Dershowitz Contradicts Himself on the Power of the Israel Lobby

My generaton of Jews was too young to fight against Nazism or for Israeli independence, too American to make aliyah (emigrate to Israel), too comfortable to put our bodies on the line for anything Jewish. Instead, we observed, contributed… We became part of what is perhaps the most effective lobbying and fund-raising effort in the history of democracy.

Its a wonder how Dershowitz has any credibility left.

Wonderful place. Their endowment is tiny...and they're so out there left I wonder if even a boycott by PEP's can hurt them much. We'll see. It's not the kind of place to hop to it and get in line.</p> My sister went to Hampshire. Wonderful place.
