I expressed on television my sadness at his condition and my warm regard for him as a person. He was my host for a luncheon in Jerusalem some years ago. I had the privilege of meeting with him in his office and praying with him about a year ago," Robertson wrote in the two-page letter.
"More recently, I was a member of a delegation that met with him at the Israeli Embassy when he was last in the United States. To me, he is a kind, gracious, and gentle man. He was carrying an almost insurmountable burden of making decisions for his nation," Robertson added.
"Regrettably, few, if any, of these heartfelt sentiments were carried by the news media in America or by the news media in Israel. However, I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel for remarks I made at the time concerning the writing of the holy prophet Joel and his view of the inviolate nature of the land of Israel," Robertson said.

Got to love Robertson even his appology he goes and blames everyone else but himself.
Boohooo Pat you say something beyond contempt and the press picks it up, but you expected instead that they showed how much "love" you had for the man.
Boohooo Pat you say something very vile and foul, but then blame the Prophet Joel, because you would never believe that, but you felt this urge to say vile things and use Joel as an excuse instead of send heartfelt warmth and good wishes out.
Gee, Pat who put the words in your mouth? Who made you say those vile things Pat? Aren't you a grown man and supposedly this great wise sage, who is supposed to pass on Jesus' teachings of love, peace and salvation....... not spew hatred, self righteousness and pretend to know what God's motives are?
Fuckin hypocritical, spoiled little man, who is run by power and greed. You're a perfectly great example for what Christ taught against people being.
