(The Hill) Alan M. Dershowitz - Why are there no demonstrations on behalf of the Kurds, the Chechens, the Uyghurs, the Tibetans? The answer can be summarized in one word: Jews. The enemy of these groups is not the Jews. Hence, there is little concern for their plight. If the perceived enemy of the Palestinians were not the Jews, there would be little concern for their plight as well. This was proved by the relative silence that greeted the massacre of Palestinians by Jordan during "Black September" in 1970, or the killings of Palestinian Authority leaders in Gaza during the Hamas takeover in 2007, or the 4,000 Palestinian civilians killed by Syria during that country's civil war. I support the legitimate rights of Palestinians to a peaceful state because it would be good for peace in the region and for Israel. But I refuse to prioritize it over other equally compelling claims just because Jews are on the other side. The writer is a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.2021-05-18 00:00:00Full Article
