Board to wait for new Montefiore plan Community Board 8’s Land Use Committee decided to grant a postponement of a meeting it had scheduled for Tuesday night to allow Montefiore Hospital adequate time to revise their plans. These revisions ostensibly will reflect points raised at an earlier, private, meeting with local community residents opposed to the project. The new meeting of the Land Use Committee will be held in September. At that time, according to the Hospital, they will be ready with a revised plan that will reflect the concerns of community residents. All this apparently did not sit well with the opposition group, who apparently was organizing an anti-Montefiore rally to coincide with the now cancelled meeting. But Charles Moerdler, the chair of the Land Use Committee maintained that the purpose of the meeting was not to provide a forum for a political rally, but rather provide information to the Board. “Montefiore made a timely and reasonable request, and we saw no reason not to grant it.” Meanwhile, Montefiore has agreed not to file new plans with the City’s Buildings Department until the presentation of the revisions to the Land Use Committee. Since the Hospital has designed

the building to conform with new, more restrictive zoning passed several years ago, they were able to build “as of right” until new legislation introduced by State Senator Jeff Klein and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz. The Montefiore building again became entwined with the campaign for the State Senate seat held by Senator Jeff Klein. The coup scored by Klein in erecting a formidable roadblock to the hospital’s plans seemed to also counteract charges made by the campaign of former Councilman Oliver Koppell. In an email to the editor of this newspaper, Lorraine Coyle, Koppell’s wife, charged that Klein has taken substantial contributions from the Simone Group, which is the developer of the Hutchinson Metro Center, where Klein has his main district office. “if Klein is paying substantial rent for his District Office to his landlord (from taxpayer funds) and the landlord is making major contributions back to Klein - who’s paying for what? Is this a disguised way of campaign contributions being paid for by taxpayers?” But, points out Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, a Klein supporter, Simone is also slated to be the developer of the Montefiore building.

“Enough of these attacks. It’s time to talk about issues. The legislation introduced by Senator Klein and myself was an enormous blow to Simone that may cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Certainly no one can say that Senator Klein is putting Simone’s interests ahead of the public interest. It is remarkable that despite all that, Simone

would make any contribution at all to Jeff Klein. This whole episode, rather than raising questions, once again confirms Senator Klein’s integrity.” Klein’s spokesperson, Candice Giove added, “Senator Klein’s challenger likes to criticize donations from Joseph Simone, who has donated to his campaigns for over a decade and who is devel-

oping the Montefiore property, but there is no better example of Senator Klein fights for what is right for his constituents regardless of campaign donations. Senator Klein authored a law that limits the size and scope of Mr. Simone’s project and that costs Mr. Simone money everyday because Senator Klein’s community comes first.”

Cuomo poised to support Klein; charges traded on campaign $$$ According to informed sources, State Senator Jeff Klein is on the cusp of a major coup that could greatly enhance the momentum that is already building in his favor – an endorsement by Governor Andrew Cuomo. This would add the support of the Governor to the endorsement of Mayor Bill DeBlasio, and the withdrawal of support by of Koppell by the Democratic Party establishment. Meanwhile, the Koppell campaign is focusing on campaign contributions made to his opponent make his campaign a “cesspool of special interests.” Koppell held a press conference on Sunday in front of the Real Estate Board of New York expressing disgust at the information revealed in the financial filing of his opponent, State Senator Jeffrey Klein. “This is a list of practically every special

interest that exists,” Koppell said. “It is a blueprint for any would-be public official who wants to hang a sign outside his office that reads ‘Pay-to-Play Inside: Drop Off Your Donations Here and Expect Your Favors To Be Returned.’” “Look at the extensive list of donors to Mr. Klein,” Koppell continued. “They obviously expect favorable treatment from the State Legislature in return. It becomes crystal clear why Klein straddled the fence between Democrats and Republicans in our State Senate. In swinging with the political winds, Klein becomes the Senate’s largest collection agency.” Koppell charged that “Klein’s filing listed contributions from the real estate industry, the liquor industry, the health care industry, the nursing home industry,

Pols rip Anti-Semitic graffiti

Local elected officials are standing together in the face of a horrific hate crime committed last week in a neighborhood park. On Friday, July 11, neighborhood residents found anti-Semitic graffiti in McLaughlin Playground on Greystone Avenue. The graffiti included several swastikas, as well as the words “Kill Jews.” The incident is currently being investigated by the Hate Crimes Task Force of the New York City Police Department. Last week, the neighborhood’s elected officials rose up to condemn the act and to call for the perpetrator to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Those elected officials who issued statements were Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., City Council Member Andrew Cohen, Congressman Eliot Engel, State Senator Jeff Klein, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Community Board #8 Chairman Daniel Padernacht. In their statements, they noted that although the graffiti was removed by the police, the Riverdale community is still in shock over the hate filled message. Such vitriol should not and cannot be tolerated, they said. “Such acts of hatred have no place in our borough or anywhere in civilized society. This anti-Semitic graffiti is a sad reminder of the cruelty some individuals are capable of, and I am proud to join my colleagues today to condemn this act in one united voice. The people of The Bronx do not tolerate hatred of any kind, and I hope those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice,” said Borough President Diaz. “I am appalled by the recent hate incident at McLaughlin Playground. Our community does not tolerate hate crimes of any kind and I am proud to stand with my colleagues in condemning this anti-Semitic graffiti. It is my hope that the NYPD catches the culprit who committed this heinous act,” said Council Member Cohen. “Hatred knows no boundaries, but targeting children and their parents is particularly reprehensible. Whoever defaced McLaughlin Playground did so with the intent to intimidate and harass the Jewish community. There is no place in

Continued from Page 1 the pharmaceutical industry, the banking industry, the charter school industry, the gambling casino industry, the insurance industry, the waste management industry, and from a host of lobbyists. All of these donors want and seek favorable treatment from Albany.” The largest donor of corporate dollars to Klein is the real estate industry. It is no surprise that Klein has a record that fails to respond to any tenant concerns. Joining Koppell at the press conference was Michael McKee, Treasurer of Tenants PAC. McKee pointed out that “Jeff Klein is an operative for the real estate lobby in Albany actively working to kill pro-tenant legislation.” “I am the only loyal, progressive Democrat in this race. My vote is not for sale. My financial filings show modest donations from a wide array of voters. Compare the filings,” Koppell concluded. But Candice Giove, Klein’s spokesperson, saw things differently. “Senator Klein always puts the interests of his community first and to suggest otherwise is simply a desperate attack by a challenger who has no support from the Democratic Party, from Mayor Bill de Blasio, from Governor Andrew Cuomo or other party loyalists. Senator Klein has a stellar voting record on all these issues, always putting his constituents ahead of any special interests.”

our society for bigotry or discrimination, and hate crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Congressman Engel. State Senator Klein said, “Our playgrounds are places for innocent children to play together in a safe and protected environment, not platforms for hate speech. The anti-Semitic inscription found at McLaughlin Playground flies in the face of the rich racial and ethnic diversity that makes our neighborhood so special and will not be tolerated in our community.” “I am saddened and upset to learn that anti-Semitic graffiti was recently discovered in McLaughlin Playground. Hate speech has no place in our community or anywhere, and I am committed to working with fellow elected officials, city agencies, and members of the community to fight Continued on Page 3

BP Diaz funds improvements at Wave Hill station will make a visit to this park a better experience, allowing more people to discover a key part of our borough’s revolutionary heritage.” In addition to these projects, Borough President Diaz has also put funding into two New York City Housing Authority developments, including $440,000 to install new security cameras at the Forest Houses. “Just last week, I stood with Mayor de Blasio as he announced his proposal to make our city’s NYCHA developments safer. I have funded cameras and security upgrades in the past, and will continue to do so as we work to make our public housing developments safer for their residents,” said Borough President Diaz. Other capital projects funded by Borough President Diaz this year include renovations at both the DeWitt Clinton High School and Adlai Stevenson High School campuses, and exterior renovations at Bronxworks headquarters on the Grand Concourse.

I hope that those who committed this crime are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and I appreciate the swift action by NYPD and the Parks Department to address this matter,” said Assemblyman Dinowitz. “This horrendous hate crime is most likely the act of an uneducated individual who has deep social issues which need to be addressed. I hope that the police locate the individual so that our community is not disturbed by any further similar acts, and I am proud to stand together with our elected officials in denouncing this terrible crime,” said Padernacht.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.’s annual funding allocations are big news for one local cultural institution. The borough president announced that he has provided $9,135,000 to 25 projects this fiscal year, including a total of $84,000 to Wave Hill. That funding will be used to provide new lighting for Wave Hill’s galleries as well as a new shuttle van to transport visitors. “Our cultural institutions are the core of our borough’s tourism opportunities, and my office is committed to keeping them strong and vibrant,” said Borough President Diaz. “Wave Hill is an amazing institution, and these grants will make the experience even greater for all visitors, be they from around the region or from right here in The Bronx.” Since taking office in 2009, Borough President Diaz has provided more than $126 million in capital funding to 362 total projects. This year, Borough President Diaz’s largest allocations went to housing, $2.75 million, representing 30 percent of his total capital budget. These funds will support the creation of over 600 new units of housing across five projects. Borough President Diaz also provided $2 million to parks projects, the second highest percentage of his total capital funding for the year at 22 percent. This will include the renovation of the pool at Edenwald Playground and the construction of a new comfort station at Fort Four Playground near the Jerome Park Reservoir, among other projects. “Fort Four Playground was built to defend the critically important neighborhood of Kingsbridge during the American Revolution, a project ordered by General George Washington himself,” said Borough President Diaz. “A new comfort

Educational Landmarks II: Fordham University One of the oldest educational landmarks in The Bronx is Fordham University. Founded by Bishop (later Archbishop) John Hughes in 1841, it was later turned over to the Jesuit order to educate the students. A number of its buildings have been declared official landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Perhaps the oldest structure on the campus is the center portion of the Administration Building. It was erected in 1836 on the Rose Hill estate for merchant Horatio S. Moat of Brooklyn. The private residence was designed in the then-popular Greek Revival style with Ionic columns flanking the entrance. The two brick wings were added in the early twentieth century. After the estate was purchased by the Archdiocese, William Rodrigue was hired to design the first buildings. Rodrigue was the brother-in-law of Bishop Hughes, and that is probably why he got the job. It is thought that he designed the structure now called Alumni House in 1840, a small fieldstone house also in Greek Revival style. He and his family resided there while

construction was proceeding. There were two pressing needs at the beginning. The first was a place where students could live. For them, Rodrigue designed St. John’s Residence Hall in 1845. Some of the early classes also met in the collegiate Gothic structure. It is still used as a residence hall today. For the spiritual needs of the students and faculty, Rodrigue designed St. John’s Church nearby, and completed it in the same year, 1845. Now called University Chapel, it is of Gothic Revival design with a central tower. Its walls are of random ashlar. The tower has a bell that tradition holds inspired Edgar Allan Poe, who lived in nearby Fordham, to write the poem, “The Bells.” Thus, it is named “Old Edgar.” In 1929, architect Emile Perrot added the transept, chancel, crossing and lantern to the chapel. Over the years, the institution grew from being St. John’s College to Fordham University. It has an international reputation for excellence. But these landmarks still impart some idea of how students were educated when it all began in the 1840s.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Hypocrisy of Obama, Kerry starts to grate on Israel By MICHAEL FREUND Reprint from NY Sun, July 22, 2014 With a predictability that is rapidly becoming mind-numbing monotony, various American officials — from the president on down — have been stressing the need for Israel to exercise restraint in its counter- terror operation in Gaza so as to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties. In addition to President Obama, this concern has been voiced in recent days in one form or another by none other than Secretary of State Kerry and the American envoy in Israel, Ambassador Shapiro, as well as the spokesmen for the State Department and the White House. Just in case we didn’t get the message the fourth or fifth time it was delivered in public, both the president and the secretary of state are said to have repeated it in private telephone conversations with Prime Minister Netanyahu. As Ronald Reagan might have put it, “there they go again.” And again, and again, and again. Washington’s recurring mantra about restraint is not merely tiresome, it is profoundly hypocritical, and it highlights just to what degree Mr. Obama’s foreign policy resembles the parent who, while holding a cigarette, tells his child: “Do as I say, not as I do.” Take, for example, America’s policy of carrying out drone strikes against al-Qaida affiliates in places such as Yemen, where terrorists have succeeded in seizing territory and transforming it into a platform for violence (sound familiar?). In a 102-page report released on October 22, 2013, by Human Rights Watch, entitled “Between a Drone and al-Qaida: The Civilian Cost of US Targeted Killings in Yemen,” the group examined six strikes carried out by American forces in that embattled country. They found that at least 57 of the 82 people killed in the attacks were in fact innocent civilians. In other words, for all of its sermonizing to Israel about restraint, America had few qualms about killing twice as many civilians as terrorists in its drone strikes in Yemen. Among the incidents cited in the report was one in September 2012 in Sarar, in central Yemen, when a passenger van carrying 12 civilians was blown to bits by mistake. In another incident, in December 2009, America carried out on a Bedouin camp in the Yemeni village of al-Majalah a cruise missile strikethat killed 14 al-Qaida terrorists and 41 civilians, two-thirds of whom were said to be women and children. Whatever happened to Mr. Obama’s “serious concern about the growing number of casualties,” which a White House statement on Sunday said the president had raised with Mr. Netanyahu during a phone conversation? Apparently, as far as Washington is concerned, the ends justify the means in the war on terror, unless the one pulling the trigger to defend himself happens to be Israeli. On the same day that the Human Rights Watch report regarding Yemen was made public, Amnesty International released a study of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan. Entitled “Will I Be Next?”, the document assessed nine drone attacks that took place between January 2012 and August 2013 in Pakistan’s North Waziristan province. Here too, there were “incidents in which men, women and children appear to have been unlawfully killed or injured,” the report noted. These include the inexplicable U.S. drone attack in October 2012 in which a 68-year-old grandmother, Mamana Bibi, was blasted to smithereens in front of her grandchildren while gathering vegetables in an open field. Earlier that year, on July 6, American drones attacked and killed 18 Pakistani laborers who had gathered for dinner after a day’s work, and then carried out a second strike on the first responders who came to help the wounded. In most such cases, the United States does not even acknowledge its responsibility for such attacks, let alone issue an apology. And it certainly does not heed calls for restraint. Now don’t get me wrong. I fully support Washington’s policy of using drones to take out terrorists, a policy that has weakened al-Qaida and its affiliates in a variety of countries. But I find it hard to fathom America’s selective moral calculus when it browbeats Israel to be extra careful vis-à-vis civilians in a war zone even as the U.S. itself fails to show such caution. Sure, the Obama administration has voiced its support for Israel’s Continued on Page 15

How Malaysian Flight 17 and the Gaza situation are connected By HOWARD BARBANEL What does the Israeli ground incursion into Gaza and the downing of Malaysian Flight 17 over Ukraine have in common? Seemingly, it would seem nothing, but in actuality, everything. Over the past 10 days hundreds of missiles have rained down on Israel from Gaza, with some of them actually reaching Israel’s major cities. The level of rockets fired by Hamas are an upgrade from their last fusillade of a few years ago but still not fully at first world standards – not because Hamas doesn’t want better weapons, but because of Israel’s continued interdiction of Iranian arms shipments. The lack of Hamas missile lethality is a credit to Israel’s missile defense systems, not a diminution of Hamas’ intentions. On Thursday over the Eastern Ukraine, an area being held by an ad-hoc group of socalled ethnic Russian freedom fighters (but really in the main by Russian special forces units in Vietcong-style camouflage) a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 with 298 people aboard (including three infants) was shot clear out of 32,000 feet of sky by a sophisticated ground to air missile supposedly launched by these ethnic Russian patriots. Ukraine doesn’t have an Iron Dome missile

defense system so the wreckage of Flight 17 is a horrific debris field of body parts and mechanical detritus. Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport (and its only major airport) is a scant 11 miles from the heart of Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city. But really, Tel Aviv is a megalopolis like Los Angeles or Miami with dozens of governmentally independent municipalities comprising a sprawling metropolitan area where about three million of the country’s seven million people live. Most significantly, Ben Gurion is situated a mere four miles from the Palestinian Arab town of Rantis in the disputed West Bank. It wouldn’t take sophisticated weaponry as was used to down Malaysian Flight 17 to wreak havoc with Israel’s commercial and civilian air travel. Gaza-caliber missiles fired from West Bank rooftops would effectively shut down air travel into and out of Israel and in a horrific specter, shoulder-launched ground to air missiles could take down civilian aircraft with men, women and children aboard in a matter of seconds. The Iranians (who supply materiel and money to Hamas and Hezbollah in the North) are now looking for any way, shape or form to convince the

U.S. and the West to give them more time to negotiate over their uranium enrichment program. Time is money – with economic sanctions eased considerably in consideration for yammering with the Western diplomats, the Iranians can enrich more uranium, install more centrifuges and make life better for their people all at the same time. The Iranians have made it crystal clear that their ultimate objective is world domination and the obliteration of Israel as part and parcel of that process. The peaceful public blandishments by the Iranians about their nuclear program reminds me of the 1970 sci-fi film Beneath the Planet of the Apes starring James Franciscus, in which the subterranean mutant human survivors of a 20th Century nuclear conflagration are the guardians of a doomsday hydrogen bomb that their chief clergyman calls a “holy weapon of peace” and a “divine bomb.” Franciscus, as the astronaut Brent can’t contain his combination of derision, disdain and ludicrousness and stammers in a mocking way, “holy weapon of peace!” while half-laughing. But the bomb was no joke and in the end of the film (spoiler alert here if you’ve not seen it in the last 44 years) the Earth is destroyed by it. The Iranians are on that track and if they had their druthers they’d propel Hamas to control of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank (just as Hamas forcefully ousted Fatah from Gaza) and would supply them with thousands of missiles with which to shut down central Israel, sow terror on land, sea and air and actively fulminate for a second Holocaust against the Continued on Page 15

Hypocrisy of Obama, Kerry Continued from Page 14 right to defend itself. But by couching this phrase alongside an overly insistent need for restraint, Washington is sending the following message: You Jews can of course defend yourselves, but only up to a point. The bottom line is that in the first 13 days after the start of Operation Protective Edge, the Palestinians fired 1,780 rockets from Gaza at Israeli towns, villages and cities. That averages out to about 137 rockets a day, or more than five an hour, every hour, for nearly two weeks. This is unconscionable, unacceptable, and must be stopped. In this war, we should bear in mind the immortal words of the late General George S. Patton, Jr., who commanded the Third United States Army after the invasion of Normandy in 1944. Once, before heading into battle, he reportedly declared, “May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I sure as hell won’t.” Sounds callous? Perhaps. But in a war of survival against a determined foe, it is the only way to prevail. From the Jerusalem Post.

Malaysian Flight 17 Continued from Page 14 millions of Jews in Israel. Hence the Israeli government’s determination not to have El Al, Delta, United, Air France, British Airways and other airlines’ flights blown to bits in the air over central Israel or bombed while on the tarmac by allowing the proliferation of dangerous missiles adjacent to its very narrow territory and its equal determination not to allow more genocidal extremist regimes to camp out on its doorstep. While the so-called Russian separatists in Ukraine are not exactly Hamas, the net result of their recent actions and ambitions are the same and in a sense the struggle of the Ukrainians and the Israelis for freedom and security in the face of bloodthirsty bullies are very much in alignment.
