Since the "blowhard and buffoon" Alan Dershowitz (I here quote one of my liberal, Jewish, very pro-Israel law colleagues!) is back in the news because of his shilling for Trump–the explanation is transparent, since Dershowitz has only one criterion for any position he takes (namely, is it good for Likud)–it's worth recalling that Dershowitz has been a resolute opponent of academic freedom and freedom of expression, most notoriously in the tenure case of Norman Finkelstein at DePaul.
