		David Dinkins' recent outburst about the "Park Avenue Jews" was in part an attempt to rationalize his own paralysis of will during the Crown Heights pogrom.
		The Post would have us believe that the mainstream Manhattan-based Jewish organizations responded "within hours" to the violence in Crown Heights, rallying "to the aid of their oppressed co-religionists." In fact, as was widely documented in the pogrom's aftermath, the mainstream Jewish organizations did very little except issue tepid press releases.
		Within 24 hours of the pogrom's unfolding, they could have staged an emergency rally in front of City Hall, bombarded the mayor's office with thousands of phone calls and telegrams, and held a televised press conference inside Crown Heights with the personal attendance of the top leaders of every major Jewish organization.
