Augstein does not have a “free pass” from the Wiesenthal Center, Cooper told The Jerusalem Post. “It has been nearly a month since we put the issue on the table. The key question has not been answered. Will he recognize what he said and apologize to the Jewish world and his readers. If he does not, the only question is what motivates his anti- Semitism,” the rabbi said. Cooper flatly denied to the Post a DPA wire service item that said the center is backtracking from its sharp criticism of Augstein. http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?id=299007
