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.”
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
