Reading " The Ugly Truth About The ADL "
Excerpts from the Chapter on "Colluding with terrorist"
In December 1985, then-FBI Director William Webster, speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C, admitted that a "Jewish underground" had emerged as a serious terrorist threat to the United States during the preceding twelve months. Indeed, over the course of 1985, the Jewish Defense League (JDL)had been responsible for a string of sophisticated bombings that left two people dead, a dozen others seriously wounded, and caused millions of dollars in property damage.
Alex Odeh, the head of the California branch of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (AADC),had been killed when, a bomb went off at the group's Santa Ana office. Seven other people were hospitalized in the attack. Tscherim Soobzokov, a victim of the Justice
Department's Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations (OSI), had also died when a booby trap bomb blew up his home in Paterson, N.J. A Boston police officer, responding to a JDL bomb threat at the local office of AADC, was crippled for life when a pipe bomb blew upas he was attempting to defuse it.
In each of these instances, the bomb attacks have been preceded by noisy public demonstrations and inflammatory press statements by Mordechai Levy, the leader of a JDL splinter group, the Jewish Defense Organization (JDO).
Although FBI boss Webster left his National Press Club audience with the impression that the so-called "Jewish underground" was a mysterious and amorphous outfit about which the FBI had little information, in truth, the Bureau had an exhaustive profile of the key personnel and their mode of operation. FBI agents on the scene of the Santa Ana, Calif. murder of Alex Odeh knew the identities of the three men who planted the bomb before Odeh's body was even removed from the murder scene. The killers were longtime JDL members Andy Green, Keith Fuchs and Bob Manning The American-born trio were residents of an Israeli kibbutz in the occupied territories called Kiryat Arba. Kiryat Arba was a training camp and safehouse for the JDL and its Israeli affiliate, the Kach Party. The FBI listed Fuchs, Green and Manning as suspects in a total of 25 terrorist attacks inside the United States. Fuchs had been jailed in Israel in 1983 for firing a Soviet-made AK-47 rifle at a busload of Arabs on the West Bank. Manning had served time in jail in the United States for bombing the home of an Arab-American activist When the three JDLers arrived in Los Angeles several days before the Odeh murder, they were already under FBI surveillance.
It's no wonder that FBI Director Webster was not anxious to discuss details with the room full of reporters at the National Press Club. The Bureau had been in a position to prevent the bombing of the Santa Ana AADC office and they had flubbed it.
Or worse?
At the same time that the "Jewish underground" was conducting its bombing spree from coast to coast, the FBI was relying increasingly on the ADL for information about extremist groups! This was the same ADL that would join with the KGB and the East German Stasi in covering the trail of the assassins of Sweden's head of state, Olof Palme.
Even more to the point, this was the same ADL that was instrumental in the creation and deployment of such diverse terrorist groups as the JDL and the Ku Klux Klan!
According to Robert Friedman, the biographer of JDL founder Rabbi Meir Kahane, the militant Jewish group was controlled from its founding days by a secret three-person committee made up of future Israeli Prime Minister and Mossad operations chief Yitzhak Shamir, right-wing Israeli parliamentarian Geula Cohen, and Brooklyn ADL Chairman Bernard Deutch.
It was at a December 1969 meeting between Cohenand Kahane, arranged by Deutch, that the JDL launched its campaign of terror and intimidation against Soviet diplomats in New York and Washington, aimed at forcing the Soviets to loosen up their emigration laws for Jews .In the early days, before JDL head Kahane hooked up with mobster Joe Colombo, and many JDLers began funding their terrorist operations by selling dope or running syndicate shakedown operations, ADL man Deutch had been the moneybags behind the Jewish militants. Deutch's involvement with the JDL was such a well-kept secret that his Kahane links remained virtually unknown until 1991.
Just as the B'nai B'rith had quietly steered other Jewish-American groups to smuggle arms into Russia on the eve of the Bolshevik Revolution, the ADL ran the "Jewish underground" from behind the scenes, often going through the motions of publicly denouncing the JDL violence to make sure that no direct links were ever surfaced.
ADL's 'Ku Klutz Klanners' Mordechai Levy, the leader of the JDL splinter group that managed to show up on the doorsteps of Alex Odeh and Tscherim Soobzokov on the eves of their assassinations, maintained direct and frequent contact with the ADL's Fact Finding Division head, Irwin Suall. Just two weeks before the AADC's Washington, D.C. office was blown up on Nov. 29,1985, Levy had appeared as the featured speaker at a press conference hosted by the Federation of Jewish Organizations of Greater Washington, an umbrella group led by both the ADL and B'nai B'rith, to present a list of "enemies of the Jewish people." AADC was among the groups listed.
On more than one occasion, Levy's provocateur antics nearly exposed the ADL's hand in fomenting domestic violence.
On Feb. 16, 1979, Levy, using the pseudonym "James Guttman," filed an application with the U.S. Park Service in Philadelphia, Pa. to obtain permission to hold a rally. The rally permit sought by Levy/Guttman was notified in the name of the JDL. Levy was posing as a leader of the American Nazi Party, seeking a permit for a Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party rally at Independence Hall, the site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
According to the rally permit, Levy was planning a "white power rally, to show white masses unity of white race, and to show the world niggers and Jews are cowards." Among the paraphernalia Levy listed on the application were: "swastikas, banners, Nazi uniforms, KKK paraphernalia...will burn cross, swastika picket signs saying 'Hitler was right—gas commie Jews.'" Working out of the Philadelphia offices of the Jewish Defense League, Levy organized local chapters of the KKK and neo-Nazi groups to attend the Independence Hall rally. In the case of the Trenton, N.J. KKK, Levy had an inside track. James Rosenberg, also known as "Jimmy Mitchell" and "Jimmy Anderson"—a full-time paid employee of the ADL Fact Finding Division—had success-fully infiltrated the local chapter of the Klan. Rosenberg had recently attempted un successfully to get some of the local KKKers to blow up the Trenton headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). At the same time he was posing as "James Guttman," neo-Nazi, Levy was also mobilizing the Jewish community and every ragtag left-wing radical group in the greater Philadelphia area to attend a mass demonstration "to confront" the KKK and Nazis at Independence Hall. All the ingredients were there for a serious riot—courtesy of the ADL.
Fortunately, word of Levy's scam on the Park Service leaked out to the Philadelphia press. After one Philadelphia newspaper ran a banner headline "Nazi Rally-Rouser Really Jewish," the Park Service yanked the permit Levy's ADL handlers ordered him to lay low for a while.
After all, there was no need to jeopardize Levy or even Rosenberg's standing as professional agents provocateur inside the racist right-wing. The ADL had plenty of other aces up their sleeves, and not all of them were Jewish infiltrators.
