Former Harvard law professor and ex-attorney to Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, is facing backlash after publishing a newsletter on Substack attacking Joe Kent for his resignation over the war in Iran.
Dershowitz called Kent a 'Neo Nazi, Jew hating, Israel-basher' and accused him of 'invoking antisemitic tropes' in his resignation letter.
Kent resigned on March 17, 2026, and wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump that Iran 'posed no imminent threat' to the United States and blamed 'high-ranking Israeli officials' and 'influential members of the American media' for creating a 'misinformation campaign' that pushed the US into war.
The post quickly faced strong criticism online, with many pointing to Dershowitz's past and questioning his authority to say what's best for America.
