The Daily Mail published an extraordinary opinion piece Saturday by famed lawyer and law professor Alan Dershowitz under the attention-grabbing title, “The great betrayal tearing the Democrats to shreds: ALAN DERSHOWITZ says vile Leftist anti-Israeli hate will turn millions of American Jews from Blue to Red — and he’s one.”
In his piece, Dershowitz warns that “the Hamas atrocities of October 7th have forever fractured any political alliance between centrist and liberal Jews and woke, anti-Israel progressives.”
Regarding the woke progressives’ protests in America after the October 7 slaughter of Jews in Israel, Dershowitz wrote:
In New York City, speakers at a rally endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (a group to which several members of Congress belong) celebrated the attacks.
Progressive students at many American universities issued statements, held banners, and participated in marches not in favor of a two-state solution which would establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but against the existence of Israel itself.
The dominant slogan at these events was ‘Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.’
This wish is not ambiguous. It calls for the ethnic cleansing of all Jewish Israelis from the land, including areas that have been part of the nation state since its founding.
Dershowitz concluded:
I have supported the Democratic Party since I first voted for John F. Kennedy in 1960, for much like my parents and grandparents, and since the days of Frankin Delano Roosevelt, a vast majority of Jewish-American voters could be reliably counted upon to cast their ballots for Democrats and contribute disproportionately to their campaigns….
And I fear that if the woke, hard-left succeeds in taking over — then the Democrats, my grandparents’ party, risks becoming Judenrein.
