Professor Alan Dershowitz tells i24NEWS: I am taking on CNN and Christiane Amanpour despite her apology to Rabbi Leo Dee
'This is part of a pattern that CNN and Amanpour have engaged in for over a decade....let's wait to hear what Amanpour says under my cross examination'
"The world is mourning Bishop Tutu, who just died the other day,” Dershowitz said. “Can I remind the world that although he did some good things, a lot of good things on apartheid, the man was a rampant antisemite and bigot?"
He added: “The man minimized the Holocaust. The man compared Israel to Nazi Germany. When we’re tearing statues of Jefferson and Lincoln and Washington, let’s not build statues to a deeply, deeply flawed man like Bishop Tutu. Let’s make sure that history remembers both the good he did and the awful bad he did as well.”
The entire concept of condemning Israel for it’s human rights record is absolute hypocrisy. Dershowitz uses the word – hijack – when he refers to the fact that Israel has the best human rights record in the world compared to every other country that is involved in conflict.
