There is just no stopping Alan Dershowitz - disgrace to the legal profession and even more so that he remains in the Faculty at Harvard Law School - as it is now revealed that he has been directly contacting students [where and how did he get their contact details?] who have been protesting Israel's actions in Gaza [notably at Hampshire College] and intimidating them.
Mondoweiss has the lowdown:
"Immediately after Hampshire College announced they had divested from the Israeli occupation, there was another story that Professor Alan Dershowitz had made threatening phone calls to students who had worked to pass the divestment. This seemed like an odd story - how would Dershowitz get student's private phone numbers? And while he might be expected to create a media circus out of this, would he really try to harass and intimidate students?
Ends up that he would. Below is a written description of the events of the morning of Thursday, February 12, the morning of the divestment announcement. This was written by Brian Van Slyke and it also mentions another Hampshire student, Matan Cohen. Cohen is an Israeli activist who has done amazing work to protest the separation wall in the West Bank. I know of Cohen because he was shot in the face by the Israeli military at a nonviolent protest in the village of Bil'in. Sounds like Dershowitz is familiar with him as well."
