Atlanta, GA – The owner of a Jewish newspaper in Atlanta has said he deeply regrets writing a column suggesting that Israel consider “a hit” on Barack Obama if he stands in the way of the Jewish state defending itself.
Andrew Adler told the Guardian he wrote the column in the weekly Atlanta Jewish Times “to get a reaction” from the paper’s readers.
“The headline for the column was: ‘What would you do?’ That’s what I wanted to see,” he said. “It’s got like a Dr Phil reaction: what were you thinking? I feel really bad it did that.”
The column, first brought to light by Gawker, asks readers to imagine that they are the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, confronting the threat posed by Hezbollah and Iran’s nuclear programme while also under pressure from a US president with an “Alice in Wonderland” belief in diplomacy over force.
Adler lays out what he says are the three options available to Netanyahu: attack Hezbollah and Hamas; defy the US – which is willing to let “Israel take a lethal bullet” – by striking against Iran’s nuclear facilities; or a third option.
“Three, give the go-ahead for US-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice-president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies,” Adler wrote in a column that appeared in print by not online.
“Yes, you read “three” correctly. Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel’s existence. Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don’t you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles?”
Adler went on to ask: “How far would you go to save a nation comprised of 7 million lives – Jews, Christians and Arabs alike? You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table.”
Adler said he understood why readers might interpret his writing as suggesting that Israel is seriously considering assassinating the US president but that is not what he meant.
“I don’t advocate anything,” Adler said.” “I don’t preach anything. Wasn’t calling for action, anything like that… Do i regret writing it and how I did it? Very much so and I apologize to anyone who took it differently. But in no way shape or form do I support the overthrowing [of the country] in order for Israel to do its thing.”
“No, no, no. It’s unfathomable, unthinkable,” he said, adding: “I’m definitely pro-Israel to the max.”
He says he hasn’t heard from any law enforcement officials or the Secret Service about the column.
But Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie said the agency is “aware” of the incident. “We’re conducting the appropriate investigative steps,”
Assassinating the President would be well with the capabilities of the Israeli’s . and the mind boggles at the recent history of Jews and Mossad and there is no need to go into details.. simply they are the most obnoxious race of people in the world .Persecuted and kicked out of every European country for over a thousand yrs and yet still top of the s**t heap. one might not like them but you have admire the tenacity of the bastards.!! and like all evil empires it will come to an end . and being in their opinion the chosen ones wont help them one iota .
This is a wonderful look into the mind of a jew. They are disgustingly self-centered, hive-minded, self-righteous ad self serving bastards. They are not fit to live in America, or at all as far as I’m concerned.
Fuck Isntreal and death to all jews, everywhere.

Sorry would not have done it… he should be living in Israel not the U.S. that is where his loyalties lie.
