Talking with Alan Dershowitz
Lawyer blames Obama for falling out with Bibi
Some years ago, Bibi Netanyahu was chatting with the noted criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz in Israel. He took him aside and asked, in a whisper, “So, did O.J. do it?”
Dershowitz, now retired from Harvard Law School, had joined O.J. Simpson’s defense team after Simpson’s wife was murdered and O.J. was charged with her death.
The lawyer thought about Bibi’s question, then responded, also in a whisper, “Tell me. Does Israel have nuclear weapons?”
Although he’s been friendly with both men, Dershowitz — who calls himself a Zionist — is foursquare behind Netanyahu in his feud with President Barack Obama.
In a recent telephone interview with this newspaper, Dershowitz explained why he sides with Netanyahu — and answered such questions as “Why do lawyers have such a bad a reputation?” And “Would he have defended so evil a man as the Nazi physician Josef Mengele? … Or the convicted Soviet spies, the Rosenbergs?”
