Hat tip to PJ Media and Urban Infidel
The below-linked article shows videos shot by Urban Infidel in New York City. Here you can witness the 99%-ers in action. It is another example of the anti-Semitic taint within the Occupy movement.

So now Gary Fouse believes that 99% of the people of the United States are anti-Semitic? And only the richest 1% support Israel?
No, that is probably not what you MEANT to say. But you need to watch your choice of language.
No. My point is that the Occupy protesters do not represent 99% of the American people. They represent the fringe.
35% of the people in the US are anti-Semites. If they were anti-Hispanic or anti-black people like Siarlys would be foaming at the mouth to denounce them.
I wonder if Siarlys will be one of the people making money turning in their Jewish neighbors when the 35% get their way? After all you are not against them now?
Silence = Acceptance.
Siarlys is silent on this at best, applauding them at worst.
Then, like I said, you should find appropriate words to say that clearly. Maybe you could find someone in the English department at UCI to give you some tips on improving your writing style. After all, its not what you understand that matters, it is what you communicate to your audience.
Moving on to the point you have now clarified, it seems to me that ANYONE, from Sarah Palin to the OWS, who claims to speak for "The People" is indulging in hubris. The People don't all share a consensus on much of anything. At its last peak, the labor movement couldn't deliver the votes of more than 2/3 of its membership. My mother is a life-long conservative Republican, and she doesn't agree with you on much of anything.
So, for a crowd of hundreds, or even thousands, to proclaim "We ARE the 99%" is a stretch -- although a common ploy in any political mobilization for any ideology. On the other hand, when 50-60 percent of citizens express affinity or sympathy, its more than a fringe.
Findalis, is 35% your personal off hand estimate, or do you have some credible statistics to back that up?
As for what I do, it depends on many things. If Jewish descent is reckoned only through the mother, I'm off the hook, but if paternal grand-parents are considered, they may be coming for me too. Of course, they go for the communists and a few other categories BEFORE they go for the Jews.
I wouldn't even turn you in Findalis. It might be tempting, but I'm hoping to meet you in person at the Fousesquawk Reunion at Wrigley Field next summer. There is neither sentiment nor motive for a wave of anti-Semitism on that scale in America. You are like the evangelical Christians who want to feel a bit of martyrdom while enjoying their nice houses and multiple SUV's.
No, I am not extremely bothered that some fool who came out to attach themselves to the hottest drama in town said something stupid. Hitler would have been nothing if Ludendorff and Hindenburg hadn't allowed him to become what he became.
I stand corrected. It isn't 35% just 15% but that equates to 35 million adults in the US. ADL poll: Anti-Semitic attitudes on rise in America
The ADL survey found that 15 percent of Americans – nearly 35 million adults – hold deeply anti-Semitic views, an increase of 3 percent from a similar poll conducted in 2009, and matching the levels of anti-Semitic propensities recorded in the US in 2005 and 2007. Over the last decade, the highest level of anti-Semitic attitudes was reported in 2002, when an ADL poll found 17 percent of Americans harbored anti-Jewish attitudes.
But if the same number of Americans came out as anti-black or anti-Hispanic the MSM would be screaming holy murder.
I am tired of being blamed for the banking mess, the economy, the war in the Middle East (Get rid of Israel and the Arabs would be killing the Christians first then each other.), the fact that Blacks in the US are mainly poor and stupid (Have you ever heard someone speak Ebonics?), and every thing that anybody can think of not to take RESPONSIBILITY for one's action.
You can't get a job, blame yourself. Nobody told you to get a degree in Peruvian Sexual Rituals instead of a degree in Business, Engineering or Science.
Findalis isn't a nut job, she is a bitter old woman who is bewildered by events she doesn't fully grasp. I'm quite sure that an objective poll of people's true feelings would show AT LEAST 15% of the population had anti-black propensities. In fact, you seem to, which is not the same as saying that you are a racist.
All laws and official policies being equal (which they used to not be), people find reasons to hate each other. Italy and Ireland are not geographically contiguous, their respective emigrant populations were overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, but as soon as they got to America they hated each other. Its not good, but its not a crisis.
Ebonics is a myth, and I have many ways of telling kids to stop worrying about "talking white." White, after all, is a color, and talking is done with sound. "Sound don't have no color." Ebonics is a variation on the dialect of English spoken in Devon and Southampton in the early 17th century, when convicted felons from those parts were sentenced to indentured servitude in America, in lieu of public hanging. Who do you think the first people dragged over from Africa learned English from? From the people they were working alongside of in the fields.
Americans of African descent are not by nature ignorant or stupid. It is true, however, that part of the environment holding some young people back is their own parents. I know that close up.
I'm not a bitter old woman and I understand many things that you liberals just toss under the rug.
I find that what Anonymous wrote to be a compliment considering his own bigotry and hatred.
I suggest you sit on the Subway, in a courtroom, in a restaurant or any place people congregate and listen to the speech. I sometimes wonder if I need a dictionary to translate the speech. My favorite one is: Baby Daddy. I can imagine an alien landing on Earth and hearing that. The image it would bring about would be priceless.
As for the original concept of anti-Semitism at the Occupy movement. It has spun greater violence:
Police Investigate Anti-Semitic Arson, Vandalism In Midwood.
Midwood is my old neighborhood. And this happened on the 73rd Anniversary of Kristallnicht.
It is 1938 and Kristallnicht has happened. Can another Holocaust be next?
For the record, I am not the same anonymous that posts vaguely anti-semitic remarks on here at times. I hardly ever comment at all, actually. Just an observer that decided to step in and make sure everyone understood what a pathetic bigot Findalis is.
OK, you're not a bitter old woman. You're still not a nut job, nor a pathetic bigot. You are, in my seldom humble opinion, wrong.
And I'm not a liberal.
In the last several years I have ridden subways in New York, Chicago, and DC, and the bus system in Milwaukee. I've heard all the kind of language you insinuate. There is plenty about it that bothers me. I have had to shut down a table of yelling teen-agers by telling them point blank "Ain't no n-----s in this club." (That would be a Boys and Girls Club. I was more explicit in my choice of words, but Gary has requested not to spell out the word on his blog.)
However, none of those experiences lines me up politically with the perspective Findalis has offered here from time to time.
