Good riddance to bad rubbish. He strove his whole life to bring American Jews down to the moral level of Palestinian Arabs by adopting their filthy tactics.

There's a sure proof that Jews indisputably hold the moral high ground in the Palestinian crisis - precisely because they did not succumb to the blandishments of this Arafat-like idiot.

"...died in a hospital after attempting to commit suicide in jail last week"

I wouldn't call it an attempt.

I film dead people.
 
But seriously, and a little more respectfully... I pray that you rest in peace, Mr. Rubin. You certainly were an original.

Though the criminal acts that he is alleged to have done were quite deplorable, some of his lawful actions and his willingness to directly confront evil were commendable, IMHO. And, in light of the actual good that he has done for the Jewish people and other minorities, I hope that his soul may rest in peace for all eternity.

Yes, he certainly was an original. I enjoyed his frequent guest appearances on Larry Elder's radio show.

On the bright side...dead men tell no tales.

I guess his financiers and co-conspirators can breathe a sigh of relief.

dennisw,

Uhhhh, excuse me, but, just how could this posted news article be considered "bad stuff on Jews..."? If anything, it actually portrays the late Irv Rubin in a rather positive, if not objective, light - except for his alleged acts of lawbreaking, that is. And all that is matter of public record, both good and bad, anyway.

Quite frankly, as an American, I admired Rubin's willingness to directly confront tyranny wherever it may occur. However, advocating extremist acts of violence should always be condemmed, IMHO.

Check out RC's history and you'll will see a track record of posting trash about Israel and Jews. He doesn't post stuff that shows Islam in a bad light. This is stone cold fact.  RC is nothing but a vampire who cruises the internet for hours each day trolling for bad stuff on Jews and Israel.

Above is truth, my assessment of what RC is up to.

Patients in his condition not infrequently succumb to emboli or electrolyte-related/other arrhythmias. Probably not a bad way to go....

"As a boy growing up in Montreal, he encountered signs declaring "No dogs or Jews Allowed," posted outside of hotels and other businesses. He also endured taunts from French Canadian school children who teased him because he was Jewish."

Ah, yes. The French influence -- consistent if nothing else...

You know, everything you say may be so. But if the article is from a legitimate source, contains factual information, and hasn't already been posted then isn't it a good thing that it is posted here? Don't you trust people to make up their own minds and put things in the proper context? I do.

Irv,

America finally awoke to arab muslim terrorism and the Religion of Peace's true nature.

They're even starting to realize Jews aren't the only ones marked for death.

We'll continue the fight.

G-d Bless. Rest.

Irv fought his whole life to protect Jews. All Jews.
Your comment, before the poor man is even buried, is a "filthy tactic."

There's a sure proof that Jews indisputably hold the moral high ground in the Palestinian crisis - precisely because they did not succumb to the blandishments of this Arafat-like idiot.

Comparing Rubin to ArabRat only shows us yourself.

Jews hold high moral ground, among other reasons, because they don't target civilian non-combatant children and mothers with human bombs and snipings.
