz

Everyone needs to shut up if you’re not calling this a genocide.

Mustafa Barghouti appears on Piers Morgan with American Alan Dershowitz and states it as it is. A GENOCIDE. ETHNIC CLEANSING. COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT. After being interrupted several times he tells them to shut up and rightly so.

Israel agreed to Palestinian statehood in 1937-1938, 1947-1948, 1967, 2000-2001, and 2007. In each case, it was the Palestinian leadership that refused to agree to the two-state solution....

The Jews accepted the [1937] Peel partition plan, while the Arabs categorically rejected it, demanding that all of Palestine be placed under Arab control and that most of the Jewish population of Palestine be "transferred" — ethnically cleansed — out of the country...

The Jewish leadership [in 1948] declared statehood in the area allocated to it by the UN. The Arab leadership responded by declaring a genocidal war against the new state of the Jewish people. They did not want a Palestinian state. And they wanted there to be no Jewish state.

No one, therefore, should believe that it was Israel that has made the Palestinian people stateless. It was the Palestinians themselves... The current anti-Israel protesters in the West are not calling for a Palestinian state living in peace alongside Israel. They, like the failed Palestinian leadership, just wants to end Israel's existence. It is not going to happen. Until the Palestinians recognize this reality, they will be denying themselves any possibility of statehood.

Chris McGreal at The Guardian:

Jimmy Carter’s terminal illness reignited a bitter dispute over accusations the former president was antisemitic after he wrote a bestselling book likening the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories to South African apartheid. Prominent American supporters of Israel lined up to denounce Carter and the book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, when it was published in 2006. Abe Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League, called the former president a “bigot”. Deborah Lipstadt, who is now the Biden administration’s special envoy against antisemitism, accused him of having a “Jewish problem”. Alan Dershowitz, the US constitutional lawyer and ardent advocate for Israel, said Carter set out to offend Israelis and Jews. “Jimmy Carter’s sensitivities seem to have a gaping hole when it comes to Jews. There is a term for that,” he wrote.

Others did not beat around the bush and called Carter an antisemite. Pro-Israel pressure groups placed ads in the New York Times accusing Carter of facilitating those who “pursue Israel’s annihilation” and claiming he was “blinded by an anti-Israel animus”. But nearly two decades later, the book looks prescient given that leading Israeli politicians and major human rights organisations now accuse Israel of imposing a form of apartheid on the Palestinians in breach of international laws. News that Carter had entered hospice care at the beginning of the year prompted calls for critics to apologise for the abuse, drawing an admission from at least one critic. Among those outraged by Carter’s book in 2006 were members of the former president’s own foundation, which has built an international reputation for its work on human rights and to alleviate suffering. Steve Berman led a mass resignation from the Carter Center’s board of councillors at the time. Earlier this year, Berman revealed that he later wrote to Carter to apologise and to say that the former president had been right. “I had started to view Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians as something that started in 1967 as an accident but was now becoming an enterprise with colonial intentions,” Berman said in his letter to Carter. Shortly before Carter’s death, Peter Beinart, described as “the most influential liberal Zionist of his generation”, said the time had come for the former president’s critics to apologise for the “shameful way that the book was received by many significant people”.

When the late Jimmy Carter released his Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid book in 2006, the book’s release drew a lot of controversy because it called out Israel’s occupation of Palestine and compared their situation to South Africa’s highly controversial and racist Apartheid policies aimed at non-Afrikaner South Africans, especially the Blacks.

Turns out that Carter was well ahead of his time in calling out Israel Apartheid before it became a mainstream issue in some parts of the left in the US.

Every time you think he couldn’t possibly fall any further from grace, Alan Dershowitz proves you wrong. There literally is no bottom for conservatives and Trump supporters; there is no low that’s too low, no incredulously asinine argument they won’t argue in favor of.

Witness tampering and witness intimidation are very real things, and Donald Trump and his acolytes would love nothing more than to expose the names of the Trump jurors so that they can incite mob violence against them. And they have already done so whenever the opportunity has presented itself.

As usual, the giveaway is always that whatever “rules” they want to inflict on others, somehow never applies to themselves nor their family and friends.

Alan Dershowitz supporters really be doing this.

On a personal note, these same STALINIST Tactics were used on my (southern) family members during Jim Crow: "Show me the man & I'll show you his crime." Freedom loving people worldwide should be disgusted. If this is happening to an American President, just imagine what is happening to Americans who lack media attention & wise counsel.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Trump's political persecution in DC by Deranged John "Jack" Luman Smith & Soros GA DA proves to the American people that the 2020 election was in fact a FRAUD!

Andy McCarthy was Right!

Stalinist John "Jack" Luman Smith is making it all up day by day!

DERSHOWITZ: CO's anti-Trump judicial power grab will cause 2024 choas

DERSHOWITZ: CO's anti-Trump judicial power grab will cause 2024 choas https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12886511/colorado-court-trump-alan-dershowtitz.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Kipp Jones at Mediaite:

Lifelong Democrat and famed attorney Alan Dershowitz left the party this week, citing what he said were openly anti-Semitic elements at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month. During a conversation with radio host Zev Brenner on the YouTube-streamed program Talkline, Dershowitz said he had been considering leaving the party and his breaking point came when he was heard hear pro-Hamas and “anti-Jewish” rhetoric outside of the United Center. Dershowitz said some of the anti-Jewish hatred came from inside the convention from Democratic lawmakers. “They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with AOC – a miserable, anti-zionist bigot,” he said. “Then of course they had Liz Warren who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”

“I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention,” he said. “Absolutely disgusted.” [...] “I am no longer a Democrat,” Dershowitz shot back. “I am an independent. I will decide who to vote for at the last minute based on the totality of the circumstances. I want to see how they deal with Iran, I want to see how they deal with Iran’s attacks on the United States, I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel. So I’m not revealing my vote until maybe November 1. I need to hear all the information, all the evidence, but I am no longer a member of the Democratic Party.”

Appearing on the August 23rd, 2024 edition of Talkline Network's Talkline With Zev Brenner, DINO and Israel Apartheid State supporter Alan Dershowitz announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming independent.

Dershowitz has long hinted in recent years about leaving the Democratic Party, due to the fact that he has regularly defended Donald Trump's legal foibles and the party's increasingly pro-Palestinian turn.

From the 08.23.2024 edition of Talkline Network's Talkline With Zev Brenner:

It is fairly common knowledge that for decades, Netanyahu and Israeli leadership have repeatedly and publicly stated that a two state solution and Palestinian statehood was something that they would never tolerate; and the last Israeli president who was even considering Palestinian statehood was assassinated by a rightwing Likud extremist (redundant, I know).

To be clear, I do not agree with all of Norm Finkelstein’s politics, but when it comes to Israel, he pretty much doesn’t miss. I love how he refuted every lie that Dershowitz told.

Anyway, Alan Dershowitz is garbage.

This is extraordinary, accurate, and funny. A work of musical theater based on the Democracy Now "debate" between Alan Dershowitz and Norman Finkelstein.

How did Dr Gay feel? How much time did you spend on that? Zero seconds? Yeah. Though so. You & your wife are fucking hypocrites& even in 2010, Wikipedia wasn’t acceptable in academic writing, cited or not. Cut & paste from Wikipedia was lazy. And you both know it.
