International law experts are blasting Doctors Without Borders for forcibly removing civilian patients from the aid group’s Kunduz, Afghanistan, hospital and replacing them with wounded Taliban fighters when the city fell to the rebel control in late September.
Alan Dershowitz, an acclaimed Harvard constitutional lawyer and authority in international law, said that he was not surprised that the group, known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, favored Taliban fighters over civilian patients, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview that he regards Doctors Without Borders as “Doctors Without Morals.â€
Dershowitz charged the group with having a long history of anti-Western political stances and of not being neutral. He says MSF “is a heavily ideological organization that often favors radical groups over Western democracies and is highly politicized.â€
The lawyer said the doctors also were hypocritical. “What they violate is their own stated mandate and that is of taking no political ideological position and treating all people in need of medical care equally. It’s just not what they do.â€

Dershowitz is vehemently pro-Israel, and is infuriated with his old buddy Obama.
Now he’s sensible (honest) about this. Maybe as he gets older marbles are falling into place.
Dershowitz is a brilliant moron.
I think Dershowitz is the only liberal I have a soft spot in my heart for. He’s trying to hold onto those last vestiges of what it meant to be an intellectually honest liberal. Like those college professors of yore who would say, “Well I’m not sure about your conclusion but let’s explore it for a moment.”
What Dinesh D’Souza would call the rumple-suited ACLU lawyer effect.
Dersh has always seemed to me to be a fluke- an “honest liberal”
I never heard him use ridiculous or clearly false arguments just to advance his agenda
He may be a liberal, which is fine, but does not appear to be a blind-faith one.
“”Dershowitz is a brilliant moron.””
Post of the Day!
Several years back, I thought Doctors Without Borders was a good, humanitarian group and gave them a charitable donation. Once. After I started receiving their propaganda, I crossed them off our yearly charitable list. I was not surprised that one of their hospitals in Afghanistan was a target for our bombers.
Desrhowitz was on the Lolita Express with Clinton to Epstein Island..he’s a perv too
That figures.
Thanks. Think of all the intellectual wreckage he has left behind throughout the decades—and all the minds he has loaded with progressive crap.
It’s about time that they were called put for what they are.

Alan Dershowitz, a possible sex predator who may very well have raped underaged girls on an island run by another powerfully rich pedophile
Does Dershowitz still think conservatives are "genuine evil?"
But he'd vote for him a third time.
And, in the company of another known sexual predator? Slick somebody or other. As Monica would say, “Close, but no cigar.”
Dershowitz and Camille Paglia, I disagree with them on most issues, but they are straightforward and honest about their liberal beliefs.
Well if that is so; and, I certainly hope it is, it is like Winston Churchill once said. “If you are not a Liberal at 20 you have no heart. If you are still a liberal at 40 you have no mind.
