Alan Dershowitz leaves Democratic Party, cites DNC: ‘I was disgusted’

by September 7, 2024
written by September 7, 2024

Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced his departure from the Democratic Party, citing several ‘anti-Jewish’ lawmakers that make up the ranks of the party and the recent Democratic National Convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the party’s presidential nominee. 

Speaking with radio host Zev Brenner on ‘Talkline with Zev Brenner,’ Dershowitz cited the DNC, which he said gave legitimacy to anti-Israel speakers, and anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering. 

‘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.’

‘I am no longer a Democrat. I am an Independent,’ he added, noting that he wouldn’t reveal whom he was voting for president until possibly after Nov. 1. ‘I want to see how they deal with Iran. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel.’

The Harvard Law professor emeritus said his departure from the party was a long time coming and that he gradually resigned over time. 

‘Alot of things pushed me in that direction,’ he said. Dershowitz noted Harris’ failure to preside over a joint session of Congress during an address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a big role in his decision. 

Some Democrats skipped Netanyahu’s speech as a form of protest. 

Ultimately, it was the convention that was held in Chicago last month that pushed him over the edge, he said. 

He named Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, who he said were anti-Israel, and Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been accused of antisemitism in the past.

In addition, there were anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering who called for the destruction of Israel, he said. 

‘That’s not my party,’ Dershowitz said. 

The Democratic Party has seen a sharp split within its ranks following the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. Some members of the party have refused to condemn the terror group and have blamed Netanyahu for Israel’s military response. 

Many Democrats have called for a ceasefire and urged Israel to use restraint while neglecting to hold Hamas and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group based in Lebanon, in Israel’s north, to the same standard.
