Renowned author and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz has officially severed ties with the Democratic Party due to growing anti-Israel attitudes displayed during the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
In an interview on Talkline with Zev Brenner, Dershowitz voiced his reasons: “It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I’ve experienced,” he said. “I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted.”
Dershowitz took particular issue with US Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, labeling them as “anti-Israel.” He also condemned Rev. Al Sharpton, who has previously faced allegations of antisemitism.
In addition to criticizing the featured speakers, Dershowitz expressed outrage at the convention’s acceptance of anti-Israel demonstrators outside the event.
“That’s not my party,” Dershowitz remarked, declaring that he now identifies as an independent rather than a Democrat.
