"EXPLANATORY NOTE FROM COLUMNIST WILDA RODRÍGUEZ: I deeply regret that my writing is interpreted as anti-Semitic. My path is clear. Prejudice and racial or religious hostility have never been part of it. I can understand the psychic reaction of some to the mere use of the Jewish word. But the intention is not to provoke offense, but to contribute to public discussion. With that clear, I apologize to those who in good faith have felt hurt by my political allusion. I do not have and will never intend to aggravate them."
