When an influential American liberal and prominent legal mind walks away from the Democratic Party, it will make waves. And Alan Dershowitz has done exactly that.
A Democrat since age 14, the 87-year-old now says what drove him away. “I can’t be associated with a party that’s kind of leading the anti-Zionist, anti-Israel morphing into anti-Semitic campaign.”
Dershowitz tells CBN News the breaking point has been building, and it really accelerated after the 2024 DNC Convention, where he says the party provided a platform to anti-Israel voices, which led to hateful rhetoric in this year’s key Senate races. The embrace of controversial figures like Hasan Piker has only made things worse.
“I got banned completely from the New York Times. But now they’re giving a platform to Hassan Piker because he’s so close to Democrats. Rahm Emanuel, Bernie Sanders, all these people are now getting in bed with a Nazi, a real Nazi. I mean, not just a pseudo Nazi, but somebody who might as well be wearing a swastika,” he explained.
