Israel refuses to say sorry
Jerusalem - Israel declined on Friday to make a public apology demanded by Wellington after two members of the Jewish state's Mossad intelligence agency were convicted of trying to fraudulently obtain a New Zealand passport.

"We will not make public statements beyond those (made) on the subject by the foreign minister," a spokesperson for the ministry said.

Foreign Minister Sylvan Shalom said on Thursday he "regretted" that New Zealand suspended high-level contacts with Israel after the two alleged spies were sentenced to six years in prison.

1. Israel is used to not saying sorry.

They think they can piss on the rest of the world, and then moan when no one likes them.

2. Honestly, Sir

4. I can...
The French did, even though it took a while. NZ broke off diplomatic ties with France back in 1985 after two French agents bombed the Rainbow Warrior, and the ties between both countries were only resumed again in 1995...
