In a controversial statement, former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz suggested that Mahmoud Khalil, an Israel protester, should be treated like Nazis due to his support for Hamas' violent actions. During an interview with Newsmax, he argued that while Khalil might deserve First Amendment protections, he embodies moral offenses that warrant public disdain. Dershowitz emphasized the importance of free speech but asserted that this does not translate into approval or sympathy for those espousing hateful ideologies. He called for Khalil to be kept away from his family as a reflection of his actions supporting violence against Israelis.
Dershowitz calls for Mahmoud Khalil to be treated similarly to Nazis, suggesting he should be separated from his family due to his support for Hamas.
Despite recognizing First Amendment rights, Dershowitz expresses contempt for Khalil, believing he should not receive support or sympathy from the public.
Dershowitz emphasizes that while one can support free speech, it does not mean they have to respect the speaker if his ideas are abhorrent.
He strongly criticizes Khalil's actions, comparing them to historical Nazi support, and believes such figures should be met with disdain and rejection.
