	Following Israel's bombing of Tunisia in 1985, the ''Christian Science Monitor '' quoted Rubin as saying, 'Here's a clear case where international law has to catch up to new kinds of problems.

Of course, it maintains a determined even-handedness, failing to hint at the easily demonstrable fact that it was the Palestinians who were not interested in making any compromises, even refusing to come to the table at all. But evenhandedness is welcome from an administration that originally seemed set to become the most anti-Israel presidency in history.<ref>Comment, As the world sees it..., The Independent, 2-February-2010</ref>

-In the 1980s Rubin criticised Reagan's relationship with the Christian right. He was one of a number of figures at a seminar in Washington in 1984, held as part of the five-day international convention of [[B'nai B'rith]]. According to the ''Washington Post'' participants were 'almost universally critical of President Reagan's linking of religion and politics in a speech at the Republican National Convention'. Rubin said Reagan's statement on relgion and politics was 'almost word for word the kind of statements that the Ayatollah Khomeini has made'. <ref>Marjorie Hyer, 'Reagan's Religion-Politics View Hit by B'nai B'rith Gathering', Washington Post, 4 September 1984</ref>
