Dershowitz Says Hamas Is Manipulating the White House: ‘Biden Is Playing Into Their Hands by Telling Israel Not to Attack the Hospital’

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz slammed President Joe Biden for urging Israel not to bomb hospitals in Gaza.

On Monday, the president said hospitals in the densely populated territory of 2.3 million people “must be protected” as Israel carries out its response to terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas on Oct. 7 that killed 1,200 Israelis. His comments came as Israeli forces approached the Al-Shifa Hospital complex in Gaza City. The hospital is without electricity and fuel.

The Israeli government said the hospital houses a Hamas military command center. A U.S. official echoed this claim on Monday, but the person declined to be identified.

Appearing on Fox Business on Monday, Dershowitz accused Hamas of using hospital patients and staff as human shields.

“Let’s be clear what Hamas is doing right now,” he began. “Hamas is deliberately murdering Palestinian babies in hospitals. That is what they’re doing. They are denying the babies, the food, the resources, the gas, the oil. They are purposely putting them in harm’s way. They are hoping that Israel kills babies so that Hamas can show the babies on CNN.”

Dershowitz then criticized Biden for urging Israel not to attack medical facilities:

This is mass murder by Hamas of Palestinian babies deliberately in order to get the world to turn against Israel. And unfortunately, President Biden is playing into their hands by telling Israel not to attack the hospital. He oughta to be telling Hamas not to put their fighters, their rockets, their tunnels underneath hospitals and denying these babies the opportunity to live by denying them the fuel necessary to keep their generators going.

The professor accused Israel’s critics of “pointing the finger at the wrong defendant.”
