Hot on the heals of the Palestinian election and in the wake of the cartoon controversy, Harvard Law School Professor and internationally renowned lawyer, Alan Dershowitz is embarking on a sell-out European tour for Democracy. Presenting ‘the case for Israel, the case for peace’ on his stops in Brussels, the UK (Oxford and London), and Holland (Leiden, Amsterdam and The Hague), Dershowitz will meet and debate with key national and European politicians and decision-makers; academics; embassy officials; journalists; think tanks; student bodies; and community leaders.
Dershowitz is keenly anticipating the trip: “The timing is opportune as I’ve just met with Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, his primary opponent Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni in Israel . I firmly believe that when the Palestinians and the Muslim states really want a Palestinian state more than they want to eliminate the Jewish state, there will finally be a two-state solution. I look forward to putting forward this case.”
The tour is being organised by the European Centre for Jewish Students (ECJS). Executive Director, Yossi Waks, acknowledges: “This visit comes at a particularly challenging and crucial time in Israeli relations. Following the Hamas victory, we realize the importance of addressing the impact of the new electoral reality, as well as the likely outcome of the Israeli election. We are delighted to have someone as prominent as Professor Dershowitz to take this on.”
