Alan Dershowitz Defends Steve Bannon: ‘Not Legitimate To Call Somebody An Anti-Semite Because You Disagree With Their Policies’

TEL AVIV – Alan Dershowitz, a staunch Democrat and emeritus law professor at Harvard University, is hitting back against the smears claiming White House appointee Steve Bannon is anti-Semitic, arguing it is “not legitimate to call somebody an anti-Semite because you might disagree with their policies.”

Speaking in an interview with this reporter, Dershowitz stated:

I think we have to be very careful before we accuse any particular individual of being an anti-Semite. The evidence certainly suggests that Mr. Bannon has very good relationships with individual Jews. My former researcher, Joel Pollak, is an Orthodox Jew who takes off the Jewish holidays, who is a committed Jew and a committed Zionist, and he has worked closely with him. He has been supportive of Israel.

So, I haven’t seen any evidence of personal anti-Semitism on the part of Bannon. I think the (Breitbart) headline about a Conservative Republican being a renegade Jew was ill-advised. But it doesn’t suggest to me anti-Semitism. It suggests to me a degree of carelessness.

Anti-Semitic would mean a person has a negative view of Palestinians.
The so-called jews of Israel (Zionists) are Ashkenazi Jews - converted from the land of Turkey.

The Palestinian People are semites and are the rightful occupants of the land.

Kinda like being called a racist just because you disagree.

You ARE entitled to your own opinion, but NOT your own facts.
Isn't there a market, subway, or elemetary school you need to blow up?
Where did you get that half-assed idea? The book printed for pedophiles and murderers as a guide to life?
You know what I'm sayin'.....
Strap that vest on and go find some innocent people to maim and kill, but stop with the Palestinian VERSION of history. Only THEY believe it.
