The Lethal Dove . The Lobby didn't like it. The paper apologised

The ADL and CAMERA immediately unleashed the Israel Lobby’s flak machine; they wouldn’t tolerate such favourable representation of what the American Jewish Committee calls ‘The Terror Flotilla‘. It did not take long for the editors to cave and issue a grovelling apology. It is now time for you to register your opinion.

  1. I am missing something here, or this writer is misrepresenting what actually occured. I see no evidence of "a groveling apology" Cartoons and editorials in a newspaper do not always express the same view. I do not see how the editorial was a groveling apology.
