Protesters
ashamed of themselves,
and should apologize for
their repugnant conduct,”
Lancman wrote in a press
statement.
Lancman represents
central Queens and is
currently running for
Queens district attorney.
Two coach buses full of
protesters drove to Temple
Or Elohim in Jericho,
where Michael Wilner,
who owns the factory at
78-16 Cooper Ave., sits as
the synagogue’s president.
Before they ended up at
the synagogue, the group
began the protest at
Wilner’s house to demand
that the abandoned factory
in Glendale be developed
into a school instead of a
shelter.
The following
video, captured by Lee
Rottenberg, who was one
of the protesters, shows
the group walking through
synagogue’s parking lot
and being confronted by
one of the congregants.
Mike Papa, one of
the protest’s organizers,
dismissed Lancman’s
charge and stressed that
it had “nothing to do with
religion.”
“Lancman is probably
just using this situation
to get his name in print,
however I will not allow
him to turn this peaceful
rally to promote a plan
sponsored by our District
Councilman Robert
Holden to build a school
for handicapped children
in our community into
another fabricated case of
anti-Semitism. This has
nothing to do with religion
and everything to do with
community,” said Papa.
Papa added that the
coalition had “many Jewish
neighbors” participate
in the rally that day and
that he was not trying to
hurt or disrespect any
Jewish members of the
community.
For his part, Holden
echoed Lancman’s message
to the protesters.
“When I found out that
the protesters went to the
synagogue, I immediately
condemned the organizers
for it in person,” said
Holden. “I agree that it is
repugnant conduct and
the organizers of the rally
should apologize.”
Asked for a response
to Holden’s statement,
Papa said that Holden had
“condemned no one” when
he met them after the
protest on April 13.
