In a move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz has officially severed ties with the Democrat Party. His decision comes on the heels of a Democratic National Convention that he describes as a disgraceful display of anti-Jewish sentiment, raising serious questions about the party’s direction and values.
Speaking candidly with radio host Zev Brenner on “Talkline with Zev Brenner,” Dershowitz did not hold back, stating, “It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I’ve experienced.” His words resonate with a growing discontent among many who feel that the party has strayed far from its roots. “I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted,” he added, highlighting the alarming shift within the party.
Now, after seemingly turning a blind eye to the anti-Israel rhetoric that has permeated the Democratic ranks, Dershowitz has made it clear: “I am no longer a Democrat. I am an Independent.”

This declaration is not just a personal choice; it reflects a broader disillusionment with a party that appears to be embracing divisive ideologies. He has indicated that he will withhold his presidential vote until after November 1, wanting to see how the current administration handles critical issues like Iran, while simultaneously urging them to support Israel.
Dershowitz’s departure was not a sudden whim; rather, it was a culmination of events that he describes as a gradual resignation from the party. “Alot of things pushed me in that direction,” he explained, pointing to Vice President Kamala Harris’s conspicuous absence during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress as a pivotal moment. This lack of support from key Democratic figures, coupled with the protest by some members who chose to skip Netanyahu’s speech, has left many questioning the party’s commitment to Israel.
The Chicago convention, however, was the final straw for Dershowitz. He specifically called out prominent figures like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, labeling them as anti-Israel. He also condemned Rev. Al Sharpton, who has faced accusations of antisemitism in the past. The presence of anti-Israel protesters outside the convention, calling for the destruction of Israel, only solidified his decision. “That’s not my party,” Dershowitz declared, underscoring the stark contrast between his values and those now represented by the Democratic Party.
As the Democratic Party grapples with internal divisions following the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, it is clear that the party’s stance on Israel and its treatment of dissenting voices is under intense scrutiny. Many Democrats have been reluctant to condemn Hamas, instead placing blame on Netanyahu for Israel’s military response. This troubling trend raises critical questions about the party’s future and its commitment to fairness and justice for all.
In a political climate rife with tension and division, Dershowitz’s departure serves as a clarion call for those who value a strong, unwavering support for Israel. Will the Democratic Party heed this warning, or will it continue down a path that alienates its traditional supporters? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the stakes have never been higher.
