Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the Democratic Party for hosting what he described as an “anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist” convention in August.
In an interview, he highlighted figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Sen. Bernie Sanders as key speakers contributing to this sentiment.
Dershowitz also voiced disappointment in President Joe Biden for endorsing pro-Palestinian protests and for perpetuating a hoax regarding Donald Trump’s comments on neo-Nazis in Charlottesville.
Dershowitz declared he was no longer a Democrat.
“I am no longer a Democrat,” Dershowitz responded. “I am an independent, I’ll 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 if Iran attacks the United States. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel. So, I’m not revealing my vote until, you know, maybe November 1st.”
“I think the thing that really pushed me is how the Democrats conducted their convention. I can not be associated with a party that features as it’s speakers, AOC, Sharpton, Liz Warren, and Bernie Sanders. That’s not my party,” he continued.
