“I am no longer presumptively voting for Democrats,” Dershowitz said in an interview with Just the News. “I’m gonna vote for whoever is the best candidate, [and] that may include Democrats, but I have no loyalty anymore to the party.”

He criticized the party for not being vocal about the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University and expressed disappointment with the lack of response from Democrats, including President Joe Biden and Sen. Chuck Schumer.

“We’re hearing nothing from Democrats,” he said. “We are hearing nothing from Chuck Schumer. We’re hearing nothing really direct from President Biden. He made a very disappointing statement. In the same breath, he talked about the demonstrators in passing, and he said: ‘But you have to understand the Palestinian situation.’ No, you don’t have to understand the Palestinian situation when people are calling for rape and murder and beheading. The Democrats are an extraordinary disappointment.”

Dershowitz also criticized college admissions and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies, asserting that these contribute to the problems being seen at the elite universities. He claims that many of the protesting students were admitted to the schools due to DEI and foreign funding rather than their academic qualifications.

Dershowitz expressed concern that students who are likely to become our leaders in the future are out there chanting pro-Hamas slogans. He interprets that as an endorsement of violence and crime. Moreover, he fears what these attitudes may lead to in the future.

“We’re hearing the future leaders of America chanting ‘We are Hamas.’ In other words, ‘We are rapists. We believe in raping Jewish women. We are beheaders. We are kidnappers. We are murderers.’ That’s what they’re chanting,” he warned. “And these are people who will run for Congress in 10 years from now, who will be partners at law firms, and who will be working in the editorial rooms of CNN, and The New York Times. And these are people who have the worst values. You say they’re kids; well, they’re kids — so was Hitler Youth! Remember who brought Hitler to power: students at the University of Munich.”
