As of writing this, pro-Israel groups are a little split over the statement, as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. While Florida-based Shalom International (not to be confused with the Pasadena-based Christian ministry of the same name) feared Carter’s apology was no more than a publicity stunt, the Anti-Defamation League received it more warmly.
My take? I won’t turn down an apology, no matter how small. It’s a step.
