Israeli? Yep... it's Hebrew for Moses. But, that's as a first name...
Could be it would have been Joe Ben Moshe (Joe, son of Moshe)?
Summerthyme

A Westchester man suspected of making a threat against the White House poses no danger, but sometimes becomes loud and profane when he fails to take his medication for mental illness, his neighbors said today.
"The guy is harmless, but once he gets off his meds he is screaming profanity," said one neighbor.
Neighbors and his mother identified the man as Joe Moshe, 56. Moshe fled from U.S. Secret Service agents and Los Angeles police officers Thursday, leading a chase in a 2002 Volkswagen Beetle up the San Diego (405) Freeway.
He stopped near the Federal Building in Westwood and is engaged in a standoff with law enforcement officers.
Asked why her son might threaten the President Barack Obama, 90-year-old Julia Moshe said, "I don't know. He is a sick man. Depressed."
The standoff began shortly after 10 a.m., when police tried to stop Moshe near his home in the 8300 block of Creighton Avenue. Police have not publicly identified him.
Neighbors who did not want to be identified said Moshe "sounds like he could be dangerous," but he has never caused any significant trouble for them.
"He's got issues. He doesn't take his medication, he doesn't do that well," a neighbor said.
Moshe, who does not work, inherited the house when his father died. His mother lives in Beverly Hills.
She was watching the standoff on television.
"He is not giving up. I don't know," she said. "I am a very old lady. I'm a sick lady."
Neighbors said he never posed any threats to them.
"Most of the time we just hear him yelling," a neighbor said. "For the most part he is quiet."
Neighbors said Secret Service agents in suits and driving government cars appeared on the street Wednesday night.
They tried to speak with Moshe, but he did not answer the door.
The agents asked neighbors questions about Moshe instead.

So are they still screwing around and not taken his ass out of the car? I got bored with the up-to-the-minute reports once I realized the guy is not gonna blow anything up and was simply running from the cops.
Him entering a Fed building may have been purely accidental.
"Oh! Here is a big building parking lot-let's pull in!"

They're Jewish. Google his mother's name "julia moshe" and this is what you get:

El Shofar, page 13 of 20 (pdf)
Ms. Julia Moshe donated to the temple.

KTLA feed is in and out now.
The dreaded red Beetle,
Probably packed full of milk swilling Mennonite extremists.
I guess I'm confused; I thought the VW was blocked in the Federal Building parking lot. In the above picture, it appears to be out in a street. Although I can't figure out what that roof-looking thing in the foreground is doing there.

KTLA was back up briefly with audio...robot still hasn't moved.
According to the reporter a number of LAPD officers have their guns drawn.
Someone probably spotted some dogs in the neighborhood...
nharrold- if you go to THIS link, you'll see a different view, and it's not on the street:

Fox News Live link reported that the back window has been penetrated (with non-lethal means) at some point - crack is visible to the reporter in the helicopter. Trying to negotiate without success.
Careful with any Fox live coverage.
Equivalent to 6 ten year old girls at a pajama party with Geraldo or Shepard as the head cheerleaders.

but.......there's no smoking on federal property I thought. I know I just woke up but I am confused. How did he manage to pull into the Federal building parking lot without being stopped?
Oh for crying out loud-they can shoot dogs, tazer women and rape tropical fish but not figure out how to get one lunatic out of a freaking VW?!?!?!?
Set the ****er on fire and I promise he will exit.
If not the standoff is ended at any means.
What is he doing? Trying to negotiate a sex change for the other guy?

CBS2 local news is reporting that the man's home is to be searched for bomb-making paraphernalia, and that they are going into a "holding pattern" at the scene until they determine if he has capability to have made a bomb.
Results of the home search will determine what they do next on-scene at the car.
