...many individual investors hold GM shares either directly or through mutual funds that this will affect consumers who own a piece of GM. That was not an issue for Chrysler because it had no trading shares. The public had to watch GM struggle over the last two years to hold a price of $40, then $30, $20, $10, and finally just $2. The difference between Chrysler's demise and GM's is like the difference of a house burning down in the Wyoming wilderness versus a skyscraper on fire in Manhattan. Chrysler was never what GM was for many years...
...plague," of course, is also boosted by a tendency to hold France's Jews responsible for Israel's actions: anti-Semitic attacks here tend to spike during outbreaks of violence between Israelis and Palestinians. Prasquier noted the "disturbing surge of [anti-Semitic] acts in January, due to the war in Gaza."

Attendees, about two thirds of whom were Asian American, were divided over the importance...
...negotiation the group can change - that it can moderate both its goals and the means it uses to achieve them. Ironically, the Israeli government once considered Hamas quite moderate. In the late 1980s, when the Israelis were primarily concerned with Arafat's secular-nationalist terrorism, they allowed Hamas to hold rallies and appear on television, even as they banned the PLO. So if Hamas, in Israel's view, was moderate once, could it moderate itself again? The group's founding charter - which brims with anti-Semitism and rules out conceding any historically Palestinian land - doesn't exactly fill one with...
