Reply To: Alan Dershowitz and Others Speak Truth

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“Palestinians have learned the political value of invoking human rights rhetoric.

Indeed, Former U.S. State Department(*) official Alan Keyes has argued
that by changing the terms of the Mideast debate from
a political issue between Israel and the Arab states
into a human rights complaint by [allegedly] occupied Palestinians,
the PLO has won an undeserved political and diplomatic advantage.

Palestinian political organizations now present themselves
as human rights organizations, and the media fall for it.”
