Haaretz columnist Danny Rubinstein justified his recent Israeli “apartheid” comments:
“I am not apologizing for what I said,” the Ha’aretz writer told a crowd of about 100 Monday evening at the New North London Synagogue, according to several people in attendance. “People do use the word apartheid in my circles. My newspaper increasingly uses that word. This is nothing new.”
“I only started using the word apartheid recently after Jimmy Carter’s book, though I didn’t like the book,” Rubinstein said, referring to “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”
