Explain why you dislike him.
He's much better than Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky.
You took the words right out of my mouth! I wish there was a choice provided for "not as evil as Finkelstein and Chomsky." As wrong as Dershowitz might be, he is MUCH more pro-Israel than Finkelstein and Chomsky. Dershowitz is also extremely critical of Arafat and PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi terrorism. He's also extremely critical of Jimmy Carter.
I personally find the debate that he had with Rabbi Kahane at Boston University (
) to be the most intellectually stimulating video on the internet! As much as we might disagree with Dershowitz, I think we should at least recognize that at least he was willing to debate Rabbi Kahane. Even Kahane stated at the end of the debate that he at least respected Dershowitz for debating him instead of defaming him like so many other people did.
In contrast to that, look at the debate that Dershowitz had with Chomsky where Dershowitz was clearly a LOT more pro-Israel than Chomsky where Chomsky was very pro-PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi and got lots of applause from all the arabs in the audience every time he spoke. I loved it whenever Chomsky tried to claim that certain documents existed establishing human rights violations in Israel. Every time Chomsky did this, Dershowitz completely exposed Chomsky as being completely full of bull doodoo by stating that these documents only exist on "Planet Chomsky!" Also, take a look at the debate between Dershowitz and Finkelstein on Democracy Now where Norman did nothing but [censored] Dershowitz all over the place the entire time.
You know how Chaim always makes the point how the Republicans are really bad, but the Democrats are that much worse. I think we need to make the same distinction when it comes to Dershowitz. As wrong or as bad as he might be, Chomsky, Finkelstein, Carter, and Arafat are that much worse!
