Harvard Prof Allan Dershowitz (self described liberal) says the following (Since the interview was on Fox, there will be some on HB who will discount it all together -
)
Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says that although he and many other liberal Democrats supported President Obama's domestic policies, Obama will go down in history as one of the worst foreign policy presidents ever.
He will go down in history, President Obama, as one of the worst foreign policy presidents ever, Dershowitz said during a Monday interview on
Fox & Friends. What he did to Syria, and what he was partly responsible for happening in Aleppo, creating a vacuum for Russia.
he created a terrible conflict for people, many like me liberal Democrats who support his domestic policy, but think he was an appalling appalling - president when it came to foreign policyLook, I supported his domestic policy. I liked him on Supreme Court appointments. But he created a terrible conflict for people, many like me liberal Democrats who support his domestic policy, but think he was an appalling appalling - president when it came to foreign policy. He hurt America so badly.
Speaking of the resent UN resolution against Israel, he states quote:
Dershowitz was particularly upset with Obama for abstaining from a vote on a recent
United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel for constructing settlements on land it has occupied since the
1967 Six-Day War.
In doing so, Dershowitz said, Obama stabbed the longtime U.S. ally in the back.
Obama called me into the Oval Office before the election and he said to me: Alan, I want your support. And I have to tell you, I will always have Israels back.
I didnt realize what he meant is that he would have its back to stab them in the back. And he just stabbed them in the back," Dershowitz said.
Thats not the way policy should be made, to get even in the lame duck period when there are no checks and balances, and you dont have to worry about the next election. Its the most undemocratic thing a president can do to tie the hands of his successor during the lame duck period, he continued.
The president has deliberately tied the hands of his successor. Its going to make it much harder for President Trump to bring back peace.
