Did Rahm Emanuel meand to say: "My father did not bring me up to believe in his hate of Arabs"

Certainly his apology while no doubt sincere includes an oxymoran statement:-

"These are not the values upon which I was raised or those of my family,"

No, children can rise above the hate that they sucked with their mother`s milk. I hope that the younger Emanuel has left his upbringing behind.

Yet, I wonder if Israel did not demand his appointment and Joe Lieberman`s continuation in his highly sensitive post. The latter is a Trojan Horse for the Democrats and indeed, America.
