The video in which Alan Dershowitz invited questions from viewers

23:00  Antisemitism
25:00  Gandhi racist and overrated. He also called himself an Aryan.
26:00  Believe in the threats of your enemies more than you believe in the promises of your friends.

54:00  Dershowitz intends to remain Democrat as long as he retains influence in the party.
1:01:00  "more Americans with Jewish heritage but fewer actual Jews"
1:02:00  How to marry only Jews. Everyone wants to marry a Jew except Jews.
1:03:00  Australian rabbi wants conversion to be easier.
1:06:00  Chabad at Harvard



I have emailed Professor Dershowitz with the following questions.
  1. Is the rise in antisemitism linked to how little Jews have been promoting the Noahide laws?
  2. Were Jews chosen by God to promote the Noahide laws?
  3. Which of the world religions is the most Noahide-observant?
  4. Is Islam the most Noahide-observant religion of all the world religions?
  5. Is Christianity the least Noahide-observant religion because it is both idolatrous and blasphemous to Jews as well as so patently absurd that the West is now as Christian as a human skeleton used to be human?
  6. Can any society do without a religion at least effective at maintaining minimum standards of sexual morality?
  7. Should your religion at least ensure that most parents in your society are married parents?
  8. Is America a Noahide nation?
  9. Is Israel a Noahide nation?
  10. Shouldn't Israel be a theocracy?
  11. Would any Noahide nation be promoting globohomo?
  12. Isn't promoting promoting globohomo tantamount to turning our global village into Sodom and Gomorrah attracting the same punishment?
  13. Did God create a logical universe and if so has He broken any rules of logic according to His own laws?
