		<description><![CDATA[Benjamin Netanyahu's bold rebuke of Obama's push for segregation in Jerusalem. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #222222;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/benjamin-netanyahu-on-his-relati.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-242521" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/benjamin-netanyahu-on-his-relati-450x330.jpg" alt="benjamin-netanyahu-on-his-relati" width="310" height="227" /></a>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told “Face the Nation” on Sunday, October 5 that preventing Jews from living and building in mostly-Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem would mean a policy of &#8220;ethnic purification” that is unacceptable in democratic societies. In so doing, Netanyahu once again showed his mastery of nuance in American politics &#8212; a nuance, as it turns out, that even American presidential candidates do not always recognize.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">Appearing on the CBS-TV interview program opposite anchor Bob Schieffer, Netanyahu strongly defended the recent purchase by Jewish families of apartments from Arabs in Jerusalem&#8217;s Shiloach neighborhood, as well as the Israeli government&#8217;s plans to build homes for Jews and Arabs in the city&#8217;s Givat Hamatos section.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">Netanyahu told Schieffer that he was baffled by President Obama&#8217;s criticism of the latest Jerusalem developments, since the idea of barring members of a particular ethnic group from living in specific areas is clearly against American values. He said that neither the United States nor Israel should ever have a policy of enforcing &#8220;ethnic purification.&#8221;</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">That phrase brings to mind a generation-old controversy in American political history.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">The year was 1976. Jimmy Carter, the former governor of Georgia, was locked in a tight race for the Democratic presidential nomination. The hot issues of the day included the busing of African-American children to mostly-white schools and the building of low-income housing in higher-income neighborhoods. A significant number of Democratic primary voters in some states were strongly opposed to both.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">When a reporter asked Carter about the housing issue, Carter evidently tried to appeal to conservative white voters by declaring: &#8220;I see nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained. I would not force racial integration on a neighborhood by government action.&#8221;</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">That comment ignited a firestorm of questions from reporters. At first, Carter stood his ground. At a news conference in Indianapolis two days later, he reiterated: &#8220;I see nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained in Indianapolis. I have nothing against a community trying to maintain the ethnic purity of their neighborhoods.&#8221;</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">By the next day, the condemnations were coming thick and fast. Seventeen black members of Congress and the National Urban League denounced Carter&#8217;s statements.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">Carter buckled. He publicly apologized, announced his endorsement of employment legislation that the Congressional Black Caucus had been promoting, and declared: &#8220;I don&#8217;t stand behind any sort of connotation of ethnic purity. I don&#8217;t want any community to maintain its ethnic purity. If someone from a different ethnic group wants to go into a neighborhood, I would fight for that person&#8217;s right to do that.&#8221;</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">Nowadays, Carter is much more likely to be seen hugging a leader of Hamas, than standing on the same political side as an Israeli prime minister. After all, Carter has authored an entire book accusing Israel of &#8220;apartheid,&#8221; and has even publicly claimed that &#8220;obviously the Palestinians have a worse time than the Rwandans.&#8221; (Not so obvious to those who know that one million people were slaughtered in the 1994 Rwanda genocide.)</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">But Carter&#8217;s amended declaration speaks for itself: &#8220;If someone from a different ethnic group wants to go into a neighborhood, I would fight for that person&#8217;s right to do that.&#8221;</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">The new Jewish residents of Jerusalem&#8217;s Shiloach and Givat HaMatos neighborhoods no doubt appreciate that principle, regardless of who is the person articulating it.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">And Prime Minister Netanyahu was spot-on to use the argument to a nationwide American audience in rejecting the Obama administration&#8217;s latest criticism.</span></p>
