10. Rubin would be a Democrat in these parts if he didn't live in Israel...

There are two points in the article, however, I would like to challenge. First, is the description of me as "right-wing" and found it surprising that I defended Derfner.

I reject that entirely. There is more of a choice in politics today--I hope--than being either "left-wing" or "right-wing." As I have repeatedly made clear, I am more accurately described as a traditional liberal in American terminology and as a moderate social democrat in European or Israeli terminology. Since I was a parliamentary candidate in the last Israeli election of a social democratic party that might be some clue as to my political views.

I won’t take the space to present my Democratic Party (US) and Labor Party (Israel) credentials.

Azurnoir, are you a leftwinger or a liberal?
