Alan Dershowitz is the man Freepers love to hate. And with many a good reason. However I believe he has turned a corner with his terrorism book and his latest, which supports Israel. Jihadist Muslims and leftists have a new enemy.

I'll bet Dersh has been deeply scored by many of his lefty admirers.

He is a civil libertarian, as he calls himself. I'd say he more like a classical liberal while his previous co-travelers keep moving further to the left.

His problem is to be consistent in his logic. I can respect people who I disagree with when they have different political views, but are consistent in their logic. Dershovitz demonstrated a number of times that the Leftists don't apply to Israel the same set of standards they are applying to everybody else. (for that matter Pat Buchanan, Charley Reese, Joe Sobran and in less degree, but still regretfully my local talk-show man Ron Smith: their logic stops at the doorsteps of Israel).
