Alan Dershowitzs Marthas Vineyard vacations are stillprettay, prettayuncomfortable.

Larry David screamed at the prominent legal commentator at a popular convenience store on the island, theNew York Postreported Wednesday, over Dershowitzs ties to the Donald Trump camp in recent years.

Those ties have made him a pariah at the posh vacation spotsince at least 2018, reports have claimed. But the David episode, involving two of the worlds most prominent Jews, is circulating on the internet for its humorous details.

David apparently hit Dershowitz with this line, among others: Its disgusting. Your whole enclave its disgusting. Youre disgusting! The lawyer clapped back before he drove off in an old, dirty Volvo.

Dershowitz didnt find the scene to be funny, he said. After David critiqued him for cozying up to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Dershowitz told the Post that he worked with Pompeo, a former student of his at Harvard, on the Trump administrations Israel policy.

While [David] was writing bad jokes, I was helping to bring about peace in the Middle East, Dershowitz said.

Dershowitz defended Trump against impeachment calls through several TV interviews during his presidency, and critics have also pointed to the famed O.J. Simpson defenders tiesto the late disgraced Jewish financier Jeffrey Epstein. In response, many of his liberal Marthas Vineyard friends, such as David, now shun Dershowitz.

Im reveling not whining, hetweeted in 2018.Im proud of taking an unpopular, principled position that gets me shunned by partisan zealots. Its not about me. I couldnt care less about being shunned by such people.
