Note to Andrea Mitchell: If you\’re going to challenge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expect an answer. A straight answer. One that he will be able to defend with facts and logic – not with a broad smile, with smooth, glib platitudes and lies.
From Mitchell\’s interview of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, yesterday, on MSNBC:
Mitchell:But what do you say when the President says that this [apartments inJerusalem] undercuts your commitment to peace and is poisonous to anagreement with the Palestinians?
Netanyahu:Well, I find that curious because the criticism was leveled, one, ata new neighborhood that was mixed. It had a substantial part of theapartments that apportioned, parceled out to Arabs, to Palestinians,alongside Jews. So why not have them live together? The second partof the criticism was actually baffling to me. Because it criticizedindividual Jews who bought apartments in an Arab neighborhood. Now,Jews buy apartments, private property, in Arab neighborhoods. Arabsbuy apartments in Jewish neighborhoods. And I find – that\’s theright thing to do. I mean, if I had to-
Mitchell:It\’s contested territory. It\’s territory that is supposed to benegotiated.
Netanyahu:Well, even if it is, it doesn\’t mean that you prevent an Arab fromselling property to a Jew. If I said to you in any part of the UnitedStates or the world, “Jews cannot buy apartments here”…
