The first act was the only pleasant one.\n\nTen Los Angeles Jews gathered at the invitation of philanthropists and activists Stanley Sheinbaum and Alan Gleitsman to share a meal and views with Syrian Minister of Expatriots Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashir Assad, and Dr. Imad Moustapha, Syria\’s acting ambassador to the United States, on what was their first official visit to Los Angeles.\n\nThe meeting was arranged at the initiative of Dr. Hazem Chehabi, a nuclear medicine specialist who also serves as Syria\’s honorary consul general in Southern California.
