Dershowitz Finally Ditches Democrats: Why a Lifelong Liberal Is Fed Up with the Party of “Tolerance”
When Alan Dershowitz, one of the most famous legal minds of our time, openly criticizes the Democratic Party, you know things have gone completely off the rails. This is a man who has defended liberal causes for decades, rubbing elbows with the elite of the left. But after years of watching the party he once loved spiral into a dumpster fire of anti-Israel sentiment, censorship, and endless Trump derangement, even he has had enough.
Dershowitz isn’t your typical Democrat critic. This isn’t some “blue dog” Democrat moving right with the times. Dershowitz has stood firm in his principles—supporting Israel, defending civil liberties, and sticking to facts over feelings.
But over the last few years, even he couldn’t stomach what the Democratic Party had become. He fought to save it from the inside, hoping that reason and moderation might prevail. But it turns out, sanity is in short supply in today’s Democratic Party.
Alan Dershowitz has long been at odds with his own party. His defense of Donald Trump during both impeachment trials raised plenty of eyebrows, but Dershowitz made it clear—he was defending the Constitution and the law, not the man. Despite backlash from the left, he stayed in the Democratic Party, hoping to moderate it from within. Well, that hope has officially run out.
Dershowitz Reaches His Breaking Point
From Fox News:
“It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I’ve experienced. I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted.”
It was the Democratic National Convention that finally pushed Dershowitz to his breaking point. He didn’t mince words, calling it the most anti-Israel event he’d ever witnessed. For someone who has spent his life defending Israel and Jewish causes, this was the final straw. The Democratic Party of 2024 has become a safe haven for radicals who openly despise Israel and its right to exist.
And let’s not pretend this is an isolated incident. The Democratic Party has been cozying up to anti-Israel sentiment for years. We’ve all seen how Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the rest of the “progressive” squad have remained silent, or worse, defended those who openly criticize Israel. So, when Dershowitz says he’s disgusted, it’s not hard to see why.
Leaving the Party, But Not Giving Up on Principles
More from Fox News:
“I am no longer a Democrat. I am an Independent,” he added, noting that he wouldn’t reveal whom he was voting for president until possibly after Nov. 1. “I want to see how they deal with Iran. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel.”
And just like that, Dershowitz made it official—he’s out. He’s no longer a Democrat and has now declared himself an Independent. What’s most telling, though, is that he hasn’t yet said who he’ll vote for in 2024. He’s waiting to see how each candidate deals with Iran and whether they’ll support Israel. For someone who has been a lifelong Democrat, that’s a damning indictment of the current state of the party.
The Democratic Party’s drift away from supporting Israel has been gradual, but it’s become unmistakable. Now, they’re cozying up to radicals who would rather see Israel erased than defended. Dershowitz, ever the scholar, knows this, and it’s why he’s taking a wait-and-see approach on 2024. But if Biden’s weak foreign policy and Kamala Harris’s empty promises are any indication, he won’t be coming back to the Democrats anytime soon.
A Major Loss for the Democrats, But They Don’t Care
You would think losing someone as prominent as Dershowitz would make the Democratic Party stop and reflect. But let’s be real—they won’t. The party has fully embraced the woke mob, and anyone who dares to question the new orthodoxy is cast aside. Losing someone like Dershowitz, who has fought for liberal causes for decades, should be a wake-up call. Instead, it’s just more proof that the Democrats have gone so far left they can’t even see the middle anymore.
Republicans, meanwhile, are standing by, ready to welcome anyone tired of the radical left’s stranglehold on the Democratic Party. If even Alan Dershowitz—the liberal of liberals—says he’s had enough, what does that say about where the party is heading?
Key Takeaways:
- Alan Dershowitz, a lifelong Democrat, has left the party over its anti-Israel direction.
- He is now an Independent, and his 2024 vote will depend on candidates’ foreign policies.
- The Democratic Party’s radical shift continues to alienate moderate voices.
