Biden deliberately enabled Iran which in turn funded Hamas, resulting in the 10/7/23 massacre of Jews. Even now Biden is sending $millions to "Palestinians" (Hamas) via the UNRWA and also directly. So the "red line" has already been crossed about as many times as the Mexico-USA border.

I am appalled that Biden has kept necessary armaments from being deployed to Israel as was already previously allotted.

—Also appalled that Senator Chuck Schumer, no dummy like some in the executive branch, has withheld his unequivocal support for Israel. Is it all about reelection? —If you can’t beat the progressives, join them? He could project real power if he took a stand.

I am sick of this pretend Jew. He has thousands of years of his background and he ignored his ancestry. It’s one thing to be an Arab praiser if you really don’t understand the true struggles, but for a man in power who is supposed to be a Jew turns out to be a betrayer, there’s a special place in Hell for those souls.

Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar and Iran made huge donations to Universities for establishing and funding the likes of Mid-East Studies. Providing the professors and lecturers and campus activities that were anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. Someone needs to look into what was being indoctrinated in those classes.

I’ve always thought Obama was chosen to bring in Islam to the USA. I’m not even sure if who he says he is is even the truth. From the first time I saw him running for President I had an uneasy sick feeling in my gut and I was correct. All he had to do was say he was black to get the job. No we have racial issues and it’s against whites now and we also have pro Muslim and a whole state of Muslims. America needs to get smart and ban Islam and Shira law here in the USA. All Muslims here need to be sent back to the ME too. If not they will take over

Could I write "Jessica's comment is just ignorant", ? Perhaps not not anything about racist implications of her comment , On the positive side, I suppose she might have learned all this from Dershowitz and might even be quoting Dershowitz ..

"I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem," Biden said.

Professor Dershowitz, I’ve heard you say several times that the number of civilians being killed by Israel in Gaza is very small in comparison to other conflicts. I don’t doubt you, but do you have sources I can point to when discussing the issue to others? Always find your podcast insightful.

I appreciate that you are honest enough to point out that Trump is being railroaded with all these law fare cases. I don’t remember your exact words but yesterday I heard you say something to the effect that that Kennedy and Fetterman were the only people running (?) that support Israel. Why not Trump? He’s the only President that has actually done what he said he would do for Israel. The two you mentioned have only verbally supported Israel, whereas Trump accomplished things.

Despite American citizenship and the enormous benefits living in America has facilitated for Dershowitz, he remains a one issue person with one primary loyalty: ISRAEL. Israel is no strategic ally for America. Israel has only been a burden since the sixties when America overtook from France the role of Israel's shield, weapons supplier and welfare office aiming to provide viability to israel by means of a better standard of living than some American States while allowing Israel to become the neighborhood bully under the pretense of maintaining Israeli security. Now Dershowitz is even relatively uninterested in American Constitutional issues because the all-consuming love of his life in his post-Epstein years is ISRAEL. Most of us in passionate love are capable of finding faults with what we love (boyfriends and girlfriends being perfect examples) and do not try to hide them. Not Dershowitz. The ICJ finds that Israel has violated Palestinians' rights to be protected from genocide.

The Dershow has proclaimed all along and after the verdict that "there are no innocents in Gaza", thereby justifyng genocide as well as underscoring his ignorance of International Humanitarian Law For Dershowitz,. He has not explicity refashioned the old Wyonming Homesteader motto but clearly implies its motivation: "The only good Palerstinan is a dead one, or at least one forced to move. maybe to New York." Dershow has headlined repeatedly "Israel has never broken internatronal law", disregarding the ICJ verdict and showing clear ignorance of Israeli history ( the Lavon Affair, Operation Apollo, the bombing of the USS Liberty, killing 67 American sailors, settling Jews in the West Bank and Gaza post1967 and fill a book with more examples). For a person so passionate about Israel, Dershowitz actually knows little about her. presumably he loves the idea of Israel rather than the actual country.

But we have a historic development TODAY. . For the first time in its history, AIPAC has suffered a major defeat, hopefully its Stalingrad or Kursk. Joe Biden is stopping arms shipments to Israel following a State Department investigation issued yesterday finding that Israel has used American weapons to target Palestinian civilians. This is "diplomatise" for saying Israel has committed human rights violations made possiblr only by a constant stream of American weapons. Biden's unexpected and pioneering stand against ISRAEL is a new Declaration of Independence, stating that Americans rather than foreign agents shall control American policy-making. Senator Jacky Rosen received USD 1 million from AIPAC since January 2023 according to Open Secrets, the election watchdog.. What will she do now to earn that million?

Of course they are. That was their intent all along. That funding bill should never have been passed.

Biden doesn't do anything original. He is simply continuing to twist the knife that was placed in the back of Israel by Obama !!

I support Israel's right to exist, but I also warned you post October 7th, back when you were so gung ho about flattening gaza that this is precisely what would happen.

You run the risk of alienating friends, and even threatening the Jewish state.

1. The neo marxists don't support Israel. And if you haven't noticed, they control almost all universities. It's no longer a "fringe" movement.

2. Because they control universities, they control impressionable minds. Students thar have been taught that you are the oppressor. And btw, one doesn't even need to know you're a jew because your white skin is sufficient to be an oppressor.

3. Republicans don't like giving foreign aid, by and large, because it's a taxpayer hand out. Poor and corrupt countries like Ukraine embezzel the "aid" and rich countries like Israel don't need us to give weapons and aid. They're perfectly capable of buying them. It irritates fiscal conservatives.

4. MAGA also gets irritated with the incessant crying. Jewish people scream antisemetism if you argue with them at all. They demand total obedience to their view, or they label peoplle a crazed anti-semite. They throw it around so often, and cry so loud, that people end up getting censored. One cannot even make a joke about jews without some crybaby screaming antisemite. It's so over the top that it alienates everyone.

I firmly believe that Israel has the right to remove hamas from the equation, but let us be open and honest about why elements of both parties get irriated by the Jewish situation in the middleeast. Your actions (not every jew, but many) dont help "win friends". It just alienates everyone.

The so-called relationship between America and Israel is pretty one-sided. We send money, you say thanks. Maybe Israel should stop asking for handouts. You want a gun made in america, then buy it. You're not poor.

The oxymoron of the day:

Joe Biden and Blinken offering, "Intelligence," to Israel if they do not attack Rafah.

Mr. Dershowitz, really admire your many recent stances and perspective that are not popular to your friends on the left.

Your words with Breitbart -

It *does* seem “conspiratorial (theory)”… but do you have a good explanation for Obama and the original JCPOA? Do you believe that this Obama left really wants to slow Iran’s quest for the Bomb?

Could it be Obama et.al. are (boldly) anti-American and pro-Iran and want to preserve Obama’s 2nd term “legacy”? (And want to prove their superiority over the “saber-rattling cowboys”?)

Professor, “What were they thinking?” You ask this about the administration that orchestrated the horror show of our withdrawal from Afghanistan? President Biden, Mr. Blinken et al lost my respect there. I fully support Israel’s right to defend itself after another horror show—October 7, 2023. Israel should ignore the pathetic waffling and pandering of the White House. The misuse of the word “genocide” disgusts me.
