A resident tour guide told us that Harlem residents are really upset that eminent domain for a non-govt purpose would displace the current owners. They see the Columbia action as the elites vs. the "little people".
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

I wonder how many will not give and how much money they will lose. If it is too much they can always beg the Saudis for it.
They invited Mahmud Ahmadinejad as lecturer at Columbia University, no?
They have the Palestinian official Rashid Khalidi as Edward Said Professor, no?
Isn't that enough since years already? Who is paying for this kind of teaching?
