The claim names Alan Dershowitz, but the passage it was extracted from never names him, and the rest of the post does not either, so the claim departs from the passage and cannot be graded as the poster's statement.

What was said

… You can bomb my house, you can kill me with my family, but I'm not afraid of you. I will support the Palestinian people until your regime bombs my home. So go and tell them that I'm prepared to die for the Palestinian people. But you, you who used to frequent Epstein Island, you have no principles and no morality. The Iranian people came to the streets in the tens of millions. We all know it. The footage is there. The international journalists were there, not just in Iran but in Iraq.

What we found

Supports. Dershowitz stated and sworn filings and the AP report say he visited Epstein's island once, for a single day, accompanied by his wife and daughter, which cuts against the idea of frequenting it.[1][2][4]

Supports. Another source describes Dershowitz as a guest on Epstein's private island and says he spent significant time in Epstein's company, which partly supports the claim that he visited the island.[3]

Context. The extracted claim adds Alan Dershowitz as the referent of 'you who used to frequent Epstein Island'; the passage and the rest of the post never name him, so the claim departs from the passage.

Context. A 2023 transcript attributed to Dershowitz describes a family visit to the island; a Jmail wiki says he flew on Epstein's planes, but neither establishes repeated island visits.[5][6]
