TORTUREGATE

Foxman also said that almost 10 per cent of the anti-Semitic incidents in 1988 were linked by their perpetrators to the intifada. Grafitti daubed on four Palm Beach, Florida area synagogues included such slogans as "Victory Uprising" and "Abu Jihad", and the spraypainted slogan "Zionazi racists" was found beside swastikas on the wall of the Jewish Students Center at the State University of New York, Binghampton.

OT:  "Feel needed, Barry"

   Yeah, an attorney in New York City with 15 years' experience making below $35 an hour without any benefits whatsoever is "uncommon."  Thank goodness I made up the difference with my etymology earnings.
   When my co-op was in bankruptcy in the 1990s, the paralegals were billing $125 an hour...I asked my doorman (who's had his share of tickets) how much he thinks we make, and he guessed $60-80 an hour...To send just one child to NYU, I'd have to work all year and save every single penny.
   Thanks for "Feel needed," but it's sadly misplaced.
