12. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

I think that Dershowitz may be biased here by his profession as a defense lawyer. In that profession, you use whatever arguments or evidence, short of perjury, that will support your client; and you don't usually need to worry about whether providers of that evidence are spreading toxic influences in other contexts.

I doubt that Beck's motives are 'genuine' love for Israel; Israel is a useful pawn to use to (a) fulfil religious prophecy and (b) oppose Muslims. In any case, Beck is such a poisonous snake that he should not be trusted further than one can throw him.
