Alan Dershewitz was on Don Lemon tonight

[fadedrose]

talking about the Israeli-Gaza situation.... He said such awful things about the Democratic left...we're not real Americans he said.

It repeats tonight sometime. Record it and he'll make you mad...

1. Fuck Alan Dershowitz

Motherfucking piece of shit that he is.

2. Meh, Mr. Torture-excuser can return to the Faux news echochamger. I lost all respect for him decades

ago (if I ever had any)...

[hrmjustin]

3. We are not real Americans huh! my opinion of him has gone lower.

4. A statement he made that seemed to rile the other members of the panel

was when he suggested that what Israel was doing in Gaza was an act not only on behalf of Israel but for the sake of preserving western culture and its values (or something to that effect) from barbarism. The other two panel members took exception to his suggestion that only western values are important. One guy (didn't get his name but he was well-spoken) pointed out that Gandhi and Mandela were not from the west but nonetheless represented important cultural values that we share.

Dershowitz is a good liberal on several issues but here he just seems to lose his way on this issue.

6. He is also rabidly pro-torture, was very vocal about his support of torture during...

the Bush administration. I question whether he is a liberal at all never mind "a good liberal".

Here are his views on that, they are grotesque, imo:

7. He's ONLY liberal when he's defending

The indefensible.

9. unfortuneately many pro israel people have been dehumanizing the palestinians and seem to be

convinced of it.

but that whole thing about barbarism and that stupid quote about how they hate us more than they love their kids makes them feel justified in the things htey support.

they have no idea how they sound like the right wingers in the US who talk about other Americans who are minorities.

8. last night defending Israel

was pretty damn crazy.

[nilesobek]

10. He's an obvious "conservolib."

Dershowitz cherry picks the liberal issues he likes but acts like a raging neo-con on Israel and torture.

11. I have no business making an accusation

that I am not qualified to make, but Dershewitz is the closest thing to a sociopath that I've seen except in fiction novels.....Netanyehu says he feels bad about hurting civilians, children, etc., but there is no feeling in his eyes or voice when he says this and it doesn't come off as sincere.

No empathy, sympathy, or any feelings relative to what Alan said about Gaza, but also about the American people who are not anxious to take sides. The left is an enemy because they seem to want freedom and peace for everyone and he cannot understand or accept these feelings.

Almost everybody in the world is wrong except him. He has become a superjerk.

Seems that if your head is screwed on properly, you would hope for peace for everyone with a special feeling for children of any color, religion, or ethnicity, and would feel bad when they were hurt or killed, and would feel sympathy for their parents...REGARDLESS OF WHO IS RIGHT OR WRONG...

12. I have no business making an accusation

but here goes.
