‘My bad’: Apology not accepted for State Dept. Official’s pathetic anti-Israel tweet

Saturday evening, Stengel sent out a tweet to the State Department saying, “Critical for a full, credible and unimpeded intl investigation of crash. Urge Russia to honor it’s [sic] commitment,” incongruously signed #UnitedForGaza.

Twitter followers surmised this was nonsense, that his hashtag subconsciously expressed his true sentiments, and that a mistake of this severity required several steps and was not to be forgiven disingenuously. They responded angrily with the following caustic remarks, gathered by Twitchy.com:
