NEWS CONFERENCE IN L.A.: Irv Rubin, JDL planned bombings, says FBI

CBS 2 - Los Angeles | 12-12-01

[Constitution Day]

"Nothing proven there. Denied by Israel as well."

Well, of course they denied it!
So would the US or any other country if in a similar position.

[Red Jones]

that's incredible and very important info you stated about Golda Meier.

I wonder if the news media will make a big deal of this, I think they should.

Can you imagine what a big deal it would be if the Christian Coalition or the Moral Majority planned to bomb a synagogue. The JDL presents itself as a legitimate organization even while they try to tell us that christians and conservatives are potential terrorists and then they themselves are terrorists according to the FBI.

How surprising you haven't heard about JDL in such a long time.

FYI, JDL is representing the American POW's from WWII who were imprisioned and tortured by the Japanese. Many were tortured to DEATH. JDL is representing their families!

Somewhere I read that JDL is an arm of the Moussad (SP).

[PRND21]

If this is true they are idiots.

No Veronica, if this is true they are terrorists, and should be handled thusly.

[contessa machiaveli]

we do not accept terrorism of any kind in the USA.this is america, we don't get down to the level of animals who prey on innocents. if he planned attacks on islamic centers he should be thrown in jail.

For those of you who, like myself, thought Issa was the "bomb" (pardon the pun), Debbie Schlussel has done an awesome job of showing what that guy is all about. Check out her archives on World Net Daily. www.worldnetdaily.com

I was about twenty blocks away (in classes) when it happened.

It was a Bolshoi Ballet tour event, I believe.

It was in the papers for weeks. Those guys did hard time, I think - not the slap on the wrist they would have gotten if it had been a stink bomb.

There are some strange details in the Fox story. We'll see how it plays out. BTW all countries spy on each other. Nothing new there. One thing I know if any Israeli had had prior knowledge of 9-11 he would have reported it.

[Hildy]

Before we start making a moral equivalence between the radical muslims and the radical Jews, you must realize that there are something like 25 members of the JDL left. I say get rid of them all...and my father was a member of the JDL in the 70's.

[onyx]

Debbie Schussel is a viscious left-winger. She's never met a Republican she didn't HATE. I am not defending Issa, he's irrevelent.

[veronica]

Very interesting turn in the events.

Nah just an unsubstantiated blip.

[Sabramerican]

if it had been a stink bomb.

I may be mistaken--I don't think so- but there wouldn't be a distinction for the offense charged.

FOX BREAKING NEWS (Cnn beats them by 2 hours++????)

If these accusations are true, these are terrorists. People trying to blow up stuff in my neighborhood, be they Arab, Jew, Christian, or otherwise, really PISS ME OFF.

Here, here! I'm tired of pussyfooting around the idea that Jewish Americans and/or Israelis simply couldn't be terrorists. That's just as ridiculous a notion as saying black people can't be racists.

If Rep. Issa has committed any crimes he should be investigated, arrested and charged. Bombing his office is no way to make any kind of "political" statement--it is barbaric, and we are not going to give in to barbarity, no matter who tries to deal it out. Bombing his office is an act of war against the United States, as he is an elected official representative of the United States. I would say the same thing about any of them, no matter what elected official it is. Bombing a mosque is a horrendous act in itself. Terrorism is wrong whenever Hamas does it and it's just as wrong when so-called Jewish militants do it, too. We've got enough to worry about with Arab terrorists without the JDL getting into the act, too.

"Can you imagine what a big deal it would be if the Christian Coalition or the Moral Majority planned to bomb a synagogue. The JDL presents itself as a legitimate organization even while they try to tell us that christians and conservatives are potential terrorists and then they themselves are terrorists according to the FBI."

I think you've got the ADL and the JDL backwards.

[billhilly]

You inspired me to look. This is what I found.

The Jewish Defense League is the organization founded by the late martyr Rabbi Meir Kahane, Of Blessed Memory in the year 1968 in New York City to defend Jewish, rights, property, individuals, institutions and honor by any means necessary. The JDL today is under the dynamic leadership of Irv Rubin, a longtime associate of the late Rabbi Kahane and has its international headquarters in Los Angeles, California. There is no issue facing the Jewish people today that the JDL won't tackle and unlike the so called "respectable" Jewish establishment organizations the JDL doesn't form commitees and study what needs to be done for years on end, thus wasting precious time and accomplishing absolutely nothing! The JDL takes concrete action to solve Jewish problems.

This comes from the Web Site of the JDL.

[Cool Guy]

Nah just an unsubstantiated blip.

I hope so.

[Truth Speaker]

I agree... Terrorism is not acceptable for anyone to commit.

Everyone should be held to the same standard where terrorism is concerned.
