ALERT: Redefining Hypocrisy and Chutzpah
Mission Statement of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles:
"The Jewish Federation seeks to mobilize and
integrate financial, human and organizational
resources within the Greater Los Angeles Jewish
community to foster a sense of common Jewish
purpose; to strengthen Jewish constituencies in
order to enhance Jewish identity; to meet critical
human needs in a Jewish context; and to intensify
our bonds with our people worldwide." --
(http://www.jewishla.org/html/federation_people.htm#Mission)
Every year since 1951, on the Jewish lunar calendar date of
the 27th of Nisan coinciding with the Warsaw Ghetto uprising
(http://www.warsaw-ghetto.co.uk/study/uprising.htm), many
Jews worldwide have memorialized the six million Jews among
the total of 13 million victims murdered by Adolph Hitler and
his Third Reich death machine. This day is called Yom HaShoah
in Hebrew, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The typical format of these public assemblies has been to
mourn the slaughter of European Jewry. Though the date was
set to coincide with the anniversary of one of the greatest
acts of heroism by civilian non-combatants in the last century,
the focus of the annual event has been on those unfortunates
who were herded like defenseless cattle onto train cars to
their deaths in Nazi concentration camps. The Warsaw Ghetto
uprising has been given the briefest of mentions, if any at
all.
Together with officials of the Libertarian Party of California,
many of them Jewish, I was asked to share in the effort to
refocus this year's Holocaust Remembrance Day in the San
Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles to celebrate the bravery
and heroism of Jews who fought against all odds, using firearms
and other makeshift weapons, to defend themselves from certain
annihilation.
When asked by the chairman of the Libertarian Party of
California (LPCA) to suggest a suitable location for the event,
my first and only choice was the North Valley Jewish Community
Center in Granada Hills, in a suburb of North Los Angeles.
My choice of that particular building wasn't inspired by its
well manicured lawns or beautiful architecture.
The North Valley Jewish Community Center was where, on August
10th, 1999, Buford O. Furrow, an avowed white supremacist,
fired between 60 and 70 rounds into a room filled with children
attending day care activities, wounding three children, a
teenage girl and a 68 year old woman before driving to nearby
Chatsworth and murdering a Filipino postal letter carrier,
Joseph Ileto, on a residential street
(http://jpfo.org/alert19990811.htm --A Triumph for Gun Control
in Los Angeles). On March 26th, 2001, to avoid the death
penalty, Furrow pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to
two life terms in prison
(http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/2000/20010326/lo/344484_1.html
- --Furrow Sentenced To Life For Valley Shootings).
Furrow told federal investigators that he chose the community
center because security was virtually non-existent. He had
originally intended to shoot up the Simon Wiesenthal Center
Museum of Tolerance in West Los Angeles, court documents said,
but decided against it after finding the facility well guarded.
(Ibid) Fact: the only security in place at the Museum of
Tolerance was video surveillance cameras. Not so much as an
unarmed guard was employed there. The North Valley Jewish
Community lacked even that precaution, futile as it would
have been against a deranged and vicious assailant.
This last February 1st an open forum was advertised by the
San Fernando Valley Council of the National Rifle Association
to be held at the same North Valley Jewish Community Center,
where a staff member of California state senator Jack Scott
(D-Burbank) was to hear comments from the public on Scott's
proposed legislation to require licensing of handgun owners
in the state. It was to be the highlight of a meeting of the
gun grabbing and (italics) *very political* Million Mom
Marchers (http://jpfo.org/alert20010201.htm --Second
Amendment Supporters Denied Entry to Million Mom March
Meeting).
The Jewish Community Center, under the oversight of the
Jewish Federation of Los Angeles, requires a Special Use
liability insurance policy for any group wishing to use its
meeting room. Through LPCA, this insurance was purchased and
the meeting room at the community center was reserved for the
evening of Thursday, April 19th with the rental fee paid. The
community center's staff worker in charge of meeting room
bookings, Ms. Elaine Wynstock, was fully informed by Mr. Juan
Ros of LPCA of the nature of our event. "That sounds fine",
said Ms. Wynstock when she accepted the rental check and proof
of liability insurance. The check was deposited by the community
center and the funds were withdrawn from LPCA's bank account.
There were several meetings (not to mention the multitude of
e-mail exchanged) of LPCA volunteers, myself included, over
lunches and dinners in local kosher restaurants. $1,150.00
was contributed by LP supporters for a half page ad to appear
in the Los Angeles Jewish Journal to publicize our event. A
computer graphics artist from the group worked long hours to
design a flyer and ad copy. Speakers of note, myself the least
among them, were to address the necessity of armed self defense
in America today, with citations from the Torah and Talmud, even
in the most daunting situations as did the shabbily equipped
heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
And then, within three weeks of our first of its kind Holocaust
Remembrance Day event with no time to alter plans or coordinate
advertising, the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles dropped a
bomb. They were unilaterally reneging on a paid contract, as
their "policy" is not to allow political groups to use their
facilities. Obviously, someone in the Jewish Federation
hierarchy decided that no crazy talk of armed self defense
would take place in one of their buildings. No matter that even
in the nearly two years since Buford Furrow shot the place up
and wounded four people has that building hired a full or part
time armed security guard for its normal day to day activities.
In the collective thinking of the Jewish Federation, firearms
and self defense are *traif* (non-kosher, like pig). End of
discussion, as far as the Federation is concerned. Unless, of
course, you are the Million Mom Marchers who hold their meetings
there!
*Chutzpah*, or peerless audacity, was once jokingly defined as
a child who murders his parents while they sleep and then throws
himself on the court's mercy since he is an orphan. The Jewish
Federation of Los Angeles has outdone that joke by light years.
Only this isn't a joke.
The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles has a website
(http://www.jewishla.org/), but not an e-mail address. (I'm
twitching at my keyboard to offer a theory in print as to why,
but I'll exercise self restraint with great effort). If you are
as outraged by this new plateau of hypocrisy and chutzpah as I
am, please convey your warm and fuzzy sentiments to:

Go back to the top of this Alert and again read the Jewish
Federation's Mission Statement: "...to foster a sense of common
Jewish purpose; to strengthen Jewish constituencies in order to
enhance Jewish identity; to meet critical human needs in a
Jewish context;..." etc., ad nauseum. Speak with Ms. Nina
Lieberman-Giladi, the executive director of the Jewish
Federation. Ask her if the means of defense against the
thousands of Buford O. Furrows out there is a critical need
in a Jewish context. You will be calling on your dime, so
demand an intelligent answer (assuming she has one). Be polite,
but firm. We need to show that we are as intelligent as they
incorrectly presume themselves to be.
Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party of California is in
consultation with legal counsel to review grounds for a
lawsuit. Breech of contract comes to mind, though Nina
Lieberman-Giladi, the executive director of the Jewish
Federation, has voiced a possible willingness to compensate
us for actual out of pocket expenses, but not for the lost
opportunity.
Other means of bringing our case to the public eye are also
under consideration. The Jewish Federation seems quite content,
even happy, with blood soaked victimhood. It makes for great
press coverage and ensures that contributions keep flowing in.
The Libertarian Party of California will NOT, G-d forbid, give
them yet another moment of martyrdom in which to bask in
sanguineous fame and glory. The Libertarian Party has a bit
more class than Buford O. Furrow, the convicted murderer.
The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles, along with its affiliates
and lackeys, must be exposed as the not charged or indicted
murderers that they are. Their business, their very livelihood,
is derived from the sale of Jewish blood.
In liberty,
Rabbi R. Mermelstein
