Alan Dershowitz: I Am Not A Mouthpiece For Trump
Alan Dershowitz
The Forward falsely described me as an “informal adviser” to President Trump and as a “conservative.”
I am neither. I am an objective commentator who has publicly criticized many of Trump’s policies, including on immigration, revocation of security clearances, Charlottesville and other issues.
I have defended his civil liberties in precisely the same way I defended those of Bill and Hillary Clinton. That’s why I am one of the few people who appear regularly on CNN, MSNBC, ABC and NBC as well as Fox to present a non partisan, neutral, unpaid analysis.
I am also a liberal on both domestic and Israeli issues, having voted Democrat all my life an having favored the two-state solution and opposed Israel’s settlement policies since the early 1970’s.
Alan Dershowitz’s latest book is “The Case Against Impeaching Trump.”
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
