Alan Dershowitz quote: "I love the Bible."
I love the Bible. Alan Dershowitz
I came from a poor family, so working and going to school at the same time was natural. It taught me multi-tasking, although we didn't call it that back then. I learned I could never be idle, I need to be doing many things at once. Alan Dershowitz
Alan Dershowitz quote: "I think extremists within the base may very well move the..."
I think extremists within the base may very well move the Democratic party away from its pro-Israel position. Alan Dershowitz
Alan Dershowitz quote: "Well, first of all, no professor should be able to say, I..."
Well, first of all, no professor should be able to say, I refuse to defend my position. I refuse to debate my position. Alan Dershowitz
I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it; also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right. Alan Dershowitz
You can't think about terrorism without thinking about Palestinian terrorism. Palestinians began international terrorism. It started with them in 1968. They used it as the first resort, not the last resort. They invented it, they perfected it, they benefited from it and they taught the world how to use it and that it would be successful. Alan Dershowitz
Alan Dershowitz quote: "I was a Jewish rabbinical student for 12 years, and studied..."
I was a Jewish rabbinical student for 12 years, and studied the Bible all the time. Alan Dershowitz
I understand that it's good tactics to categorize me as a close-minded, unobjective extremist, but nobody that respects me has those views. Alan Dershowitz
I am deeply concerned that, without peace and a two-state solution, the Jewish and democratic nature of Israel is in danger. That's why I have opposed Israel's settlement policy since 1973, and that's why I have favored a two-state solution since 1967. Alan Dershowitz
You know, it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools, because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example, the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday, not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested, not because Jesus was resurrected. Alan Dershowitz
When I was 14 or 15, a camp counselor told me I was smart. I had never been very good in school, but he told me once that I was smart but my mind operated a little differently. Alan Dershowitz
I was critical of race-based affirmative action early on in my career and I've changed my mind. And I've publicly acknowledged that I was wrong. Alan Dershowitz
No country in the history of the world has ever contributed more to humankind and accomplished more for its people in so brief a period of time as Israel has done since its relatively recent rebirth in 1948. Alan Dershowitz
I tell my students, if you ever become comfortable with your role as criminal defense lawyer, it's time to quit. It should be a constant source of discomfort, because you're dealing with incredible moral ambiguity, and you've been cast into a role which is not enviable. Alan Dershowitz
I think most defense attorneys honestly believe the principle that says, 'Better 10 guilty go free than even one possibly innocent person be convicted.' Alan Dershowitz
