You are of course 100% correct, and this egregious attack supports what you once claimed: "guilty by accusation". Unfortunately, the anti-Israel lobby will always use this debunked accusation against you. Find the culprits and sue them for defamation. You have to fight back every time.

Sue the hell out of each and every one of them. Until they have a consequence for their actions, they will continue.

Amen, Alan. Illegitimi non carborundum. Do not let the bastards grind you down. These folks are anti semites who hate Israel. In the inspiring jihadist words of the Imam of Gaza, "Kill, kill, kill every Jew wherever you can find them." The Palestinians already have a state. It is called Jordan. Please explain why these Palestinians have both Jordanian citizenship and are still regarded as refugees. This con game is costing every American citizen mucho pesos.

Well, Mr Bergman: your argument logically says that pedophilia is excusable as long as the pedo is a zionist. I imagine you will at least say there are limits? The information is not complete, but what if Alan went beyond those limits? Are you aware of the publically available facts in the Epstein case, and if not, why do you write a comment? Do you seeing being Jewish as being blind to any evil a Jew does? Would you argue that Jeffrey Epstein should not have been punished? Or that Gislaine, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, by accounts a Mossad agent and mega wealthy publisher, was wrongly imprisoned? Of course not. But then refine your language. And maybe open your mind by researching and wondering what Alan did for 15 years, the man he worked and played with, the deals he finagled from Alex Acosta to Acostas subsequent great regret. You know of course Jeffrey Epstein was not only an ardent zionist but that was his "entree" into the world of mega-wealth. Read more about this, It beats TV.

Follow sharia law please. Homosexuality is banned, according to the Koran. You have damaged the image of one of your most beloved jihadists, Yasir Arafat, by accusing him of being partially homosexual. The former President of Iran claimed that the Islamic Republic has no homosexuals. Where did they disappear to? You are in deep trouble. Please wear your quafiya to hide your face. The good news is that sharia law allows one to do whatever you want to women. You can mutilate, rape, murder them and of course, honor killings are encouraged. Also, according to the Koran, if you are a believer you are encouraged to lie to the infidel. This should be easy for you, because you have already mastered the skill of lying.

Gee, Perry. Surely my name does not sound islamic to you. I do speak fluent classical Arabic, and a homosexual Phalangist once tried to pick me up, but where does all this sharia gay quafiya come from? Of course as an Arabist i know your interpretation ofsharia law is so very wrong that youobviously have not studied it. I did not accuse Arafat; i just confirmed that I had probably read the same news article you had. You seem a little unbalanced today Perry. BTW what you call "lying" is what actors call "acting". Get a grip, guy.

The fact that a certain person here has to continually post the same accusations and/or insult others here tells you everything you need to know: the accusations are meaningless unless repeated numerous times.

Antisemites are now crawling out from the rocks they’ve been under. We need you, Alan, as a strong voice for Jews and Israel! And we need a strong Israel to show that shedding Jewish blood is no longer cheap, as it has been for 2,000 years.

As Russ Roberts, longtime host of the Econtalk podcast said on episode #931, that we should start calling anti-semitism what it is “Jew hatred”. I agree.

More often than not, euphemisms hide the truth. Let’s not do that.

Jew hatred is disgusting.

Just think. If Alex Acosta had not been cowed by Epstein's money and influence, maybe Dershowitz would have never got his personal immunity deal. then maybe he might have been indicted and convicted. But were he tried and convicted rightly or wrongly, he would have still been a strong voice for the Jews and Israel. And coincidentally for Israeli genocide, which he would of course deny despite the Mt. Rainer of rubble and civilian human remains emerging in Gaza. In a parallel universe, in the world of science fiction, where a Dershowitz doppelganger (a different entity from Alan) and was convicted of serial pedophilia, would it not be fitting that the leading voice for the genocide nation would be a convicted serial pedophile? Why do you not choose at least externally impeccably moral people as your strong voice?

This is your opinion, based on your own anti semitic fantasies. Yes, there is a Zionist pedophile hiding under every rock. Of course, Jeffery Epstein was a friend of the rich and famous. He was particularly welcome at Harvard, another Zionist institution. I need your expertise to inform me whether Yasir Arafat was gay or not.

Expand full comment

I will not inclined to analyze your paranoia about what is under every rock,, but yoir comment is so off topic. BTW I have read from several sources he was in fact least bisexual if not gay, but so what? WTF does that have to do with the issue at hand of allegations of pedophilia? To add to your paranoia striking deep with your last sentence,I might ask if you think negatively about gay people. Why do you bring it up ? You know, some gay people are zionists? JPost showed pictures of a Gay Pride parade in Tel Aviv. Are gays anti-semites too?

I hereby accept Mr Dershowitz's offer to ask him questions about the Epstein case and his promise to answer truthfully. There are many questions because the Epstein relationship lasted 15 years, not just from 2006-2008. (Alan: This 2 year claim you make is NOT a good starting point for promising to be truthful.) In my extensive research, I do not find that you have publically answered any of these questions before. The questions are as follows:

Describe a) how you secured the famous sweetheart deal for Jeffrey Epstein and b) a separate secret non-prosecution deal for yourself and unnamed Epstein co-conspirators. Also, was Alex Acosta lying when he claimed he was told that the Epstein child trafficking. operation was run on behalf of an intelligence agency? Did you tell Acosta that it was a Mossad operation? If you did not, why did Acosta grant these deals? Why did you feel you needed to have a secret non-prosecution deal?

2) If you acted only as Epstein's attorney, why did particular groomed girls know who you were and know specifically you by name? The housekeeper at 9n E 11th St (the Epstein NYC mansion) says under oath you were a frequent visitor and that you let yourself in and often went straight up to the second floor where the underage girls were kept.. Is the housekeeper lying, and why ? The internet has a report that you admitted to having a massage at the mansion, but that you " kept your underpants on at all times". Is this true? What other experiences did you have with Epstein's girls touching you? Another internet site reports that a girl said Epstein was teasing you to undress in front of a girl. Did that happen? The girl claimed that sexual devices were in the room. Is that true? She claims penetration. Untrue? Any physical contact short of penetration?

3. Is it correct that you do not generally view pedophilia as being immoral? You have previously published articles advocating a substantial reduction in the Sexual Age of Consent, as I recall suggesting it could go down to 13. Do you have the opinion that sex with minors is simply a formalistic legal prohibition, not even observed by Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis, so you are no worse than they? What I am getting at is whether you lack an intellectual`basis for having contempt for pedophilia?

4. You claim repeatedly that you were "exonerated" when Virginia Giuffre dropped her civil case Do you not see that you being deceptive with the American public?. Giuffre has specifically stated that dropping the civil suit was "NOT AN EXONERATION OF DERSHJOWITZ". Doesn't that explicit statement make your statement untruthful? Secondly you claim that her accusation was "disproved". I cannot see that at all. It was simply withdrawn. If your statement about "disproved" is truthful, please explain.

5. Regarding intimidation of the groomed girls and your aggressive and intrusive defamation lawsuits against the whistleblowers and their attorneys, there is an issue of your obstruction of justice by intimidating the sources of evidence. There is reason to believe your aggression intimidated some girls who wanted to complain about sexual abuse. Please answer why intimidation would not be expected when the girls generally were afficted with post-traumatic stress, often drugged and threatened by Epstein's co-conspirators and were quite alone and without a support network. Your public statements about these girls seem aggressive and intimidating; you said they were "lunatics" and "prostitutes". They were underage groomed girls put on drugs by your friend and employer, Alan. Please comment.

6. Sara Ransome (sp) has specifically stated under oath in a deposition that you raped her, participated in a threesome and in detail described your naked body (without underpants), What part of her story do you admit to? How did she know YOU by name? Why would she lie about you rather than say Bill Clinton or Bill Gates?

7. What details do you know about the findings of the Palm Beach Police Department/FBI criminal investigation of you?.- This investigation was shut down by Acosta's grant of the non-prosecution agreement. Will you agree to specifically demand release of the files of that criminal investigation so we can read what evidence it uncovered? The Palm Beach Police Chief was incensed that you and Epstein got off so easy. He gave a public statement available on google denouncing the non-prosecution and sweetheart deals. What reaction do you have to his denunciation? Will you agree to a re-opening of the criminal investigation since there is no statute of limitations for the pedophilia at issue and since so few of the girls who passed thru the trafficking ring were questioned by the police/FBI?

8) Who were the other co-consprirators covered by the non-prosecution agreement. Identities. please

9) Why have you not cooperated by identifying Epstein's friends and clients and to the extent you know or heard, their pedophilic activities?

10. Pleaee explain your understanding of the purpose of the Epstein child trafficking. Was it both for money and securing political influence? Did the child traffickinghave anhy relationship with thed decision to allow Jonathan Pollard to return to Israel before serving outhis sentence and probation?

Did the child trafficking ring have any relationship with the Mossad theft of krytons (nuclesr detonators) from a warehouse owned by a wealthy Israeli financier?

11. Did you meet Joanna Sjøberg?

12. Were you in any conceivable maqnner complicit in protecting the child trafficking ring from law enforcement.

You seem to be following this issue closely and are, no doubt, far more informed than most of us. However, in your questions there seems to be a thinly disguised bias against Dershowitz. Which, I suppose, would be expected if you’re an activist of some sort rather than a truth seeker. Which are you, by the way?

Anyway, that aside, my sense is you want to get him to answer some pointed questions, which i assume he hasn’t answered before. It seemed at first these questions, if answered or acted upon would help unpeel some sort of ‘rotten onion’. Good.

However, while your questions at first seemed balanced, they became more and more disoriented and almost rabid as you went along. Which is a pity, because it’s quite off-putting.

It certainly began to make me feel that there is some derangement associated with your point of view. And I’m sure you would rather avoid that.

Anyway, there you go. Let’s see if he thinks you’re worth answering.

Greg makes good points.

But what really peaks my interest is his style of writing, if only because some people have a very analytical, almost genius way of presenting themselves which otherwise stands out from an ordinary crowd.

A pseudonym cannot fully hide such a prose.

So if Greg is who I think he is, then thank you for everything you did. You're a patriot.

The devil truly did go down to Georgia.

It is my real parents-given name. I would be very surprised if I am who you think I am, There are at least two others with my name. I expect Dershowitz has sent the defamation lawsuits to them. I used to live in NYC and DC though, but live in Hurdal with parrots now, Thanks for the unique encouragement.

Can you provide the sources.

For example:

"Sara Ransome (sp) has specifically stated under oath in a deposition that you raped her, participated in a threesome and in detail described your naked body (without underpants)"

And this one:

"What details do you know about the findings of the Palm Beach Police Department/FBI criminal investigation of you?.- This investigation was shut down by Acosta's grant of the non-prosecution agreement. "

Research, and so shall you know. Peope whom he wanted to know, knew. Dershowitz was one. Wexner and the Mega group of extremely rich were others. And if you rein in your biases, you will find suspicions of foreign intelligence activity.. Epstein ran a blackmail operation, not just for money but also influence andpolitical control. Issues like getting enough influence to get Jonathan Pollard back to Israel, getting krytons out of a US warehouse were among many goals. Ghislaine's father was a known asset; at his funeral the directors of three Israeli intelligence agencies attended as well as the PM Peres and 2 in his cabinet. Theo, there is really no point in your comments if you are so innocent of relevant knowledge. You are nnot so young anymore. Things happen in the world, but you just do not know. And when they do not fit your preconceived framework, you write a comment like the one I am answering. i recommend as role model: Karl Marx. He refused to write a single word until he had read everything findable about the topic.

Having read your book ,"Guilt by Accusations" it is clear you are innocent. That your years of defending civil and constitutional rights no matter what side of the political or social spectrum anyone comes from does not enter into the logical thought process of university students is frightening. The silencing of one free voice mutes the comprehension and reflection of everyone. Your years of uncompromising integrity and defense of the poor are stellar. God bless you

Wouldn't you have to prove malice to win that kind of defamation case?

Incidentally, it will be worse in ten years. The indoctrination in public schools is designed to create social justice foot soldiers. Soon, they won't be circulating posters; they will be setting fire to your house.

Now is the time to look for a second home. You don't want to be in America when the mob enters the White House, burns it to the ground, and calls themselves 'liberators' of 'tryants'.

When 'fascism' becomes 'anti-fascism', and when purple haired, nose-ring swingers dare to call themselves 'leaders', then sensible people need to begin moving their assets elsewhere. The flight of capital and the decline of the dollar will become more apparent in the next few years.

There are some variations in State laws, but Dershowitz has clearly made himself a public celebrity figure, so the starting point is NY Times v. Sullivan.

What he is: an accused pedophile and bully who for about 15 years also enabled Jeffrey Epstein and protected him from law enforcement. And he then obstructed production of evidence indicating his and Epstein's wrongdoings with a flurry of defamation lawsuits, a media campaign describing the underaged groomed girls as "lunatics" and "prostitutes", and arrranging a non-prosecution deal for himself which stopped the Palm Beach Police/FBI criminal investigation of him. The consequence was hundreds of underage girls who began with a horrible exploitative sexual experience, had to grow up with post traumatic stress, exposure to the consquences of the drugs Epstein's co-conspirators gave them and in some cases a very early death or disability. And they never saw a single man convicted for his pedophilia. And for what?

The monstrosity of crime has no effect on you. Was Jeffrey Epstein, his bestt friend, also in your opinion an esteemed and honest philantropist who donated money to forest Israel, thereby being a "decent man in your opinon". ?

I am not your best fan but I like to know your take on things and never for a second did I ever think you were a pedophile.

That being said you should know by now that the Democrats are leftists and the party of slavery. They will use any deceitful trick to not allow truth to come out or be spoken.

They are immoral, unethical, dark , power hungry and want us enslaved.

I am a Constitutionalist.

I am pro Israel because to be otherwise is to support terrorism.

People are brainwashed plus they don’t know facts and history.

We must make the globe safe for all and getting rid of terrorists is the first step .

Our administration has allowed violence and lawlessness and corruption. Well and much more.

We are fighting a spiritual war of good vs evil.

Biden is not on the side of good. Nor are any Democrats that I know of. Maybe Senator Manchin.
