The Occupy Wall Street movement, now in its fourth week, has plenty to brag about. Its occasionally published newspaper, the Occupied Wall Street Journal, proclaims: “In the great cathedral of capitalism, the […]

I do not recall another president whose negative drumbeat about large segments of the population has been so relentless.

Walking down New York’s 55th Street near Park Avenue last Friday evening, our group of seven men in suits and ties was approached by a panhandler asking for money.

“Here are a bunch of Wall Street guys,” he said, straight out. “Give me some money.”

Although we were not all “Wall Street guys,” all except one kept walking, ignoring the panhandler as we typically do, as instructed by “experts.” Yet over the past 30 years of living in the city, I often have disregarded this advice, and so once more I gave instinctively. I pulled out a dollar, handed it to the man, smiled, and resumed walking.

But next came a revelation.

“A dollar?” the man shouted. “You Wall Street fat cats! This is what the problem is with this country. Take your damn dollar.” With that, he threw it on the sidewalk.

Apparently, street charity now has a minimum.

GIULIO MEOTTI: WHY DID ISRAEL BETRAY ITS VICTIMS?*****

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148762%20
Remember the body bags, remains of a stroller, a notebook, Nazi numbers tattoed on burned arms, bits of jewelry, military berets…
“But the State of Israel betrayed its victims. It’s a process that began when Yitzhak Rabin called Ofra Felix, a wonderful Israeli girl killed by the terrorists in 1995, “a victim of the peace process”. The Talmud says that in Israel, the dead protect the living. Today it’s less true.
The question everybody has to answer is: why?”

The writer, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a weekly column for Arutz Sheva. He is the author of the book “A New Shoah”, that researched the personal stories of Israel’s terror victims, published by Encounter. His writing has appeared in publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frontpage and Commentary.

Everything has been written about the Israeli commitment not to leave its soldiers behind in the field (be they alive or dead), about the fact that no other country in the world would trade one soldier for a thousand of terrorists, about the excruciating torture that Gilad Shalit’s parents have endured over five years and about the need of relief of the Israeli society.

The Shalit affair is the psycological drama of the Jewish tiny nation under siege.

JAMES FREEMAN:MORTIMER ZUCKERMAN FRETS ABOUT OBAMA….SEE NOTE PLEASE

The Exasperation of the Democratic BillionaireReal-estate and newspaper mogul Mortimer Zuckerman voted for Obama but began seeing trouble as soon as the stimulus went into the pockets of municipal unions.

MIGHTY MOGUL MORT ALSO FORKED OVER MILLIONS TO BUY THE GAZA STATE OF THE ART FARMS THAT PRODUCED MILLIONS IN PROFITS FOR THE GAZARABS…THEY THANKED HIM BY TRASHING AND DESTROYING AND RAZING ALL THE HOMES, GREENHOUSES, MACHINERY, IRRIGATION AND SEEDS….. BUT IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF TEVYE…”WHEN YOU’RE RICH THEY THINK YOU REALLY KNOW”…RSK

‘It’s as if he doesn’t like people,” says real-estate mogul and New York Daily News owner Mortimer Zuckerman of the president of the United States. Barack Obama doesn’t seem to care for individuals, elaborates Mr. Zuckerman, though the president enjoys addressing millions of them on television.

The Boston Properties CEO is trying to understand why Mr. Obama has made little effort to build relationships on Capitol Hill or negotiate a bipartisan economic plan. A longtime supporter of the Democratic Party, Mr. Zuckerman wrote in these pages two months ago that the entire business community was “pleading for some kind of adult supervision” in Washington and “desperate for strong leadership.” Writing soon after the historic downgrade of U.S. Treasury debt by Standard & Poor’s, he wrote, “I long for a triple-A president to run a triple-A country.”
