Dershowitz, In Teaneck, Makes The Case Against President Carter

[Purveyor]

An hour a week. That’s all the time you have to spend to help Israel. During that hour, write a letter to the editor or an op-ed piece for a newspaper, call in to a talk-show or read a book about Israel — in addition to contributing financially to the country. And you don’t have to give up exercise.

That was the advice Harvard law Prof. Alan Dershowitz gave the nearly 300 people who attended the annual dinner of the Physicians and Dentists Division of UJA Federation of Northern New Jersey at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe on Tuesday night.

Before his presentation, Dershowitz spoke with this newspaper about his forthcoming book, "The Case Against President Carter and Other Israel’s enemies," due out in September.
--
According to Dershowitz, Israel’s enemies fall into two categories: those who would attack it militarily, like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad; and those who would attack it morally, economically, and politically, like Jimmy Carter and professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, American academics of what he called the "hard left." He devotes the first two chapters of his book to the work of these three men.

"It is necessary for me to expose the fallacies of Carter’s attack against Israel. It hurts me to go negative on Carter, but it has to be done," he said.
--
Still, the enemies of Israel aren’t limited to academia or the far left, he emphasized.

"People shouldn’t forget that the hatred for Israel really starts on the right, and from the beginning it was conservatives that opposed Israel and today still there are people like Pat Buchanan and Robert Novak," he said. "It’s the extremists on both sides."

1. Freeing OJ was Dershowitz's finest moment. All of this Israel stuff

is pure recompense & not being done very well either.

5. Funny, I think of O.J. as a serial killer ...

who got off because his friends conspired to get rid of evidence.

If I were Alan, I wouldn't be too proud of helping in THAT case.

hero from every possible angle!
