TechnoratiIn most translations of the Bible, the “synagogue of Satan” is twice literally described as those “who say that they are Jews and are not.”
Graham, who is now 90, has yet to comment himself on the latest recorded remarks and many expect for him not to as they only mildly criticize some Jewish leaders and also include praise for another – the late Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, who Graham called the "cleverest and most brilliant" of the rabbis.
Graham’s 1972 remarks, revealed in 2002, however, led to a public apology from the retired evangelist, who said he had no recollection of the remarks.
"Although I have no memory of the occasion, I deeply regret comments I apparently made in an Oval Office conversation with President Nixon ... some 30 years ago," he stated.
Shortly after, ADL said it had accepted the apology, particularly noting Graham’s statement that "racial prejudice, anti-Semitism or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in the human mind or heart."
"These words, unlike his previous words uttered 30 years ago, are full of sadness and repentance. This is the Billy Graham we thought we knew,” Foxman had noted.
In the 1972 recording, Graham complained about Jewish domination of the media and also said that he had many Jewish friends.
“But they don't know how I really feel about what they are doing to this country..." Graham added.
