Oh, yes. He should have apologized, only in these words:

I'm sorry you're messianic and obsessive. I'm sorry you are trying to intimidate us. I'm sorry you're an idiot, and that your mother should get a refund from the doctor that delivered you. I'm also sorry we let you in the country even once. Please forgive me, Israelis, for even dealing with this walking pile of Botox.

The way the Administration reacted to the remarks was way over the top and Israel walked it back to keep the lid on.

They may have bigger fish frying (Iran action) to keep Obama from escalating against them at this time.

Deputy Transportation Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) fired back at US pressure Wednesday, maintaining that there should have been no need for Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon to apologize for his harsh criticism of US Secretary of State John Kerry, in which Ya'alon referred to Kerry as "obsessive and messianic"...

"I congratulate the Defense Minister on his courage; what he said was right." Hotovely stated, in an interview with Arutz Sheva. "The American stance is disconnected from the reality of the situation in the Middle East. They are trying to force a solution on us which is unacceptable to most members of the [ruling party] Likud...."

"...and besides, Kerry didn't give us any potatoes"

“I’m sorry you’re messianic and obsessive. I’m sorry you are trying to intimidate us. I’m sorry you’re an idiot, and that your mother should get a refund from the doctor that delivered you. I’m also sorry we let you in the country even once. Please forgive me, Israelis, for even dealing with this walking pile of Botox.”

Excellent! That’s exactly how the left “apologies” when they’re caught in something wrong. “I’m sorry you misunderstood my intent!” That’s exactly how they apologize. It’s like when they say, “I accept full responsibility” when they have zero intention of paying any price whatsoever for their mistakes.
