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.

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.

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]

 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.

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?

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 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.
