Laurence Tribe calls Dersh "a nut" for calling Dems "antisemites"

Laurence Tribe ⚖️
What a nut Dersh has become! The Democratic Party had room even for him, but he evidently needed a bigger tent to himself. Calling AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders antisemites is a new low even for Alan Dershowitz. Being proudly Jewish, I feel insulted.

Alan Dershowitz Quits Democratic Party, Slams 'Anti-Zionist' DNC
Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz has announced his departure from the Democratic Party following what he called the "most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention" he has experienced.
The lawyer and Harvard Law professor emeritus made the announcement during an appearance on the Talkline With Zev Brenner podcast shortly after the Democratic National Convention, which took place in Chicago from August 19 to August 22.
The Democratic Party has been wracked by internal conflict over the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which began on October 7 when the Palestinian militant group launched an attack on southern Israel, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking hundreds more to Gaza as hostages.
In response, Israel launched a military campaign that has killed more than 40,000 people in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.

I have to object to Newsweek attempting to push the "Dems in disarray" bullshit in the 3rd paragraph. Dems are united in seeing a ceasefire and hostage release take place. Dersh has been a nut for years now.
