Renowned Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz made it clear that the case must not be closed regarding the Obama Administration officials who personally attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with various epithets. The insults were widely reported in the international press after having been first reported in the New Yorker.
Speaking with Newsmax TV this past Thursday, Prof. Dershowitz said that President Obama "must get to the bottom of this, find out who the two people are who made those statements, expose them, and fire them."
Dershowitz, who endorsed Obama in both of the last two Presidential elections, hinted that Congress should get involved in the matter. "Congress can have hearings to determine who those two senior White House officials are who used those terrible words about PM Netanyahu," he said.
The Zionist Organization of America seeks to keep the issue in the news by publicizing Dershowitz's remarks. The organization noted that "surely, if these remarks were made against the PA's dictator/President Abbas, Turkey leader Erdogan, or even Iran's leaders Rouhani or Khameni, not to mention any other leaders who are allies to America, the officials would have been exposed and fired."
The ZOA emphasized that the White House spokesman's response to this "ugly personal attack against the Prime Minister of Israel" was "weak and insulting by merely calling it 'inappropriate,' 'counterproductive,' and 'not our position.'"
"The President should be made to understand," the ZOA concluded, "that he cannot get away with anything less than an apology, and identifying and firing these officials - especially [after other Obama officials have apparently also called] Netanyahu obtuse, blustering, pompous, and Aspergery."
