 Amnon Rubinstein
Amnon Rubinstein, a journalist and lawyer, was born in Tel-Aviv in 1931.
Rubinstein retired from the Knesset, his farewell speech was met with applause from representatives of all the parties, a rare event that demonstrates the high regard for his accomplishments.
Amnon Rubinstein’s contribution to the State of Israel, as a public figure, a member of the legislative and executive branches of government, and as a brilliant researcher and legal expert.”

 Promised Land
Amnon Rubinstein, a moderate member of the Israeli Parliament for the past quarter-century, a former government minister and dean of the Tel Aviv University Law School, and one of the more intelligent and decent public figures in Israel, has written a book that reflects on some of these surprises.
Rubinstein is also eloquent on the gap between the secular values of Zionism and the religious symbols it has ultimately embraced.
Rubinstein says the critics ''make the mistake of considering Zionism a monolithic movement lacking any internal heterogeneity.'' But that is precisely the mistake he makes in attacking the revisionist scholars.

 Ami Kronfeld - The Shoe is on the Other Foot
On 2/25/02, Amnon Rubinstein, a former professor of law, a member of the Israeli Knesset since 1977 and one of the leaders of the dovish Meretz party wrote an article in Ha'aretz in which he declared that whoever supports the refuseniks should "redefine the meaning of 'morality' and 'conscience.'"
Rubinstein's own legitimacy, and the legitimacy of the policies he and others stand for are now being called into question.
And the legitimacy of Rubinstein (and others like him) is called into question not through some intellectual discussion among political scientists, but simply because of the fact that a growing number of soldiers are withdrawing their recognition and acceptance of his authority and power.

 Amazon.ca: From Herzl to Rabin: The Changing Image of Zionism: Books: Amnon Rubinstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Rubinstein, who has long been a journalist, human rights activist and member of Knesset (he was also a minister in Rabin's government), advocates a return to what he calls the original tenets of Zionism, a movement that sought to establish a democratic home for the Jewish people, not a state governed by Mosaic law.
Moving deftly between the roles of objective historian and persuasive politician, Rubinstein uses his skills to show both the political and religious aspects of Zionism and the attacks on it by the haredim and Post- and anti-Zionists.
Rubinstein believes that to be Post- or anti-Zionist is to undermine the existence of the state of Israel and its necessary place in the world.

 Amnon Rubinstein's lazy - and misleading - math - 11 March 2003
There are not many aspects of Israeli life untouched by the celebrated Amnon Rubinstein, a lawyer, turned professor, turned political party founder, turned government minister, turned journalist and writer.
By comparing statistics from the US and Britain, Rubinstein presumably hopes to refute the conclusion the rest of the world is drawing: that Israel has become an openly racist, apartheid society.
But to imply, as Rubinstein repeatedly does, that Israel's Muslim and Christian Arab populations suffer from the same kind of racism experienced by American fls, British Muslims, or Ethiopian Jews is simply wrong.

Meretz joined Itzhak Rabin's government in 1992, and Rubinstein was chosen as the Minister of Energy.
As an Education Minister, Rubinstein earned popularity because of his liberal approach, which de-facto manifested in lowering the bar for high school graduates to enter higher education.
During the year 2006 Rubinstein wrote many articles against Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, and in one of those articles he said the famous statement about the Palestinians: "Since Goebbels no one got so much by speaking falsely as the Palestinians".

 "The Poor in Your Own City Shall Have Precedence": A Neo-Zionist Critique of the Katzir-Qaadan Decision, by Gerald M. ...
Reflecting this bleak forecast, even a number of liberal secular Israelis such as MK Amnon Rubinstein (Meretz) have distanced themselves from the self-destruction of post-Zion-ism, re-emphasizing the importance of the Jewish state.
Rubinstein also condemned the blatant abuse of the democratic process and of sensitivity to minority rights and individual equality in order to undermine the legitimacy of Israel.
In other words, as at least Rubinstein realizes (if not explicitly), the Israeli situation is far from "normal," and efforts to apply "normal" (liberal democratic) norms and values out of context have not been successful.
