<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">A</span></b><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">lan Dershowitz, a prominent advocate for Israel, is retiring from Harvard Law School. Dershowitz Accused of War Crimes - On one issue-the Jewish
settlements in the occupied lands-Israel has {already} been found, by an international court, to be in violation of international law. This has caused a firestorm of reaction from Israel, and its apologists, like Harvard's Alan Dershowitz. But, Francis Boyle
and a number of other American human rights advocates have taken on Dershowitz on, and are ready to do it again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The settlements are "clearly illegal and criminal," said Boyle. "All the settlements, as the World Court ruled in the advisory opinion on the [Separation] Wall, all these settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention,
and a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention is a war crime. All these so-called settlers are committing war crimes, except the children, who are obviously not old enough to formulate a criminal intent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"Indeed, Alan Dershowitz began attacking the World Court for this ruling and attacking their credibility, and this, that, and the other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"Well, Dershowitz is not a trained international lawyer; he's not a trained human rights lawyer. I debated him once, and he sort of gratuitously conceded that I was the expert on these subjects. "But in any event, what
Dershowitz was not aware of, was that in the advisory committee proceedings, the American judge, Thomas Buergenthal, {who is a<br>
Holocaust survivor, himself}, joined the ruling-he dissented against a lot of other things by the World Court [International Court of Justice]-but Judge Buergenthal ruled that the settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention. And to Judge Buergenthal's
credit-I've known him for many years; I have a lot of respect and admiration for him-he made this ruling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"So, in other words, Dershowitz was attacking the integrity of a Holocaust survivor. But of course, that doesn't surprise me: He attacked [Prof.] Norman Finkelstein's mother; he also attacked Prof. Israel Shahak, one
of the leaders of the peace movement in Israel, himself a Holocaust survivor, unfortunately, no longer with us, but a great man.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"I've dealt with [Shahak], I have great respect, and indeed, he was going to have a lecture tour here in the United States, in, I guess, the Fall of 1990, and he was coming to speak in Champaign, [Ill.], and the organizers
of his lecture tour asked me if I would put him up in my home as my guest, in order to conserve on expenses, and I agreed. And I was greatly looking forward again to meeting Professor Shahak.... But as you know, with the Gulf crisis, Professor Shahak decided
to cancel his lecture tour and stay home with his own people, which was certainly understandable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"Dershowitz couldn't care less. Whatever kind of outright character assassination he has to apply to anyone, even Holocaust survivors like Judge Buergenthal, Professor Shahak, Norman Finkelstein's mother, it doesn't
bother Dershowitz. Indeed, my understanding is, he's trying to run to become President of Israel, to take Peres's place. Well, fine, it would be great to get him out of Harvard Law School-my dis-alma mater!-and ship him over to Israel with all the other war
criminals over there. "In fact, I say that, because Dershowitz admitted, publicly, that he is part of a Mossad committee that authorized the assassination of Palestinians.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"You can find that article on counterpunch.org, by Prof. [Liquat Ali] Khan. Well, the Palestinians are all protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention, and for Dershowitz to authorize their murder is a war
crime. So, Dershowitz is a {prima facie} war criminal, who should be prosecuted himself.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"And there he is, teaching at the Harvard Law School, and advocating torture, crimes against humanity, war crimes against the Palestinians. As you know, he said, `Well, we should just be obliterating their villages.
You know, if they do this, there's a terror bombing here, we [should] destroy one of their villages.'<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"And, of course, Dershowitz also advocates torture here, in America. The guy's shameless.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"I remember, [when] I started [at Harvard], Dershowitz started as an assistant professor, and his first big case was defending a pornographic film star in `Deep Throat.' Dershowitz likes to present himself as some great
defender of the First Amendment.... Well, as Catherine McKinnon has, I think, taught us all, pornography is a form of violence against women: It's a human rights matter. So, it doesn't surprise me that Dershowitz started his career defending pornographers
and pornography, and was and still is greatly proud of it-and now he moves on to defending war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and in addition, over the years, became a war criminal himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:24.0pt">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">"But the sum of it is, he's still teaching there at Harvard Law School. So, I hope he goes back to Israel and becomes President, sure! Be great to see him go: Bon voyage."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to those of us Harvard Alums who participated in good faith in the Harvard Divestment/Disinvestment Campaign against Israel when your predecessor Larry Summers accused us of being anti-Semitic-- a charge which he refused to defend against me as related below.
As a matter of fact, Harvard is so notoriously anti-Palestinian that the late, great Edward Said refused to accept Harvard's top chair in Comparative Literature when Harvard offered it to him. As a loyal Harvard alum I spent an entire evening with Edward at
a Chinese Restaurant in Manhattan trying to convince Edward to take this Chair. I thought it would be good for Harvard to have Edward teaching there. As a lawyer and a law professor, I can be quite persuasive. But Edward would have none of my arguments. As
Edward saw it, Harvard was so anti-Palestinian that Harvard would have thwarted his intellectual creativity to move there. So Edward stayed at Columbia. Of course Edward was right. And the anti-Palestinian tenor and orientation of Harvard has certainly gotten
far worse since when Edward and I were both students at Harvard. Harvard should be doing something about its own longstanding bigotry and racism against the Palestinians. Not criticizing those of us trying to help the Palestinians suffering from Israeli persecution,
war crimes, crimes against humanity, and outright genocide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">I'm not going to go through the subsequent history of the divestment/disinvestment movement, except to say that in the late summer of 2002 the
President of Harvard, Larry Summers accused those of us Harvard alumni involved in the Harvard divestment campaign of being anti-Semitic.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">After he made these charges, WBUR Radio Station in Boston, which is a National Public Radio affiliate, called me up and said: "We would like you
to debate Summers for one hour on these charges, live." And I said, "I'd be happy to do so." They then called up Summers and he refused to debate me.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Summers did not have the courage, the integrity, or the principles to back up his scurrilous charges. Eventually Harvard fired Summers because
of his attempt to impose his Neo-Conservative agenda on Harvard, and in particular his other scurrilous charge that women are dumber than men when it comes to math and science. Well as a Harvard alumnus I say: Good riddance to Larry Summers! (laughter).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">WBUR then called me back and said, "Well, since Summers won't debate you, would you debate Alan Dershowitz?" And I said, "Sure." So we had a debate
for one hour, live on the radio. And there is a link that you can hear this debate if you want to. I still think it's the best debate out there on this whole issue of Israeli apartheid. Again that would be WBUR Radio Station, Boston, 25 September 2002.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">The problem with the debate, of course, is that Dershowitz knows nothing about international law and human rights. So he immediately started out
by saying "well, there's nothing similar to the apartheid regime in South Africa and what Israel is doing to the Palestinians."
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Well the problem with that is that Dershowitz did not know anything at all about even the existence of the Apartheid Convention. That is our second

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">And this is taken from my book Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law, Trial Materials on South Africa, published in 1987, that we
used successfully to defend anti-apartheid resistors in the United States. If you take a look at the definition of apartheid here found in Article 2, you will see that Israel has inflicted each and every act of apartheid set out in Article 2 on the Palestinians,
except an outright ban on marriages between Israelis and Palestinians. But even there they have barred Palestinians living in occupied Palestine who marry Israeli citizens from moving into Israel, and thus defeat the right of family reunification that of course
the world supported when Jews were emigrating from the Soviet Union. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Again you don't have to take my word for it. There's an excellent essay today on Counterpunch.org by the leading Israeli human rights advocate
Shulamit Aloni saying basically: "Yes we have an apartheid state in Israel." Indeed, there are roads in the West Bank for Jews only.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Palestinians can't ride there and now they're introducing new legislation that Jews cannot even ride Palestinians in their cars.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">This lead my colleague and friend Professor John Dugard who is the U.N. Special rapporteur for human rights in Palestine to write an essay earlier
this fall that you can get on Google, saying that in fact Israeli apartheid against the Palestinians is worse than the apartheid that the Afrikaners inflicted on the Blacks in South Africa. Professor Duguard should know.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">He was one of a handful of courageous, white, international lawyers living in South Africa at the time who publicly and internationally condemned
apartheid against Blacks at risk to his own life. Indeed, when I was litigating anti-apartheid cases on South Africa, we used Professor Duguard's book on Human Rights and the South African Legal Order as the definitive work explaining what apartheid is all
about. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">So Professor Duguard has recently made this statement. Of course President Carter has recently made this statement in his book that Israel is
an apartheid state. And certainly if you look at that definition of the Apartheid Convention, right there in front of you, it's clear - there are objective criteria. Indeed if you read my Palestinian book I have a Bibliography at the end with the facts right
there based on reputable human rights reports, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc. Many of them were also compiled and discussed by my friend Professor Norman Finklestein in his book Beyond Chutzpah, which I'd encourage you to read.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.0in">The ACLU has come out foursquare against the bipartisan, bicameral, AIPAC-supported "anti-Israel boycott bill," that would impose criminal penalties for advocating for a "boycott of Israel," on Constitutional,
free speech grounds. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:2.0in">
Consistent with past AIPAC-supported Congressional efforts along this line, "boycott Israel" is defined to mean, "including settlements in the West Bank," i.e. this bill is expressly aimed at European policies that distinguish between "Israel" and "the settlements." <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.0in">Here's a write-up in the Intercept. They interview bill sponsors and ask them, did you know the ACLU is against this bill? And the sponsors are like, really? I had no idea there were free speech issues with this
bill. I just signed up to "support Israel." I mean, don't expect me to actually know what's in the bills I co-sponsor if that's what AIPAC told me to do. <o:p></o:p></p>
