Danny Rubinstein (1937- ) is an Israeli journalist and author.

Daniel (Danny) Rubinstein was born in Jerusalem in 1937. He grew up in Neveh Bezalel, a small neighborhood between Nahlaot and the city center. He majored in Middle Eastern studies and sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

In 1967, in Six-Day War, Rubinstein was a reserve soldier in a Jerusalem reconnaissance unit led by Yossi Langotsky. This unit was the first to cross the cease-fire line into the Jordanian-controlled West Bank.

He lives in Jerusalem's Beit Hakerem neighborhood.

From 1967 to 1990, Rubinstein worked as a columnist and Jerusalem bureau chief for the now-defunct newspaper Davar. From 1990-2008, he worked for Haaretz, where he was a member of the editorial board. He wrote regular columns on the Arab-Israeli conflict and Palestinian affairs. He now writes a weekly column on the Palestinian economy for Calcalist, an Israeli business daily published by Yediot Ahronoth.

Rubinstein teaches at the Department of Middle East history at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba and has published several books.

In 2007, Rubinstein described Israel as an "apartheid state" at the UN-sponsored International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace. In response, the Zionist Federation of Great Britain canceled his scheduled appearance at an event sponsored by the Federation. Its chairman, Andrew Balcombe said: "Criticism of Israeli policy is acceptable. However, by using the word 'apartheid' in a UN conference held at the European Parliament, Danny Rubinstein encourages the demonization of Israel and the Jewish people." At an event sponsored by the New Israel Fund, Rubinstein was not apologetic: "People do use the word 'apartheid' in my circles. My newspaper increasingly uses that word. This is nothing new."

Henry Alfred Kissinger (born May 27, 1923) is a German-born American political scientist, diplomat, and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. After his term, his opinion was still sought out by many following presidents.

A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated the opening of relations with China, and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. His role in the bombing of Cambodia and other American interventions abroad during this period remains controversial.

Kissinger is still a controversial figure today. He was honored as the first recipient of the Ewald von Kleist Award of the Munich Conference on Security Policy and currently serves as the chairman of Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm. Kissinger was the "most frequent visitor" to the George W. Bush White House as an unofficial political adviser on Israel and the Middle East—including the Iraq War.

Let's say it's all true, he's wealthy, etc. He's doing institutional analysis on the flaws in the system. He lives in the system and has to play by the system's rules to live. We all do. You're talking about him having to make some kind of symbolic statement against capitalism by living like a pauper in order not to be a hypocrite. What a useless detour from educating and organizing that would be. It's like somebody completely against the labor movement refusing to ever take a weekend.

@AnonymousWhitePerson

That's the first unimpeachibly sane thing I've seen you type in some time.

The most autoblogged video yet.

TURN IT UP, please! I can't hear a thing!

@TheFaithvoid Chomsky met with Hassan Nasrallah and talks about it on a Radio Open Source/Christopher Lydon show in 2006 titled "Noam Chomsky: My Dinner with Hassan". So what? Reagan era diplomat and terrorist expert Edward Peck also met Nasrallah at the same time. Check it out, it's a great interview.

Don't forget, Lebanon's largest Christian political party, the Free Patriotic Movement are openly allied with Hizbollah, who in turn transmit Sunday mass live on their Al-Manar TV show.

@DrCruel I have looked at at every source you mentioned. You didn't even read the one I gave you. If you had, you wouldn't still be claiming that he visited Hezbollah. Even the video you touted as evidence doesn't claim that. He didn't go to Hezbollah headquarters. He didn't go to the Leader's house for fucking dinner and coffee. If you even looked at your own sources with any scrutiny you would have known that. I should be asking myself why I'm responding, not you.

[TheFaithvoid]

@DrCruel Like I said in the last post, he didn't visit Hezbollah. He visited southern Lebanon and Hezbollah is the government in southern Lebanon. The video you pointed to was showing him touring an ISRAELI TORTURE CAMP IN LEBANON FROM 2007. The person who gave him the tour was in Hezbollah, but that's the extent of his dealings with them. He did many other things in Lebanon, but the media chose to highlight what they could spin. You obviously didn't read the interview I referred to.

[DrCruel]

@TheFaithvoid What? He "easily refutes" claims of a visit to Hezbollah when there is video footage of him visiting Hezbollah?

No wonder you feel justified in claiming everything I say isn't true. How could it be? No matter how empirically factual it might be, it can simply be "talked away" or ridiculed. Then it doesn't count for anything, as far as your concerned.

watch?v=HvSjiq1pLVY

What's the point of responding to you any further?

[TheFaithvoid]

@DrCruel I said you hadn't produced any sources that stood up to criticism, and if you wanted to be taken seriously you should present some that do. There ARE grounds for that. That's all true. If you consider that to be mocking, then the facts are mocking you, not me. I watched your video on Chomsky's visit to an Israeli prison/torture center in Lebanon. Read Chomsky's interview at Tablet magazine, called "Q&A: Noam Chomsky", where he easily refutes claims of a visit with Hezbollah.

[DrCruel]

@TheFaithvoid You have made light of my statements and my sources, without grounds. You claim I am not worthy of being taken seriously. This constitutes "mockery".

Did you bother to check the video clip? How do you explain away Chomsky's trip to visit the leadership of Hezbollah?

[TheFaithvoid]

@DrCruel How am I mocking you? Do you even know what that means?
