Alan Dershowitz was denied a pierogi at Marthas Vineyards Good Pierogi. When he returned accusing the owners (one of whom is Jewish) of antisemitism, patronsincluding Jewspushed back. As he kept haranguing, the crowd chanted: Time to go!
Important context:
The co-owner of Good Pierogi is Krem Miskevich - who is Jewish & has immediate family in Israel.
Source: IG
Krem uses they/them pronouns.
They were protesting against Dershowitz's representation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein - among other such offenders like Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Krem & another Jewish member of the company protested against the Jewish Culture Festival in West Tisbury due to "the funders and performers of the event whove demonstrated support for the Israel Defense Forces."
MV Times
They were NOT protesting the event because its identity. They were protesting the festival's connection to the IOF, who are committing genocide in Gaza.
Dershowitz falsely claimed Krem was protesting this event because of antisemitism.
Dershowitz also repeatedly misgendered Krem, one of the co-owners of Good Pierogi - even after being alerted to the fact he was doing so.

(69,397 posts)He's been complaining for years that he's being given the cold shoulder on Martha's Vineyard.
This is his latest hissy fit.
The simple fact is that most people don't want to be associated with friends of Jeffrey Epstein. Dershowitz admitted that he visited Epstein's island. He has lame excuses for what he did there. He's fortunate not to be charged with sex crimes against children.

(69,397 posts)My impression is that it wasn't received well.
That's seriously disturbing, especially in the Epstein context.

He may have my pierogi when I'm done with it.
