Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced his departure from the Democratic Party, citing several "anti-Jewish" lawmakers that make up the ranks of the party and the recent Democratic National Convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the party's presidential nominee. 

Speaking with radio host Zev Brenner on "Talkline with Zev Brenner," Dershowitz cited the DNC, which he said gave legitimacy to anti-Israel speakers, and anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering. 

"It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I've experienced," he said. "I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted."

"I am no longer a Democrat. I am an Independent," he added, noting that he wouldn't reveal whom he was voting for president until possibly after Nov. 1. "I want to see how they deal with Iran. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel."

The Harvard Law professor emeritus said his departure from the party was a long time coming and that he gradually resigned over time. See videos here.

Tim Walz Refuses to Blame Hamas for Attack on Israel

Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is facing criticism for failing to acknowledge that the Hamas terrorist group is responsible for the deadly attacks on Israel. 

During an interview with Michigan’s WCMU, Walz praised anti-Israel Muslims, saying that pro-Palestine protestors are “speaking out for all the right reasons.” He also criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, echoing similar remarks from President Joe Biden, who said that the Israeli leader is not doing enough to end the ongoing war. 

Well, I think first and foremost, what we saw on October 7 was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel. They have certainly, and the vice president said it, I’ve said it, have the right to defend themselves, and the United States will always stand by that. But we can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen.
