Summary
Professor Alan Dershowitz—The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard University & Author of “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process and Our Constitutional Rule of Law”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the thirty-three student organizations at Harvard University that have explicitly, and outlandishly, blamed Israel for the Hamas-led attacks on Israeli citizens. Dershowitz refers to the organizational reaction as “anger inducing”—calling for the school to release the names of the students who have now openly defended barbaric acts of terrorism against women and children. Additionally, Dershowitz wonders why it took so long for university leadership to denounce the abhorrent beliefs echoed by these organizations.

| 0:27.5 | Professor Dershowitz, thank you for joining me today. It's always a pleasure to have you on the show. |

| 0:38.3 | are the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Emeritus at Harvard University Law School. |
| 0:43.8 | I know must be truly heartbreaking to you the reaction of some of the students there at Harvard |
| 0:48.9 | Law School regarding their support of Hamas. So it isn't heartbreaking. It's anger-inducing. We're |
| 0:55.6 | fighting back. Just like the Israeli Army, we're now on the offensive. We've gotten students |
| 1:02.6 | to have their job office withdrawn. We are urging the school now to publish the names of every single |
| 1:09.2 | student who supported rape, who supported beheadings, who supported burning children alive, |
| 1:16.8 | who supported kidnapping. We want exposure. The First Amendment, the marketplace of ideas, |

| 1:28.2 | faculty member administrator who supports this barbarism so that we can hold them accountable |
| 1:35.2 | in the court of public opinion. We don't want to ban them. I'm a strong supporter of freedom of |
| 1:39.4 | speech, but freedom of speech goes both ways. So we're doing what the Israeli Army is doing. We're |
| 1:44.0 | on the offensive now. We're fighting back and we're winning. We're winning. We're getting these |
| 1:48.9 | students to withdraw these outrageous statements. We got the president of Harvard to finally |
