Can you apologize for someone else? That’s a pretty hollow apology.

It reminds me of when Pat Morita was hired as a stand up comic for a Pearl Harbor reunion. He started off by say, “We are really sorry for messing up your harbor.” It was hilarious because he had nothing to do with it. He spent the war in a Shriner’s Hospital as a child and then a Japanese relocation camp. This man apologizing for anything was ludicrous just as Dahl’s children apologizing for their father.

What's even more interesting is if you scroll down the article to find out WHAT "anti-semitic remarks" were actually SAID by Dahl himself, its a statement from 1983 where he stated that Jewish people can "provoke animosity" from others, and an article he wrote in 1990 where he ADMITTED that he had "become anti-Semitic" himself.

So basically it would be along the lines of Bill Maher's kids apologizing for him making "anti-religious comments" years after he's dead.
