Robert Manning, sentenced to life in the mail-bomb murder of a Manhattan Beach secretary, has been granted parole. Manning remains a person of interest in a 1985 Santa Ana bombing that killed Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh.
Nearly 40 years ago, long before the latest conflagration between Israel and Hamas militants, a bomb ripped through the Santa Ana office of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, taking the life of the group's regional director, Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh. The FBI labeled the bombing a terrorist attack and early on identified the Jewish Defense League as 'the possible responsible group.
' “To many Jews in North America, they were seen as heinous crimes,” said Alon Burstein, an Israel Institute Fellow and visiting assistant professor in UC Irvine's political science department. “On the other hand, it was also seen as the first time — with the exception of the state of Israel — that Jews were standing up militantly and saying ‘never again.’ ” Manning grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household in Los Angeles, where he dropped out of Fairfax High School at 17.
