ISRAEL’S UNEVEN EXCHANGE: WSJ

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203914304576626853921639410.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_AboveLEFTTop The line between moral values and moral hazard can be thin. Israel has a long history of unequal prisoner exchanges. Since 1982, it has released thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a handful of Israeli soldiers and civilians, some of them living, others already dead. Last week, it agreed to release […]

WSJ: ISRAEL’S DEAL WITH THE DEVILS….DAVID MNOOKIN

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.
