Jewish World Review May 8, 2007 / 20 Iyar, 5767 As the world churns ... By Ed Koch http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | CNN commentator Lou Dobbs has developed a formula for his successful daily program. It is taking a single issue such as the debate on immigration and legalizing the status of the existing 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants in the country, and discussing it every day for weeks or even months. He always forcefully presents his view that allowing illegal immigrants to change their status to legal and allowing them to ultimately become United States citizens without returning to their own countries and standing in line with others is a form of amnesty. While it can be reasonably argued that there is a heavy handed aspect to his daily attacks, the core of his argument is correct, in my opinion. Because he is so effective, there are those who would now like to get rid of him by charging him with the use of abusive language. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) a famous historic private sector agency that has assisted in bringing in millions of Jews over the years as immigrants, has demanded that Dobbs be fired because, according to The New York Sun, he "denounced immigrant-rights groups for portraying a crackdown on illegal immigrants as a threat to foreigners who live in America legally," saying "They might as well work for Herman Goering. I mean, they're running so much propaganda, trying to confuse the debate, the national dialogue, by talking about immigrants rather than illegal aliens and legal immigrants." Dobbs is right and, while a reference to Goering is a bit much, and he probably meant to say Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, he is on target. The supporters of the drive to legalize illegal immigrants often seek to confuse the issue by fudging if not eliminating any difference between legal and illegal immigrants. If Dobbs had wanted to avoid controversy, he would simply have alluded to the "big lie" technique. In any event, it is an outrage that his job should be threatened, although CNN will not succumb to the pressure. On the other hand, advertisers have the courage of paper tigers. It is important that those who believe in good tough debate stand up and defend the other side, when as here, Dobbs has done nothing illegal, immoral or unconscionable. Indeed, his opinion on this issue is the majority opinion in the country. I am surprised at the little coverage given by the print media to the police riot last week in Los Angeles, resembling what occurred at Kent State University 27 years ago in the era of the Vietnam War when a national guard contingent fired into a crowd of protesting students, killing four and injuring nine. This past week, apparently an audio recording of the Kent State riot was found on which, according to The New York Times, a voice "order[ed] troops to fire into a crowd of students, according to a man wounded in the shootings who obtained a copy of the recording." In Los Angeles, Police Chief William Bratton said, according to The Times, "the episode here in which police officers clashed with demonstrators and journalists on Tuesday at an immigration rally was the 'worst incident of this type I have ever encountered in 37 years in law enforcement.'" According to the Los Angeles Times, "Bratton said the 60 or so members of the Metropolitan Division's Platoon B have been 'stood down' and won't return to active street duties until they have undergone retraining that meets his level of comfort. 'Some of them in all likelihood won't be returning to the Metropolitan Division as a result of our findings,' he said. Any disciplinary action won't come until the LAPD issues a May 30 report to the City Council. 'Some of this will be career-impacting,' Bratton added. The chief made it clear that incident commanders would be just as accountable." The police said 15 civilians were hurt. The Times reported, "Mr. Bratton said 240 non-lethal projectiles [rubber bullets] were fired by the police into the crowd." I oppose the goals of the rally and recognize there undoubtedly were provocateurs who threw rocks and bottles at the police. I doubt that the police were in such danger that they feared for their lives, and they apparently did not try to apprehend those engaged in violent behavior before resorting to their guns. Ultimately, the police arrested nine people for offenses including assault and rock throwing. Hopefully, those convicted will pay an appropriate penalty, including jail time and not be discharged with a lecture. But the greater threat to our liberties are the police who engaged in a police riot, described by their police chief as the "worst incident of this type." They should all be suspended from the force immediately and those who gave the orders to lock, load and fire should be prosecuted. Society cannot tolerate law breakers, especially among those charged with enforcing the law. The Times published one of the scariest articles I've read in a long time on what Western civilization is facing from Islamic terrorists who are bent on destroying our culture. The article provides a picture of one town in Jordan that produces Islamic terrorists who engage in suicide bombings expecting and wanting to die in their cause, the murdering of their opponents in Iraq which include Iraqi civilians and Americans. The Times reports, "Local Imams led them further toward Iraq, citing verses from the Koran to justify killing civilians." "The anger," reports The Times, "is so palpable on the streets of Zarqa [Jordan]. 'He's American? Let's kidnap and kill him,' one Islamic activist said during an interview with a reporter before the host of the meeting dissuaded him." The reporter goes on, "In April, a pair of truck bombers killed nine American soldiers...Asked to name his targets, Abu Ibrahim said: 'First, the Shiites. Second, the Americans. Third, anywhere in the world where Islam is threatened.'" We, the inhabitants of the Western world are under lethal attack, not only in Iraq, but everywhere. My fear is that too many of us refuse to believe that to be plausible. Adding to the problem, there are many prepared to appease those who threaten us.
