Jews made America great so ‘we deserve our influence’ on Israel policy, Dershowitz tells Scarsdale synagogue

Alan Dershowitz gave a pep talk on Jewish influence to an orthodox audience in Scarsdale Tuesday night. It was his crowd, and he really is a rock star. The suburban lanes were filled with cars and older yarmulke-wearing Jews streaming toward the synagogue like Woodstock. We were half a million strong! Four hundred anyway, but Jews punch above their weight.
That was Dershowitz’s theme: We earned our influence in this country by contributing more to its success than others– so now use your influence!
Dershowitz held forth for 50 minutes before he had to sign books and head to CNN. The crowd was on their feet at beginning and end. Dershowitz started out with self-effacing humor. At his yeshiva in Brooklyn he was a terrible student. The head of the school said Dershowitz, what are we going to do with you. You have to find a job where you don’t have to think and you just run your mouth. You could be a lawyer. Or a conservative rabbi. The man couldn’t even say the word Reform, Dershowitz said. By his last year he was suing the school (for an arbitrary rule on who could apply for NY state scholarships; he won).

The best quotes are about outsize Jewish influence and how we’re entitled to it because we made America great. #8 and #11 below. “We have to hit them in the pocketbook. Don’t ever ever be embarrassed about using Jewish power.”

1. It’s getting harder to support Israel.
Dershowitz didn’t start out as Israel’s lawyer, but then the left turned on Israel after the Six Day War. Early on, the left loved Israel because the Soviet Union was its supporter. Only Republicans didn’t like Israel, the State Department, Eisenhower, the oil men.
Israel was very easy to defend. Boy have things changed dramatically over the last 50 years…. The two people who got me engaged really deeply were the Reverend Daniel Berrigan– he was an unbelievable anti-Semite, a real bigot, he called Israel a criminal community of Jews, he said that Jews had to choose between supporting Israel and supporting civil liberties, he was an evil evil man [Read this (http://mondoweiss.net/2016/09/berrigans-prophecy-becoming/) to see the real Berrigan]–
And Noam Chomsky. I had befriended him, I had worked with him against the Vietnam war. And suddenly he’s turning against Israel. When the far left turned against Israel,
I would become… somebody who could make the liberal case for Israel. That has become harder and harder to do. The demographics are clear. Republicans now support Israel much more strongly than Democrats.

Dersh said Chomsky had been his camp counselor at Jewish camp as a boy.

2. The importance of the Israel lobby.
Israel must always remain a bipartisan issue. We never want to see Israel become a referendum issue in an election. Why? We could lose! … Who could have predicted the outcome of the last election. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Republican Jews have to keep the Buchanans out of that party, and Democrats have to defeat the Bernie Sanderses and Keith Ellisons. As for Ellison, “He thinks I’m the one who defeated his candidacy [for party chair]. I hope he’s right.” I wonder if that is true, or Dershowitzian BS.

3. Bernie Sanders.
The other day on al Jazeera Sanders made a strong case of defense (http://mondoweiss.net/2017/05/sanders-defensive-slamming/) for Israel. Sanders is a strange guy. It’s very hard to figure out what his politics are… He’s a decent man. His support for Israel is not deep and it’s opportunistic sometimes.

Arrogant Dershowitz discussing how Jews influence media. Guess it's okay when he says it. :rolleyes:



"People say Jews are too powerful. We're too strong. We're too rich. We control the media."

***

"And we, often, apologetically deny our strength and our power. Don't do that. Don't do that. We have earned the right to influence public debate. We have earned the right to be heard. We have contributed disproportionately to the success of this country."

Well, Alex Jones tells me it is the Islamic, wahhabi Muslims controlling the media in this country. Why should I believe the OP, Alan Dershowitz, Milo Y and many other who have noticed this?

Are you saying Alex Jones is a shill and/or controlled opposition?
