on a daily basis, the quote of Donald Trump saying a-little-trolling "Israel has hypnotized the world! May Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States" goes through my head. What quote is stuck in yours?

I’ve always understood it as—saying you’re sorry is a statement of shame/regret/idk; saying I apologize is more an emotionally neutral statement of like, recognizing that you acted transgressively/unfairly/whatever. E.g. I’m not sorry that I slapped you in the face because you called my girlfriend a whore, but I apologize because I understand now that it was an inappropriate way to react. Idk.
