At the well-attended event in Emerson Hall, Dershowitz argued that “this is a time for Israel to be extremely generous.” He said that Israel’s strategic interests, along with moral imperatives, demand a rapid resolution of the conflict with Palestinians. Opening his remarks, Dershowitz criticized the Harvard Law School...
