Actually, when it comes to the middle east and defending Israel, Dershowitz is very conservative. I have my differences with the man but he is definitily not a terrorist lover or supporter, as are many east coast acedemics
I read Dershowitz's book "The Case for Israel", he gets it, at least about this subject. Of course, he's now been excoriated by the left, gets death threats and is not welcome on college campuses.
