The other side: Emails published in the Boston Globe to Dershowitz from entertainment lawyer Walter Teller, a Vineyard resident, explain the social rejection:

"You thereby gave Trump an opportunity to use you and your positions in his own defense, to wave you like his pom-pom. How unfortunate for all of us.

You defended and gave cover to this president who relentlessly disrupts and destroys all that we value and causes massive and lasting damage to our political system, our courts, our standing in the world, the environment and more. In all of that you are complicit...You proudly announce where you have dined and with whom, going so far as to send out pictures of the menu of your meal with Trump at the White House. And then you complain publicly when you are not invited to dinner."

The Martha’s Vineyard crowd strikes back at Alan Dershowitz

[Lucky Luciano]

1. They should all be shunned and ostracized from polite society. nt

[lunatica]

2. I would have wittled that message down to

Fuck you Dershowitz.

Why bother to explain further?

[warmfeet]

10. Exactly. NT

[Gothmog]

3. Crowds gather in Boston to protest Alan Dershowtiz's treatment on Martha's Vineyard.

6. Who isn't proud to be shunned by their neighbors for being a traitor to his country?

Fucking phoney

[spanone]

13. oh alan, trump is unpopular but there not an atom in his body that's principled.

nor yours, I might add.

[Hamlette]

14. If you truly want to "engage in dialogue" you don't start by calling us "partisan zealots"

and then say you couldn't care less if you are shunned by "such people".

He's too full of himself for a "dialogue".

[SunSeeker]

7. I lost all respect for Dershowitz during the OJ trial. Now he has sunk even lower.

He is a miserable, traitorous, attention-grabbing sellout and asshole.

[cab67]

11. What little I had left went away...

...when he argued, after her final acquittal, that Amanda Knox might be guilty. Which she obviously was not.

He wants to be seen as an idealist, but he comes across as a contrarian.

[moonseller66]

8. Loyalties?

Dershowitz,
Like tRump, we know your allegiance comes to clients before country. Sad!

[usaf-vet]

12. My guess is that his loyalties are to Israel and anyone who defends them.

Trump's moving of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was / is seen as a pro- Israeli move.

The controversial move is further explained here.

19. which is noble, but Trump is pro-Putin

not pro-Israel or any other democratic country.

The majority of Jews (about 70%) vote Dem, a party that has always strongly supported Israel.

71% of Jews supported the Democratic nominee in this year’s election — slightly more than the 69% who voted for Obama in 2012, but significantly less than the 78% who turned out for Obama in 2008, the 74% who voted for Kerry in 2004, or the 79% who voted for Gore in 2000.

[Quemado]

9. Douche-o-bag

That's my response.

[Scurrilous]

15. K&R

[smirkymonkey]

16. Piss off Alan.

You sad little drama queen.

[Cha]

17. dersh.. "standing on his principles" and

".. wasn't whining.. he was exposing it.. "

[radius777]

18. Dershowitz, SHS, et al whining about social discomfort,

should just be happy they're not sleeping in cages like those kids are.

[MadDAsHell]

20. I can't relate to either side of this argument. Both are elitist, rich 1%ers. Nt
