Drudge has the text of his apology here
This is better. He acknowledges that he’s a public person and what he says does carry weight. He also appeals to the Jewish community to help him work towards healing the pain that his words caused. He also acknowledges that some in the Jewish communtiy will have difficulty forgiving him and as he says that is their right.
He seems, at least from reading this statement, to understand that it is the people he offended that he must seek forgiveness from.
If some in the Jewish community choose not to forgive.. that is their right. I do not believe that anyone should judge those who choose not to forgive him. We in the non-jewish world truly can’t know the depth of the pain that his words caused. Some will say they were only words but words can cut like a sword and inflict pain.
I’m hoping this was from his heart. I’m hoping this will at least start to help heal the pain of all those involved.
