LOS ANGELES (AP) - Irv Rubin, the Jewish Defense League leader accused of plotting to bomb a mosque and a congressman's office, has made a career out of confronting those he considers enemies of Israel and the Jewish people. That includes Arabs, neo-Nazis, evangelizing Christians - even fellow Jews who do not share his eye-for-an-eye brand of extremism. Those critics of JDL's action have no concept of righteous anger, Rubin said on the group's Web site. They prefer to be targets; they love tears and sympathy; they stand up for the rights of their killers.
