Alan Dershowitz just switched his party registration to Republican after 67 years as a Democrat, and his reason for the switch is Israel. According to Mediaite, the longtime Harvard Law professor and former Jeffrey Epstein lawyer announced his decision in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, saying he could no longer support a party he believes has become “the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history.”
It’s a dramatic shift for someone who campaigned for John F. Kennedy as a college student and has spent decades as a fixture in Democratic politics. Dershowitz didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Democratic Party’s stance on Israel. He pointed to a recent Senate vote on a weapons embargo, where all but seven Democrats supported the measure, as proof that the party had abandoned its traditional support for the country.
