Danny Rubinstein (1937- ) is an Israeli journalist and author.
Biography
Daniel (Danny) Rubinstein was born in Jerusalem in 1937. He grew up in Neveh Bezalel, a small neighborhood between Nahlaot and the city center.[1] He majored in Middle Eastern studies and sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. [2]
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. [3]
He lives in Jerusalem's Beit Hakerem neighborhood. [1]
Journalism career
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 is 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. [4]
Rubinstein teaches at the Department of Middle East history at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba and has published several books.
Controversy
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 ccanceled 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."[5]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." [6]
