Dershowitz and Israel: Cornered Rats
Description
I finally figured out why Alan Dershowitz is such a good defense lawyer. He thinks like a cornered rat.
A cornered rat, like a psychopath who has been caught, shifts into frenzied overdrive in search of an escape route. That’s what Dersh’s mind does, but in the world of legal strategems rather than the physical world. Even if the state has his client dead to rights, Dersh will put up a maniacally vicious fight, biting and clawing in search of an exit.
It would be unfair to say that there is something vaguely ratlike about Dershowitz’s physiognomy. Yet if you search Google Images for “Alan Dershowitz rat” you can’t help but notice a certain resemblance.
Comparing humans to vermin isn’t very nice. In this case, it’s an insult to vermin.
Dershowitz has been defending Israel’s slow-motion genocide of Palestine for decades. Now that the genocide is accelerating, so is Dersh’s genocide advocacy. He is currently under consideration to lead Israel’s defense against charges of genocide brought by South Africa.
Coincidentally, the day after Dersh was named as potential lead defender of genocide, his name showed up 137 times in a newly-released batch of Jeffrey Epstein papers. Compare that to Bill Clinton’s 73 mentions and Donald Trump’s four.
Previously, Dershowitz’s defense against charges of abusing sex-trafficked underage girls was “I kept my underwear on.” Now he says the only people objecting to his apparent involvement in rape, statutory rape, blackmail, and treason are “radical feminists”:
“Where are all those radical feminists when it comes to the Hamas rapes of young Jewish girls, sexual abuse, beheadings?”
That’s a classic example of the “cornered rat defense.” When the prosecution has you nailed seven ways from Sunday, start screaming outrageous lies about the imaginary crimes of your enemy, which (you claim) are much worse than your own. That’s undoubtedly the defense the ratlike lawyer will employ to defend his ten-thousand-ton rabid rat client, the genocidal pseudo-state of Israel.
Israel as Cornered Rat
Cornered rats, of course, can be dangerous. Especially ten-thousand-ton rabid ones.
That is the lesson we learned last week, as Israel was forced into a corner by several adverse developments:
*The US sent home its lead aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford., sending a message to Israel: “Sorry, we’re not going to all-out war with Iran for you.”
*The Israeli Supreme Court dealt wannabe-dictator Bibi a body blow, striking down his “no judicial review” law.
*The Economist, flagship for the Rothschild-and-friends banking empire that also controls the Israeli Supreme Court, called for Bibi’s head on a platter, saying he had “botched” the war.
*Facing the obvious fact that it can’t “defeat Hamas and free the hostages” Israel
