Defamation League of the
B'nai B'rith. In the early
1980s, he was a maverick
Jewish defense League ac-
tivist in Los Angeles, where
his harassment of white hate
groups became legendary."
In those same years, accor-
ding to Friedman, Levy
sometimes turned up on the
East Coast as a security
agent for the anti-Semitic
group headed by Lyndon
LaRouche. Levy claims he in-
filtrated the LaRouche group
as an undercover agent.
Friedman states that Levy
gave the FBI, the ADL and
the office of the Manhattan
District Attorney "dirt" on
LaRouche operations.
The incident in Greenwich
Village, reported Friedman,
stemmed from a feud between
Levy and West Coast JDL
head Iry Rubin that began in
the early 1980s when Levy
left the Los Angeles JDL
chapter because it was not
"militant enough" for him.
Levy then created the JDO,
which, stated Friedman, "was
really nothing more than a
roll of quarters and a phone
booth across from his favorite
deli where Levy made harass-
ing telephone calls to
`enemies of the Jewish peo-
ple.' "
Rubi refused to be upstag-
ed by L;:vy. Friedman writes
that Rubin told him in 1985
that he had beat Levy "so
severely that he was
hospitalized. Rubin now
denies that he beat Levy."
Levy claims that after he
spoke on a Los Angeles radio
talk show in June, he was
beat with a pipe by Rubin and
fellow JDL leader Steve Rom-
bom. On the talk show, Levy.
charged Rubin with drug-
dealing, extortion and
laundering money for a con-
victed crime figure. Rubin
denies the charges.
Both of Levy's alleged at-
tackers have violent histories,
according to Friedman. In
1976 and 1977, Rombom had
spent 20 months in federal
prison for JDL pipe-bomb at-
tacks on the Iraqi, Soviet and
Polish missions to the United
Nations, two Manhattan
banks, and the national head-
quarters of the American
Communist Party. Friedman
describes him as a "strapping,
strutting, gun-toting private
investigator from Brooklyn"
whose "tough-guy obses-
sions" may have begun in the
psychiatric institutions
where he spent eight years of
his youth."
Rombom, asserts Friedman,
"is a tragic example of the
sort of psychopath [JDL
founder Mehl Kahane at-
tracted to the JDL." ❑
