Reply To: Alan Dershowitz and Others Speak Truth

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“It is true that the American legal system derives much
of its content from the Old Testament [Tanach]…

When we were growing up, my friends and I would take
great pride in discovering the Jewish sources of American laws,
such as: the privilege against self-incrimination,
the requirement of two witnesses for certain types of crime,
and the very idea that punishment
must be proportionate to the crime committed.”
