In some ways, Israel has achieved a peace. There are fewer rockets being sent into Sderot, there are no rockets to speak of from the North, there has been very little terrorism from the West Bank. It’s a kind of peace. I hope for a better and more enduring peace. Peace is not an endgame; we will never be completely at peace. Alan Dershowitz Read Quote

I was such a bum in elementary school and high school… There is a permanent record today, and it’s called the Internet. Alan Dershowitz Read Quote
The same independence that got me into trouble in high school got me praise in college. Alan Dershowitz Read Quote
I feel like my 50 years at Harvard were an interlude. I’m really a New Yorker. Alan Dershowitz Read Quote
