""At a time when old friends and allies who should be supporting the Jewish state are abandoning it in droves, (Glen) Beck's willingness to stand up for Israel must be accepted with gratitude," Harvard law Professor Alan Dershowitz stated in a piece published in Hudson New York.

According to Dershowitz, "I, for one, do not question his motives. I believe they are genuine. One need not accept all of Beck's positions on Israel – and I certainly do not – in order to agree with him that support of Israel is one of the great moral issues of the 21st Century."

"Dershowitz added, "I certainly admire Beck's decision to go to Israel far more than the decision of so many so-called artists and intellectuals who call for a boycott against the Jewish state without even bothering to go there and see for themselves."

"I welcome the support of religious Christians who love Israel for religious reasons. I abhor the ignorant and misguided efforts of other Christians, such as Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu, who misuse their faith against the Jewish state," Dershowitz noted."
