Raskin is a CLASSIC liberal fascist....what makes it worse is that he is Jewish....he is a disgrace to his country, the constitution and his culture...shame on him.....all for self aggrandizement...one of the worst vices.....

His daddy co-founded the Institute for Policy Studies, considered by intelligence experts to be a Soviet front organization which closely aligned itself with the U.S.S.R. on policy issues during the Cold War. The man said to have funded the IPS was Samuel Rubin, who was a Comintern agent. Wonder if Mr. Dershowitz knew this? https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/samuel-rubin/

I sometimes wish that I could still be surprised when I learn that yet another person of Jewish ethnicity is conspired with Fascists, communists, et cetera, against the Americans and the very Country that gives them shelter and Liberty!

Congress Raskin must have some very large debts to pay. One wonders who he owes his seat to? And why he is so willing to do the bidding of those who continually work to destroy and use our Representative Republic?

I'm not one of those who lump all Jewish people together, nor do I see Israel's Government as the root of all evil; But I am not blind to the number of Jewish Americans who are ungrateful for the secure lives this Countries founding documents created! They continually side with those who will eventually make a tasty meal of them!

If you’re looking for a thoughtful exploration of this topic, I would recommend The Jews and the Left.

Historically, Jews have been among the most persecuted and discriminated-against peoples in the world, facing recurring hostility and exclusion for thousands of years. As a result, many developed a deep skepticism of prevailing political, religious, and social authorities. It is understandable that groups with such a history would be drawn to movements that emphasize protection of minorities and concern for the disadvantaged.

The appeal of ideologies built around an oppressor-versus-oppressed framework is not difficult to understand. Jews have often occupied the role of the outsider or “little guy” in society and therefore have frequently supported causes that seek to defend those perceived as vulnerable or marginalized.

The problem arises when good intentions become a substitute for evaluating actual outcomes. Like many collectivist political theories, including modern progressivism, these movements often place greater emphasis on intentions than results. When policies are judged primarily by their stated goals rather than their real-world consequences, serious failures can go unrecognized for far too long.

Whether one agrees with the book’s conclusions or not, it offers an interesting perspective on the historical relationship between Jews and left-wing political movements.

Just a couple pre-Genocide years ago, Dershowitz podcasted admiringly about Raskin.

Who is this Dershowitz? He is the widely known yet unregistered sex offender and Fifth Column foreign agent, the ideological and "business" partner of Jeffrey Epstein (Vicki Ward of Vanity Fair suggested in 2004 some kind of love affair between the two, photographing them dovey-eyed and overreaching each other in mutual cascading praise (Beauty and the midget Beast) Dershowitz is a generally known pedophilic monied (thanks to Epstein) person identifying despite his total lack of godliness as an ethnic Orthodox Jew..

Dershowitz's history is frequently one of self-contradiction. He was certainly not connected to Mario Savio's Free Speech Movement in the late Fifties . But he hopped on its bandwagon to climb up the career ladder and even appeared on William Buckley's Firing Line. defending the importance of Free Speech. That stuck with him for decades, self-promoting himself as a defender of Freedom. Until the Genocide. His Dershow became a running sewer of epithets against student demonstrators, especially at the Ivy League Schools. Freedom of Speech itself became an "antisemitic" right and had to be curtailed substantially in schools, in the media, inside the Government and in public discourse. Dershowitz had caught rabies. He started a Canary Mission list of all who criticized the Genocide, declared all were"antisemitic" and together with Canary Mission set about, just as he had done with Professor Finkelstein a decade earlier, demanding together with the monied Jewish Lobby that job offers to people on the list be rescinded, these people be fired, and of course be doxxed and defamed. He was most proud of getting a prominent Chicago Law Firm to withdraw its job offer to the President of the NYU Law Students Association, a person who was, like Harvard's previous President Gay, a Black Woman.. Dershowitz took full credit for the dismissal of President Gay, ironically for the same charges that Professor Finkelstein had proven against Dershowitz himself.

The story of Dershowitz is one of a striver with very short stature, habitually out of control in public forums, like other representatives the Israeli Government, and a background as a foreign agents and Mossad asset. Among the crimes for which he has demanded impunity thanks to the Jewish Lobby, and previously Epstein money, are the generally known hebophilia raping underage gentile children, genocide incitement, and wifebattering (Sue Barlach). Not a pleasant guy, yet Jewish Lobby money keeps him afloat.

But Pre-Genocide, Dershowitz had an entire Dershow program about Jamie Raskin, extolled as the best student Dershowitz ever taught and a highly intelligent lawyer, Dershowitz noting conspicuously that Raskin was a fellow Jew. So now because of criticism of the Israeli Government, for Dershowitz,, Raskin has the same traitorous self-hating Jew status as Finkelstein.

Is it not time to be tired of Dershowitz's Mark Levine- style antics and just focus on getting American prosecutors to escape the corruption of the Jewish Lobby and FINALLY indict Dershowitz?. I am looking forward to Dershowitz's hysterical revocation of Trump's title, anointed last Hanukah by Mark Levine, as "America's first Jewish President"

Meanwhile we can wonder about the extent of Dershowitx's business partnership with Epstein and apparent enforcer/Mossad connections. Epstein gave investment advice to Dersh, who obediently invested USD 500,000 into Transperfect stock Transperfect operates with language translation and interpetation. Epstein assured Dersh this was the bargain of a lifetime. The stock belly-flopped. Dersh went with tears in his eyes, arms trembling, very unlike Mark Levine, to Jeffrey. Jeff called somebody and ordered in his best Jewish mobster voice that Dershowitz's half million dollar loss had to be made right. Or else. The marketplace loss was refunded to Dershowitz. Transperfect is still around.

As shown in the Nicholson film "Cuckoo's Nest", sometimes , and especially in a foreign agent dominated society, you have to go to the mental asylums to find the truth about that society, And of course all truth-tellers and resistance to the Communists in the USSR . including Solzhenitsyn himself, were put into mental ward.

So Jon, your attempted insult falls flat . :Imagine. Jon, you being able to analyze and refute point of view and facts you ideologically dislike. Could be that you will get consensually laid, quite unike Dershowitz. . Ok Virginia,turn out the light and let's sleep.

Every once in awhile the universe has a ruthless way of imposing eternal justice when man's justice fails. Like Raskin sacrificing his own son to the effects of the OWS Death Jab. So, there's that.

For the Raskin's out there who ritually sacrifice children, including their own, the hereafter will be rather toasty.

Thank you for the history/constitutional law lesson Professor! I always get so much out of them. I wish more people could hear them! Personally tired of the double standard of Democrats today. The difference between them and their predecessors is that they have zero integrity. I suspect that's one of the reasons you became a Republican.

Kathleen Bruce's avatar

you think that Trump has integrity? OK. 🙄

Fred Theobald's avatar

There is a reason you are not liked or welcome in Liberal, now Democratic Socialist, circles anymore. You are too rational and still of a sound mind to remember history and Constitutional law, and not make everything, "my way or the highway." You bring common sense and an objective reading of the Constitution, and facts, which infuriates your former supporters, especially when they are trying to carve out niches that take away President's Trumps rights (and the rights of anyone not of the Democratic Socialist bent), which they expect themselves to retain. You may like Jamie Raskin and think him intelligent, but to those who do not personally know him, he is a blubbering fool and has become what is so wrong with the those who believe they are the "intelligentsia." You should remind your former student that he used to be a better man, as it appears you believe he was.

Freedom Fox's avatar

For that appeal to work on Raskin he would have to not be a Marxist. Marxists, the "Rules for Radicals" Alinsky-ites are never constrained by ideals, allowing the protections found in free nations with free speech to protect the rights of those who oppose them. They exploit the existing model in order to bring it down, not protect the sanctity of it to pass down to those who follow. They lie in order to gain power. With no intention of allowing those they displace from power the same path they followed into power open for their opponents who foolishly allowed them. A one-way utilitarian street. One rule for me, another rule for thee. Raskin couldn't give two poops about it. Exposing him as a hypocrite has value. But he and his ilk have no shame, zero shame. And it will take enough constituents to find the hypocrisy too much to bear to unelect him.

Poor Alan.

He is a decent liberal surrounded by a pack of leftists wolves and he never learned how to howl.

Raskin and his ilk do not care about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights

They care about one and only one thing and that is how to get and keep power and any way they do so is justified.

Power is its own justification and the end justify any and all means.

There is no such thing as true or false only words that advance the cause.

Alan is as bewildered by today’s America as the Jews in Germany were in the 1930s. How could this be happening to us good citizens in the land of Kant and Beethoven?

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

Sadly true. You hit the nail on the head. The has been simmering on the stove for decades now. Professor Dershowitz had earned a spot near the top, so he didn't notice he was being slowly steamed to death. Trump came along and turned of the heat and pulled the pot off the stove. Raskin and his ilk, keep trying to bring the pot back to a boil.

greg starr's avatar

No, the nail completely missed the head. None of you Jewish extremists write about the intimate connection of Dershowitz to organized pedophilia or even through Meir Kahane to Shimon Bar Kokhba.

With Dershowitz being so generally known to be connected to the organized pedophilia of Gentile underage children, there are issues about 1) how utterly irreligious he has been and is and 2) whether for Orthodox and ultra-orthodox Jews the Torah even prohibits pedophilia. Judicial notice could be taken about the empirical significantly larger occurence of pedophilia in Orthodox and Ultra.orthodox communities in Israel and Brooklyn. where the States Attorney devotes a special unit to enforcing Statutory Rape Law in these communities.

The scope of the term "Pedophilia" was once was limited to children before puberty, so naturally the Emeritus picks the historical meaning to deny that he has been is a pedophile based on the term's meaning before the Enlightenment. Since then in law and moral prohibition the term has expanded to include hebophilia, covering children who by specific law could not consent (13 to 18) because of expected immaturity. The Epstein-Dershowitz Organization specialized in pimping gentile children over 13 to the donor class and to targets for blackmail. Considering the clear prevalence of persons identifying themselves as "ethnic" Orthodox Jews among the child rapists, there is an issue about the connection of modern pedophilia to the Orthodox and ultrsøorthodox branches of judaism.

This issue needs unbiased study and perhaps may point to a need for a reformation so these branches are congruent with modern morality and law. The Torah has not been the only source of Jewish law., and often uses non-specific wording under which pedophilia may be interpreted as being forbidden- - - like the general prohibitions against violence, rape and murder. The Torah certainly does not specifically prohibit the hebophilia now denoted by the word "pedophilia". The closest prohibition seems to be that against adult-on- boy homosexuality. The term "zachar" (male) denotes the rapist and the term "naar" denotes the boy.

As it well-known the child rapes connected to the Epstein-Dershowitz Organjzation were connected to Gentile girls, and apparently only exceptionally to boys, for one certain Gentile target for Mossad blackmail (because of the still ongoing cover up of Dershowitz and Epstein files, and the FBI/DOJ sealing of the West Palm Beach Police investigation of Dershowitz, no verification of the Gentile's identity is possible).

There may come a day when campus thugs make a bonfire of Alan’s books. Many others too. They won’t even pretend anymore that it is about Gaza. Raskin may even join in the fun.

greg starr's avatar

You really miss what the issue is with Alan: his generally known personal hebophilia and his close involvement with Jeffrey Epstein in ideological and purient matters. Five years from now, or even next week or tomorrow, no one is going to be concerned about Alan's relationship with Raskin unless Epstein is involved in that relationship too. Anything Dersh writes as "analysis" is simply Epsteino Distracto unless he cooperates with ongoing investigations of generally known Epstein.Dershowitz pedo- and hebophilia.

It has always been difficult for Dersh to make a good physical impression given his midgetcy,, his skin afflictions, bodily condition and particularly those deficiencies attested to in Sarah Ransome's sworn description of his underpants less body ("sans culottes" which inspired the French Revolutionary judiciary)..

Knowing the general knowledge of his comprehensive efforts to cover up the Epstein-Dershowitz' partnership's activities with 1000 exclusively gentile kids, why do you even want to read Alan's comment about Raskin, unless you expected to read about Alan's use of the dildo on Jamie. You need to know Jamie is not that kind of guy. But Is Alan trying to tell us more about Jamie?

Why not automatically take a general perspective+ Wonder why the people running - - -and getting, as donors, teenage sexual benefits from - - - the Epstein Dershowitz network, connected their irreligious selves to one very particular branch of judaism and to Rabbi Kahane's ideology- - -and wonder about the connection between the two. Is the connection between the branch of the religion and the pedophilia just a" beard", sort of a false flag to operate under? Or does the religion justify the sexual bondage of underage non-jewish kids because of an interpretation of the Babylonian Talmud?

Was Dersh just ahead of his time? Maybe he could have prevented the Genocide by simply persuading Ehud Barack to recommend siphoning off the to-be-killed- Gaza children for sexual BDSM education in Epstein's mansions in NYC, Palm Springs, New Mexico (with plenty empty space for burying dead kids) and the Virgin Islands. After all, wouldn't a good revisionist zionist not agree that sexually exploiting a non-Jewish child to points well beyond PTS is more humane than killing them under rubble in Gaza?

You are not just an idiot but a raving psychopath. In fact, I would say that you are possessed by a demon from Hell.

Every word you write may as well have been written by Julius Streicher, editor of Der Sturmer, who was hanged at Nuremberg.

You are beyond professional help. You need an exorcist.

dofaust's avatar

I don't share ANY admiration for Raskin and his Marxism. You shouldn't either. In today's times, Marxists have combined forces - often with glaringly incompatible forces - e.g., with the genderists, climate-catastrophe wackos, and with antisemites, with Islamists, and with others, to produce as large a front of Leftism as possible. No attempt is made to explain anything from the Left, because they are inarticulate, and stupid, and uninformed. The Left is following a very old and very-failed playbook.

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

Agreed, it is an old book. But even old dusty books get read and considered. The real problem is our Education System is teaching the lessons of that "Marxist Book", and not contrasting the lesson, with the teaching about the devastating outcomes of Marxism. They instead, neglect to compare and contrast it with the teaching of our Constitution!

Higher Ed in the USA and most first-world countries,

has been very broken for decades. I was there in person

off and on for many decades. All the forces of the Left

have conspired to ruin the system. More than I can enumerate here.

But check out "The Chronicle Of Higher Ed" from the 1990s

onward and you'll see what I saw in real time. Its going to take

a long time for higher ed to come back from the laughingstock

state they are in now, especially the "ivies". Its worse than one might think: in addition to the humanities/social sciences, the Left has dealt many STEM departments a blow.

Do the research: there's a mountain of evidence, and its depressing.

No one is better known, world wide now, as an unpunished still living pedo/hebophile and functional,organizer and protector of America's most comprehensive pedo/hebophilic organization than ALAN MORTON DERSHOWITZ. This is an importsnt issue dirrectly affecting the credibility of anything he writes. Dershowitz is clearly motivated to distract attention towards the crimes for which he has been accused yet not indicted: multiple serial rape of underage children thereby serially violating Statutory Rape Law in several States, interstate underage child trafficking for sexual purposes, participation in a criminal organization dedicated to child rape, and serial hate crime. Dershowitz's podcasts are as Jimmy Kimmel might say "EPSTEINO DISTRACTO" . And Dershowitz in no way cooperates with any investigation of the crimes allegedly committed by himself,Epstein the donor class and the individuals chosen for blackmail. And prosecutors have been corrupted to avoid indictment.

ALAN MORTON DERSHOWITZ will be 88 years old on September 1. Apparently the FBI has never chosen to even interview him He has consciously obstructed production of evidence illuminating the history of what he and his partner Jeffrey Epstein did together and separately for more than a decade. Acting amorally and of course unethically, he covered up the sexual rapes of 1000 (AG Pam Bondi's estimate) underage Gentile children. These children were pimped out to 1) members of the "donor class", megarich men identifying as Orthodox jewish but like Dershowitz himself irreligious and likely atheistic, and 2) targets for blackmail.

Given Dershowitz's and Epstein's obsessions with the bigoted ideology of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the selection of exclusively gentile children would presumably constitute a hate crime, had Dershowitz not covered up the evidence and corruptly influenced prosecutors. Be aware however. The crimes for which Dershowitz has been accused by multiple victims and his complicity in the rapes Ehud Barack and scores of thus far protected pedophile/hebophiles are not subject to any Statute of Limitatiions.

The Epstein-Dershowitz child rape evidence is covered up by intimidation, according to some victims, physical and social threats and assaults aimed clearly to cause the child victims. fear and feelings of isolation as written in Virginia Giuffre's autobiography. The cover up is enforced by a pile of non-disclosure agreements silencing Epstein-Dershowitz co-conspirators, witnesses and child victims, As attorney forn the Epstein Organization, Dershowitz worked with two FBI -named Epstein co-conspirtors, Indyck and Kahn, still currently executors of the Epstein Estate. When they pay out compensation to victims, for non-consensual rape committed on them as children, Indyck and Kahn require the victims sign a NDA which is added to the pile to obstruct evidence of crimes committed by Dershowitz, Epstein, Indyck, Kahn and a cast of hundreds of child rapists.

Dershowitz stated a manta repeated hundreds of times to the media that all the raped underage children were "prostitutes, liars and thieves". A lawyer is educated to know better. The kids were raped before they reached an age at which they could legally consent. Below the age of consent, no child can be a "prostitute". Despite furious personal attacks and incessant harassment richly funded by Epstein and the Jewish Lobby, specifically including Les Wexner's Mega Group of billionaires, Virginia maintained,despite her post traumatic stress and Dershowitz's incessant intimidations, a civil lawsuit for a decade, over and over specifically identifying Dershowitz as the child rapist. Her credibility is attested to by her success in getting a settlement for 17.5 million dollars from Prince Andrew, another pedo/hebophile. To pay up, Andrew had to sell his Swiss chalet and borrow most of the payment from his doting mother. Up to and including the day of her death, Virginia NEVER EXONERATED DERSHOWITZ from the allegations of underage nonconsensual rape.
