Dershowitz: Rep. Omar Is ‘Anti-American’ and Her Attack on Israel Is an Attack on America

‘We know Americans overwhelming support Israel because Israel is a democracy’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar sparking backlash again for anti-Semitic comments igniting a Twitter feud over the weekend with fellow Democrat from New York Nita Lowey after suggesting politicians were being forced to quote 'pledge allegiance to Israel.' Congresswomen Lowey firing back Sunday tweeting, 'I believe we can debate important policy without using offensive, painful stereotypes.' This latest feud comes less than a month after Omar was called out for writing, quote, 'It’s all about the Benjamins, baby,' suggesting lawmakers are bribed to support the country of Israel. Here to weigh in is Harvard Law School emeritus professor and author of 'The Case Against Impeaching Trump' Alan Dershowitz. Alan, good morning to you."
DERSHOWITZ: "Good morning."
DOOCY: "What’s going on here?"
DERSHOWITZ: "Well, she is very anti-American. Put aside the anti-Israel. She is so anti-American. She accuses American members of Congress, men and women, Jewish, Christian, she accuses them essentially of doing it for the money. We know that Americans overwhelmingly support Israel because Israel is a democracy, it’s America’s strongest ally in the Middle East. It's only country in the Middle East that America can always count on. You never know who is going to be ahead of Egypt next month, you never know what's going to happen in other countries. But you know that no matter who is elected in Israel, they are going to be very supportive of America, that will exchange intelligence information, military information, and her attack on supporters of Israel is an attack on America.”
