	The Claremont Institute » For the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy
		Alan Dershowitz has made a career in litigating and writing on the issues of the day as a lawyer, as a man who has taken as his vocation the rendering of justice.
		Dershowitz does not make the point crudely explicit; but it is there, between the lines, and so when he remarks that he is "(God help me) a moral relativist," it is merely a manner of speaking.
		Dershowitz remarks, in one of his strangest passages, that fetuses move, feel pain and are evidently "'alive'—at least at a certain point in their development." But if the organism in the womb were not "alive" and growing, an abortion would be no more indicated than a tonsillectomy.

	RealClearPolitics - Commentary - All Praise Prof. Alan Dershowitz by Tony Blankley
		Dershowitz argues that now, rather, we need to begin to develop an honest jurisprudence of prevention to legally regulate such mechanisms.
		Dershowitz observes, a jurisprudence develops slowly in response to generations, centuries of adjudicated events.
		But as Dershowitz points out, while the threat itself is not imminent, "the opportunity to prevent the threat will soon pass." Once they have the weapons it is too late.

		Like many spouses of major media figures, Alan Dershowitz's wife doesn't always recognize the guy who looks like her husband but says such strange things on television.
		Dershowitz would claim that his actions are entirely in the interest of educating the public about our legal system.
		What he proposes to offer instead of career advice is a blueprint for improving the state of the law as a whole; and as someone versed in the distinction between a zealous defense and absolute justice must know, the two are hardly the same thing.

		And after Professor Dershowitz claims PCATI conceded torture had ended, PCATI was still reporting that "Instances of torture, abuse, prisoners held incommunicado and excessive violence against [Palestinian] detainees continue to grow in both numbers and severity", while "interrogators and perpetrators of torture, their commanders and superiors enjoy impunity."[3]
		Despite Dershowitz's fervent attempts to prevent its publication, readers can soon find what promises to be a thorough debunking of The Case for Israel in Norman G. Finkelstein, Beyond Chutzpah: On the misuse of anti-Semitism and the abuse of history (Berkeley, CA: University of California, June 2005).

	Alan Dershowitz Argues It's Okay to Kill Israeli Civilians
		Alan Dershowitz is. All I am doing is taking his logic about the Lebanese civilians and applying it to Israeli civilians.
		Here Dershowitz has argued that they're not really civilians because they vaguely supported Hezbollah (actually, it wasn't really them, it was other people quoted in a newspaper article, but that's good enough for Dershowitz).
		It's again ironic that Dershowitz uses the Holocaust analogy as he claims it's okay to kill all the people in one nationality because they were all probably guilty anyway.

		Dershowitz wants Israel's benefits from terrorism to be solidified in Israel's current Apartheid regime, but all terrorism after that by Palestinians is justly responded to by collective punishment, assassination, and legalized torture.

		We're talking with Alan Dershowitz about the 5 years since the OJ trial.
		The main issue on the mind of both Judge Ito and prosecutor Garcetti was its effect on their re-elections, and elections should never influence justice.
		Dershowitz, I realize that a good defense attorney's job is to defend his client but what made you take the OJ case and if he had been a poor fl from a different neighborhood would you have taken the case and would you have believed in the innocence of your client?

	The Blog \| Alan Dershowitz: The World According to Jimmy Carter \| The Huffington Post
		Dershowitz well to remember that the Palestinians (Phillistines and Phoenicians)were, in fact residents of Palestine when the Jews left Egypt, and when the Jews arrived in Palestine they engaged in a persistent campaign of aggression and displacement, much as they have over the past 200 years.
		Dershowitz were to read through Israeli news, he'd find there was an active debate among Israelis along those lines, and that debate will likely intensify given recent revelations of the Israeli forcible appropriations of privately owned Palestinian property to facilitate the construction of Israeli settlements.
		Alan Dershowitz is not objective about anything to do with the Israeli Palestinian conflict or human rights.

	The Raw Story \| Alan Dershowitz in L.A. Times: Not all civilian deaths are equally tragic
		In today's Los Angeles Times, Harvard University Professor Alan Dershowitz has written a column in which he argues that the value of some civilian wartime casualties is less than others.
		Excepting the lame and the sick, then, anyone who declines to leave their home despite Israeli orders to do so is, ipso facto, complicit with terrorism and presumably fair game once the Israeli invasion gets under way.
		Alan Dershowitz, after all, is nothing if not very clever.

		Dershowitz agreed, surprisingly, informing me that he'd learned a lot about Palestinian suffering since ''Chutzpah,'' and that he has always opposed Israeli occupation of the West Bank and supported a two-state solution.
		DERSHOWITZ: 9/11 showed that we are being attacked by people we cannot deter, because they're not afraid of dying.
		DERSHOWITZ: Everything in Talmud is a matter of argument, and dissenting opinions are preserved forever, whereas most religious traditions eliminate dissenting views.

	The Jihad of Alan Dershowitz \| BaltimoreChronicle.com
		In high-profile cases, such as O.J. Simpson, Dr. Dershowitz, a seasoned criminal law jurist, serves as a media-savvy lawyer determined to defend "the guilty." Less well known, however, is that this advocacy Mephistopheles thrives on inventing unpopular, counter-intuitive, and even unjust exceptions to international law--a subject he normally does not teach.
		Dershowitz's exceptional defense of Israel is not confined to academic criticisms of the ICJ (or the International Red Cross or the United Nations).
		Dershowitz favors targeted assassination of terrorist leaders "involved in planning or approving on-going murderous activities." Under this protean standard, it is unclear whether spiritual and political leaders who favor terrorist violence but do not materially participate in specific terrorist acts may also be assassinated.
