The classic case of a “nonapology” apology is when the allegedly contrite offender says something to the effect of “I’m so sorry that you’re upset.” Note that the speaker doesn’t actually acknowledge doing anything wrong.

AIPAC’s leaders face fundamental strategic questions unlike those they have confronted in the modern era.… Their ability to adapt to these new circumstances will define not only their future, but that of the U.S.-Israel relationship in this uncertain era.
Once an accusation this explosive becomes accepted as fact, it changes the moral status of the accused. Israelis become genocidaires. Zionists become supporters of genocide. Jews who support Israel become apologists for genocide.
What Ruffalo actually did was take a family’s business decision, an American company buying an American media conglomerate, and launder it through Israel to try and make it seem sinister.
It’s racist to hand someone a job based on skin color alone. They will be doomed to fail because representing one’s identity is not the same thing as mastering a profession.
The entertainment-industry organization said Ruffalo fused criticism of Israel with conspiratorial themes involving Jewish wealth, media ownership and concentrated power. Ruffalo called the antisemitism allegation “fundamentally dishonest.”
Ruffalo made the Ellisons’ relationship with Israel—and the nationality of an Oracle executive—a core part of his indictment of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal.
