Alan Dershowitz
Alan Dershowitz is one of the few lawyers, who clearly stand out of the crowd. Alan has earned the reputation of being a lawyer who ‘turned the tables completely’ in few high profile cases that he argued for. One such famous case was that of ‘Clause Von Bulow’. Most of the cases that he took up ended with successful results.
Dershowitz recently visited New Zealand as a guest of Minter Ellison and the Raye Freedman Trust. He gave a fascinating interview to Radio New Zealand. Click the media player below to listen. Enjoy.
Other than just sticking to his routine of appearing at courts for his various clients, Alan has also voiced his opinions about various social and political issues plaguing the world. He has penned dozens of books over the years, where he has spoken about problems such as the Israel-Palestine hostility, cruelty towards animals, and hypocrisies which have existed in the world for ages.
He has written hundreds of articles for various Newspapers such as ‘The Wall Street Journal’, ‘The New York Times Magazine’ and ‘Huffington Post’, with the content ranging from academic issues to terrorism. Alan has been often invited by many universities to address their students. Even after almost five decades of judicial service, Alan continues to lend his opinions in matters of legal concern.
Dershowitz certainly was interesting.
In the interview at about 11 min 45 seconds, he bemoans how bad and Corrupt the American Judges are. . .
Then at 29 min 50 seconds, he is saying that his friend of 50 years should not be indicted for Corruption because many other politicians do it. . . Netanyahu traded Law Making for getting good treatment in a newspaper. . .
Dershowitz argues for the Normalisation of Corruption in Israel.
And he pretends that he is a lawyer.
Then there was his “Editing” a “Quote” by Irans Ahmadinijad. . .
Ahmadinijad said that Iran had the right to use Peaceful Nuclear Technology. . .
After filtering through the Dershowitz lie machine, it was changed to be that Ahmadinijad said that Iran had the right to Nuclear weapons. A seeming attempt to ramp up a nuclear confrontation with Iran. . .
So. I had booked in for his talk on the 14th. . .
But when I found out the truth about Dershowitz, I didn”t wasre my time going to listen to a Liar and a Palgerist.
