Of course it's the Palestinian people Israel should be apologising to for continuing to steal their land. Is the Israeli ruling class divided among itself as this seems to be the only way to explain the ineptness of the announcement yesterday of more land grabbing which seemed designed to embarass its most powerful ally - the US?They do have a lot on their plaate to be worryng about - from Iran to Rachel Corrie.
Israel apologised to Joe Biden today for announcing a plan to build 1,600 homes on occupied Palestinian land during his visit, after the US vice-president launched a strongly worded attack on the planned construction in an East Jerusalem settlement.
An Israeli cabinet minister apologised for the timing of the announcement but not for its substance.

"This is a real embarrassment and now we have to express our apologies for this serious blunder."
