Group calls Stone apology 'insufficient'

The Anti-Defamation League has called Oliver Stone's apology for his controversial remarks about Jews "insufficient".

The director apologised earlier this week for complaining to The Sunday Times about the "Jewish domination of the media". He also said that Hitler did more damage to the country of Russia than he did to the Jews.

"In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret," Stone said in a statement released on Monday.

However, the ADL has argued that Stone's apology "stops short and is therefore insufficient", according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Abraham Foxman, the ADL's national director, continued: "While he now admits that Jews do not control Hollywood, the media and other industries, he ignores his assertion that Jews are '... the most powerful lobby in Washington' and that 'Israel has f**ked up United States foreign policy'. This is another conspiratorial anti-Semitic canard that Mr Stone needs to repudiate."
