You will recall that two weeks ago, Amnesty International's Finnish representative, Frank Johansson, called Israel a 'scum state.'

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Apology not accepted.
Up yours!
Carl, Johansson's apology is typical of the weasel that he is. It's not until the 3rd paragraph that he actually apologizes to the ambassador. His initial "apology" is all-too-typically for being "offensive", and it was addressed to "those who had been offended". He repeats this crap in the 4th paragraph.
Thus, I call bullshit on his sincerity. He's apologetic only because the heat is a bit too much for him. He wasn't expecting to be the target of criticism.
He's still little more than a Jew-hating Euro-weenie.
He revealed a deep bias that makes him unsuitable for his job.
Apologizing for revealing the bias is quite useless without a change of heart. This can only come about from gaining a new understanding and he needs to detail that.
