===================================

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“The anti-Semitism from the right is
the typical fascist anti-Semitism that
we remember from the bad and dark old days.

The anti-Semitism of the left is quite
different; it disguises itself as anti-Zionism,
but it quickly morphs into anti-Semitism.

When students yell there’s no room for Zionists
at Hunter College, they don’t mean Zionists.

They mean Jews. When they attack the
Zionist president of Hunter, they attack
the woman who happens to be Jewish.

I don’t even know what her views on Israel are.

So, it’s a new form of anti-Semitism
disguised as anti-Zionism.
We have to fight it hard.”

“G*D will give the Jewish people strength,
only then will the Jewish people have peace,
and that is the lesson of the Holocaust;
that is the lesson of Israel.

A strong Israel is required to get peace.
Never apologize for your strength.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“The difference between Israel and Hamas
[an Islamic terrorist organization] is
that Israel uses its soldiers to protect
its civilians, whereas Hamas uses its
civilians to protect its terrorists.

That is why most of Israeli casualties
have been soldiers and most of Hamas'
casualties have been civilians.

The other reason is that Israel builds
shelters for its civilians, whereas
Hamas builds shelters only for its
terrorists, intending that most of the
casualties be among its civilian shields.”
