Harvard law professor and constitutional attorney Alan Dershowitz has officially ditched the Democrat Party after 67 years and registered as a Republican.
In a powerful Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday, Dershowitz blasted today’s Democrat Party as increasingly hostile toward Israel and dangerously consumed by radical ideology, warning that its current trajectory poses a serious threat to the country.

Over the past year, Dershowitz repeatedly warned that Democrats were abandoning core American values. He even pledged to campaign for Republicans in the 2026 midterms, saying he was “totally frightened” by the prospect of Democrats regaining power.
“I’m going to be supporting the Republicans in the midterm election. I’m hoping that the Republicans maintain control both of the House and the Senate,”
“The last thing I want is Chuck Schumer to be head of the Senate or Liz Warren to be chairperson of a committee or AOC to be chairperson of a committee.”
“The Democrats have not only lost my votes, but they have made me an enemy, essentially, by how they’ve moved away from American values, Israeli values and values of decency,” he continued. “I’m not a Republican, but I am a very anti-Democrat. I’m against the Democratic Party. I will do anything to see Mamdani defeated.”
On Monday, Dershowitz officially left the Democrat Party.

Enjoy your blog, and have never commented before. I've never really had antisemitic thoughts (go ahead and call me one. I don't care; please show me I'm wrong), but one thing I'm really starting to notice is a certain groups (apparent) true allegiance. This groups main political home was the democratic party. No matter how corrupt or duplicitous, nor the graft, perversion, incompetence, or just plain how much damage that party has done to the United States, this group didn't seem to have much of a problem with it. Certainly not enough of one to speak up about switching partys. But now Israel's actions are being questioned and attacked by their traditional party, well, that was too much. Damaging the country that has provided for and protected them is ok, but the other is too much. And no I'm not a cheerleader for Iran or islam.
ReplyDeleteWell ... if you're going to come here and make what you must think is a controversial statement, you should at least work up the nerve to leave an alias, initials, something. There are a lot of Anons who come here and make comments just to be assholes and sometimes I just delete 'Anons' for being assholes.
Delete"I've never really had antisemitic thoughts (go ahead and call me one. I don't care;" ... WTF? I don't usually accuse people of shit they haven't been proven guilty of ... and obviously you DO care, it's your second sentence.
NOW ... it's true, and it's a sad truth that a lot of Israelis and/or Jews do seem to belong to the Democratic Party. I don't understand it and I don't believe a lot of the Jew-hating accusations that the anti-Semites throw around.
Israel has provided for and protected US interests as well and they share an immense amount of medical and technological technology with the US.
I'm not going to get in depth with pros and cons of our relationship with Israel in a comment box on a blog. It is not the environment for a debate. Not going to do it.
I am PRO-Israel ... for several reasons. The main one being: Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: ..."
Whether you hate or love Israel is up to you. I have made my decision.
I am glad you enjoy the blog ... I try.
Once a liberal, democrat lawyer, he will always be a liberal, democrat. Leopards cannot change their spots. I don't buy his explanation or his excuse. He is a jew, and his little brain will always think as a jew, I am an independent and I don't like what those buffoons in israel are doing and have invaded our government and we slobber at their feet. Even though democrats are my nemesis, they are not my friend but are serving a useful role whatever their reasoning for hating they jew. Maybe, just maybe they have finally figured out a jew in your midst is trouble and not healthy.
ReplyDeleteI understand there are views on Israel that run from hate to love.
DeleteAs far as Dershowitz is concerned, this little bit of what he said should make you hate him just a little less:
"The Democratic Party has become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history. Last week all but seven Senate Democrats voted for an arms embargo against the Jewish state, and an avowed enemy of Israel, Abdul El-Sayed, is gaining ground in the Democratic campaign for U.S. senator from Michigan.
There is no denying that the hard left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Until recently there was an age gap, with younger voters more strongly opposing Israel, but recent polls suggest that the trend now includes Democrats of all ages. Republicans have their own antisemitic fringe, but for now it remains a fringe.
I believe that the Democratic Party’s hostility to Israel represents a deeper and more dangerous shift away from the center and toward a radical approach that is bad for America and the free world. So I intend to work hard to prevent the Democrats from gaining control of the House and Senate, and I urge those who share my concerns about the increasing influence of radicalism in the Democratic Party to vote, campaign and contribute for continued Republican control of Congress." -- Alan Dershowitz
I used to be an unwavering supporter of Israel. They are the only democracy in the region and an example of what could be for other countries in the region.
DeleteWe have been a good partner of Israel's but Israel has not been a good partner of ours. They dragged us into an unnecessary war in Iran, they shamelessly meddle in our elections. AIPAC has become a mayor player in American elections and only give money to politicians aligned with Israel's policies. Tell me one other country that allows an other country to legally meddle in their elections.
The last few years have made clear that Israel is not our friend. They are happy to take our money and use our military for their wars. But that is all they care about.
There's several things that you said that are incorrect but I don't get any satisfaction from trying to make people like Israel ... you either like them or you don't.
DeleteI'm a huge fan.
Israel dragging us into a war in Iran is one of those things. You need to look around and find out what Trump has even said about that. Trump doesn't do anything he doesn't want to do. You're just wrong about that.
I seriously doubt Dershowitz voted for one democrat since the 90s
ReplyDeleteThis is like Lindsey Graham coming out of the closet. Great for him if he does, but we all already know...
JDH
I think you actually meant "I seriously doubt Dershowitz voted for one REPUBLICAN since the 90s"
DeleteOtherwise your comment makes no sense from the viewpoint of someone who is anti-Dershowitz.
Dershowitz was Epstiens attorney. ZERO credibility! None!

Yeah ... there is no excuse for that.
