Dershowitz to Newsmax: Obama Could Be ‘Chamberlain of 21st Century’

President Barack Obama is in danger of going down in history as “the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st century,” if he fails to stop Iran’s development of the nuclear bomb, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz tells Newsmax.TV.

“I know Obama, I like Obama, I voted for Obama,” Dershowitz said in the exclusive interview. “I hope he is not remembered in history as the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st century, the person who didn‘t see the greatest evil, didn’t recognize the greatest evil of the 20th century, as Chamberlain did not.”

Chamberlain was the British Prime minister who signed the 1938 Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Germany and failing to see the threat the Nazis posed.

“Without a doubt,” the Middle East will be a factor in voters’ minds when they go to the polls in November, Dershowitz said.

And he named four swing states — Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — in which fears about Iran and the administration’s lukewarm support for Israel could be a critical issue.

“If Iran were to develop nuclear weapons prior to the election, that would be a disaster for Obama’s reelection prospects,” Dershowitz said...

But he added, “The true test of Obama’s support for Israel will come over Iran. Iran poses an existential threat, not only to Israel’s existence, but to America’s safety.”

Dershowitz also called for Obama to cut ties with the left-wing website, Media Matters for America, because of the stance of its senior foreign policy fellow, M.J. Rosenberg, on Israel...

On the hippy/unicorns-and-rainbows side of the left, sure. Zer0, though, hung out with Maoists like Bill Ayers. I think he knows exactly what killing is.

[nuconvert]

He’s still liberal, but he had a wake-up call on Sept 11, 2001. He’s not the Dershowitz of years ago.

Hmmmm, no. They created him, but I don’t think he’s “maliciously” destroying America, I think he actually believes he’s doing the right thing for America, but he’s so wrong, and we all get to pay for it.

“I know Obama, I like Obama, I voted for Obama,” Dershowitz said <---- Proves you are chower head, Alan!

[Caipirabob]

I almost sense he is having a conversion to a more Conservative way of thinking.

I don't think that. I think he realizes that under obama, the future Jewish population could exist only in the United States if policy continues thus. At some level, it must be affecting his behavior.

[Common Sense 101]

While I agree with your assessment, I do not believe Israel will wait for the jug-eared skid mark's approval. Instead, I see Israel taking the initiative and completely wiping out all of the Iranian reactors without providing the pResident any warning whatsoever. I believe Bibi to be astute enough that the current reside of the White House is at best indifferent to the plight or even survival of the Israeli people, and at worst an active participant/enabler of their destruction. The O-hole should receive all of the credit he deserves in ridding the world of the Iranian nuclear threat, which happens to be the same number of benefits Americans have realized since his “ascension”... ZERO.

Our enemies are likely not to do much untoward us prior to the November elections... but, if OBAMA!! does not win, look for them to take advantage of our change in government to do something drastic.

NO! THIS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT FOR obama!!

[Inwoodian]

If you throw in his support for killing unborn and recently born babies he is both the 21st Century Chamberlain and Hitler.

Thanks iowamark.

He’s not Chamberlain, he’s the Quisling of the 21st Century.

“I don’t see how $7-10/gallon gasoline and a severe recession/depression would be a positive for Mr. Obama.”

a) he’ll find a way to blame both on other things/people besides himself, and his adoring, idiot fans will believe him; and
b) people are reluctant to change presidents if we’re in a serious war.

I know there are millions of intelligent and patriotic folks, I’m just afraid they may be outnumbered by the ignorant and lazy or, if not, the voter fraud will be rampant enough to appear so.

“They created him, but I don’t think he’s “maliciously” destroying America, I think he actually believes he’s doing the right thing for America”

Sorry, but you’re so wrong. He’s purposely taking down America. Read The Roots of Obama’s Rage by Dinesh D’Souza.

B. Hussein Obama is a very dangerous man and means us no good.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Dershowitz is Mr. Inconsistency - he sees the outrage of what the Democrats have wrought over the past 40 years, yet is irrationally tethered to the Democratic Party. Time and time again he sees the bankruptcy, dishonesty and racism of the Democratic Party and the damage they have done to the U.S. and sees that the party is driven by one-world order Marxists, yet can’t seem to cut his ties to the party of his parents. Dershowitz’s blindspot is as big as all outdoors.
