Just so, Professor Dershowitz; I remember your writing about the Sharansky case, and your efforts to gain his freedom. A dirty business, but with a good ending.
Americans should not travel to hostile nations. If they do so, they should be told they are on their own. I honestly didn't care about that WSJ reporter. Neither he nor any other "reporter" are worth releasing international criminals and terrorists.
Empathy from Dershowitz is reserved for Zionist Jews. He never had any empathy for the girls sexually enslaved by his buddy, idol and client Jeffrey Epstein and of course had no empathy for thge sufferibng he personally caused them, or the psychic distress he no doubt caused as he paraded around in only his underwear on the second floor of 9 East 71st St. Dershowitz is so disgusting a person, it would be better had he never lived. But since he was born,it sure is desirable that the Feds finally resuscitate that Palm Beach Police/FBI criminal investigation of his activities in the Epstein spy ring and exploiting little drugged girls and indict the creep. Dersh is unindicted because of that intelligence agency and AIPAC despite the harmhe did to those girls, apparently all of whom knew Dersh by name.
Thank you professor. I am not sure if Sharansky changed his name or restored his name to the real one.
As you know, Jews tend to give newborn names of deceased loved ones. For practicality, and, yes, safety, reasons many Jews, who live under dangerous regimes, give newborn similarly sounding names to their real ones. Hence, Moshe, or, in Russian Moysha, becomes Misha/Mikhail, Nathan- Tolya/Anatoly, Heynekh - Gena/Gennady, … Israel-Igor.
After moving to a safer society, some who know, choose to revert to their real names.
"Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden had “nothing to do with” the biggest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West since the Cold War.“
Special services carried out negotiations, not even diplomats were involved,” he said. “We had agreed to do this quietly [and diplomats] started yelling to the entire world. This should be done quietly, it’s people’s lives.” The Moscow Times.
"It's a sordid business but one that will never end as long as there are strong tyrannies willing and able to make the immoral rules that govern these sorts of prisoner exchanges."
As well as relatively weak tyrannies like the savages of Hamas. (And strong powers like the United States that weaken themselves by appeasing tyrannies.)
On the other hand, prisoner exchanges with the Soviets/Russians or the Chinese speak volumes about the worth of their societies. We get artists, intellectuals, human rights crusaders; the brave and the righteous; and they want back criminals.... this says much.

Curious if this is Sharansky’s case.

What about the case of Maria Butina? It seems like the US imprisoned her for being a Russian spy on rather flimsy charges.
