Is Rubin Jewish? Just curious.

I'm much more interested to read descriptions of the situation from either non-stakeholders, or from the Palestinians themselves. I have no idea if Rubin's assessment is accurate or not, but it sounds reasonable, and I have no idea whether the things he describes are set in stone and that's just how it is, or whether they are theoretically changeable with a little effort. I would imagine changeable.

For example, Rubin's description of the Taliban-led Afghanistan might have sounded similarly hopeless (all the moderate Afghanis get their heads chopped off, so they don't speak out!), but with some effort the situation there, while not yet stable, seems to have improved from the the Tals were in control. If that can be accomplished in far off mountainous Afghanistan, how set in stone can the right next door Palestinian leadership/rules be?
