Dershowitz also attacked Kamala Harris for not being present when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed lawmakers in July.

Lifelong Democrat and famed attorney Alan Dershowitz left the party this week, citing what he said were openly anti-Semitic elements at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month. During a conversation with radio host Zev Brenner on the YouTube-streamed program Talkline, Dershowitz said he had been considering leaving the party and his breaking point came when he was heard hear pro-Hamas and “anti-Jewish” rhetoric outside of the United Center. Dershowitz said some of the anti-Jewish hatred came from inside the convention from Democratic lawmakers. “They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with AOC – a miserable, anti-zionist bigot,” he said. “Then of course they had Liz Warren who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”
“I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention,” he said. “Absolutely disgusted.” [...] “I am no longer a Democrat,” Dershowitz shot back. “I am an independent. I will decide who to vote for at the last minute based on the totality of the circumstances. I want to see how they deal with Iran, I want to see how they deal with Iran’s attacks on the United States, I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel. So I’m not revealing my vote until maybe November 1. I need to hear all the information, all the evidence, but I am no longer a member of the Democratic Party.”
Appearing on the August 23rd, 2024 edition of Talkline Network's Talkline With Zev Brenner, DINO and Israel Apartheid State supporter Alan Dershowitz announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming independent.
Dershowitz has long hinted in recent years about leaving the Democratic Party, due to the fact that he has regularly defended Donald Trump's legal foibles and the party's increasingly pro-Palestinian turn.
