Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz took aim at President Joe Biden’s recent remarks regarding Israel’s commitment to “upholding democratic values” during a Newsmax appearance on Wednesday. Dershowitz asserted that Biden’s criticism of Israel, suggesting it may not be a democracy, lacked understanding and was, in his view, nonsensical.

Speaking on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” Dershowitz said. “Biden didn’t know what he was talking about when he criticized Israel, perhaps for not being a democracy. It’s idiotic.

“Israel is the greatest democracy in the Middle East — one of the greatest democracies in the world, as evidenced by the fact that they have protests every week against judicial reform. B, Israelis are protesting [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] being here right now and urging Biden not to see him. That’s how democratic Israel is.”

During his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday, President Biden underscored the robust and unshakable bond between the United States and Israel. He described this relationship as “ironclad” before framing a question about Israel’s “democratic values” as a vital topic for discussion among the “challenging issues” at hand.

“We’re going to discuss some of the hard issues, that is upholding democratic values that lie at the heart of our partnership, including the checks and balances in our systems,” Biden said, reading from a prepared statement.
