Atlanta Jewish Times publisher resigns after calling for Obama assassination

I am thankful that he did resign. There is no way that these comments cannot be taken seriously. His comments were unnecessary and dangerous. We don't know how many unstable people will try to find a way to hurt our President.

The publisher of a Jewish newspaper has resigned amid intense pressure after writing a column suggesting that Israel consider assassinating President Barack Obama.

Andrew Adler, owner and publisher of Atlanta Jewish Times, wrote an editorial January 13th suggesting the assassination would be among Israel's options in dealing with a hostile Iran equipped with nuclear weapons.

In his column Adler laid out what he said were three options available to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in countering the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program.

One of the options was to "give the go-ahead for U.S.-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."

He continued, "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?"
