| #4 ...the apology must either be a lie or she is not the master she was assumed to be. TW they are not mutually exclusive positions. She DID lie AND she is NOT a master of anything. |

| #3 “Last week, I upset a lot of people by suggesting Zionists saw themselves as “chosen”. My words were badly chosen and poorly used.” Given that words are the sole tools of Ms Orr's trade, a trade for which she is being paid extraordinarily well on the assumption that she is a master of her craft, the apology must either be a lie or she is not the master she was assumed to be. Either way, the thing which should happen but won't is that she should either be demoted to the reporting pool or be summarily fired. But the editors of the Guardian are also anti-Zionist antisemites, so the apology is a mere pro forma, fooling absolutely nobody. |

| #2 The release of 1027 terrorist prisoners by Israel in exchange for one Israeli is evidence of the Jewish state’s racism (or feeling of supremacy), a racism embedded in Judaism itself. ... “Last week, I upset a lot of people by suggesting Zionists saw themselves as “chosen”. My words were badly chosen and poorly used.” Ok, how about you rewrite that for us so we can see what you "really" meant. Another "I was misunderstood!" tactic. Where have we seen this before? |

| #1 Who needs an apology from an ethical/intellectual cripple like Ms Orr? |
