Dem leaders, WH silent on Media Matters’ hostile rhetoric against Israel, Israel’s supporters

By Jamie Weinstein

Alan Dershowitz is on a crusade against Media Matters.

The liberal Harvard Law School professor has taken every opportunity to lambast the left-wing organization for the bile it spills against Israel and its supporters. He is also critical of the association the Democratic Party has with the group.

Dershowitz has written that the rhetoric used by Media Matters senior foreign policy fellow MJ Rosenberg is like the “virulent hate speech you’d expect to find on a neo-Nazi website.”

Despite this hostility towards America’s strongest ally in the Middle East, The Daily Caller has reported that the White House maintains close ties with the group, even including the organization on weekly strategy calls.

But Dershowitz says such a connection between Media Matters and Democratic leadership is unacceptable.
