Dershowitz: I helped keep Carter silent

Why didn't Jimmy Carter speak from the podium at the Democratic
National Convention? Alan Dershowitz said he had something to do with
it.

In an interview with Shalom TV, the Harvard Law School professor says
he "pushed" Barack Obama "very hard to make that decision," Dershowitz
said in an interview with Shalom TV. "Barack Obama had to make a
choice between his Jewish supporters and his anti-Israel supporters
like Jimmy Carter, and he did not choose Jimmy Carter. And that was an
embarrassment for Jimmy Carter and a show of disrespect."

"It was a good decision, a wise decision, a moral decision,"
Dershowitz added.

Carter did appear in the convention hall after a video of the former
prersident helping with Katrina relief was shown at the Denver
gathering. But he did not make any remarks from the podium.

In the interview, Dershowitz also said he believes that Obama's
support in the pro-Palestinian community could make it easier to
advance the peace process.

"The fact that there are some in the pro-Palestinian community who
like him may be a positive thing -- that he can reach out to both
communities and be an honest broker who, without compromising Israel's
security, can facilitate a kind of peace that will be both in the best
interests of Israel and the best interests of the Palestinian people,"
Dershowitz said. "I have a high level of confidence, not perfect
confidence but a high level of confidence, that he will do the right
thing."

Here's Shalom TV's press release on the interview:

DERSHOWITZ HELPED KEEP CARTER FROM SPEAKING AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Rates Obama's relations with the Jewish community as "near-perfect"
and sees Obama's standing in pro-
Palestinian community as his chance to be an "honest broker"
Disturbed by Jewish racism during election
Would decline any offer to join Obama administration


November 14, 2008 (Fort Lee, NJ) -- In an exclusive Shalom TV
interview, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz
revealed that he was among those who convinced Barack Obama to keep
Jimmy Carter from addressing the Democratic
National Convention.

"I pushed him very hard to make that decision," Dershowitz explained
in a conversation with Mark S. Golub on American Jewry's national
cable
television network. "Barack Obama had to make a choice between his
Jewish supporters and his anti-Israel supporters like Jimmy Carter,
and he did not
choose Jimmy Carter. And that was an embarrassment for Jimmy Carter
and a show of disrespect. And I'm very glad he made that decision. It
was a good
decision, a wise decision, a moral decision."

Speaking to fears among some American and Israeli Jews that Obama will
be less supportive of the State of Israel than President Bush,
Dershowitz predicted that Obama "will try to energize the peace
process." Moreover, Dershowitz sees Obama's support in the
pro-Palestinian community as an opportunity for the president-elect to
move the peace process forward.

"The fact there are some in the Pro-Palestinian community who like him
may be a positive thing--that he can reach out to both communities and
be an honest broker who, without compromising Israel's security, can
facilitate a kind of peace that will be both in the best interests of
Israel and the best interests of the Palestinian people. I have a high
level of confidence--not perfect confidence--but a high level of
confidence that he will do the right thing."

Dershowitz also acknowledged that he received thousands of emails from
Jews opposing Obama during the election campaign. While some emails
where thoughtful and expressed legitimate concerns, Dershowitz is
convinced that many were from "extreme right-wing Jews" and that some
were "out-and-out racist."

"As a Jew I was appalled by some of the racism that I saw in some of
the emails that I got," Dershowitz said. Dershowitz believes that
Obama's election will be positive for Black-Jewish relations. "I think
nothing could be better for Black-Jewish relations than the election
of Barack Obama," he observed. "Barack Obama has expressed
appreciation for the Jewish community and the role that we played in
the Civil Rights Movement, and that's a good thing because some within
the African-American community are very quick to forget that. So far,
his relations with the Jewish community have been near-perfect."
Could Dershowitz be part of an Obama administration, perhaps as
Attorney General? Dershowitz responded with a categorical, "no."
Dershowitz also said he declined a request to represent Obama on the
campaign trail, explaining, "I said I couldn't do that because I want
to keep my own independent views independent. I don't want to be a
surrogate for anybody."

Shalom TV, America's national Jewish cable network, is available in
more than twenty million homes nationwide.
