(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - After the White House criticized the purchase by Jews of apartments near Jerusalem's Old City, Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "It is better to know the material before deciding to take such a stance....Arabs in Jerusalem are free to purchase apartments in the western [part of the] city and no one is arguing against it....I have no intention of telling Jews they can't buy apartments in east Jerusalem. This is private property and an individual right. There cannot be discrimination - not against Jews and not against Arabs....No one stole those houses or confiscated the property. Arabs are selling houses to Jews and Jews are selling houses to Arabs."
