President Donald Trump’s pick for ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is set to apologize during his confirmation hearing on Thursday before a Senate committee for derogatory comments he made about liberal Jews year during the presidential campaign, Times of Israel reports.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that the 57-year-old Long Island native’s representatives told Democratic Senator Benjamin Cardin, of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that he will express his regret for calling – in an op-ed last year for Arutz Sheva – supporters of the liberal Jewish group J Street “worse than kapos,” in reference to Jews who aided Nazis during the Holocaust.

An infamous liberal Jew like George Soros wasn’t a kapo he was a Nazi collaborator.
Why apologize? גדול המחטיאו יותר מההורגו
He didn’t refer to all liberal Jews as Kapos. He said that J street is worth than Kapos because the Kapos were under Nazi rule with Nazi guns pointed at their heads. But what excuse does J Street have for undermining Israel from the comfort of their couches in America?He should not apologize. He is 100% correct.
Why is he apologizing? He’s 100% right.
“כל שנעשה רחמן על האכזרים, לסוף נעשה אכזר על רחמנים” (ר’ אלעזר, מדרש תנחומא לפרשת מצורע) .
As many a great person has said, “it’s always an aveira to lie, but not always a mitzvah to tell the truth.”
The only reason he should apologize is because they’re much worse than kapos – the kapos were forced or at least thought they’ll live by betraying their brothers. The wretches of j street and the like, have no vested interest other than promoting evil itself. George Tzoros is evil incarnate and so are his followers.
Why to apologize? Did the liberals ever apologize for making fun of ivanka and steve bannon? No need the title fits them well.
He is smart. He needs to get nominated. After that he will be able to destroy these self hating Jews.
We Jews are all brothers. If some are evil we need to educate them and bring them back to Torah
