Andrew Adler, 'Atlanta Jewish Times' Publisher, Apologizes For Obama Assassination Comments

[Galraedia]

Andrew Adler, the owner of local publication the Atlanta Jewish Times, has apologized after suggesting that assassinating President Barack Obama is an option that should be considered by the Israeli government.

As reported by Gawker, Adler's article, written earlier this month, describes the urgency in protecting the Israeli people from threats such as Hamas and Hezbollah and argues that there are essentially only three options available: attack Hamas, beat back Hezbollah, or assassinate Obama.

From Adler's column, which is not available online, but which Gawker uploaded to the web:

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?

Another way of putting "three" in perspective goes something like this: How far would you go to save a nation comprised of seven million lives ... Jews, Christians and Arabs alike?

You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table.

1. Where is the American Outrage?

So where is the outrage? If this AJT publisher was a Muslim, he'd be in Gitmo already and he would never be seen or heard from again! But he's Jewish, so we'll go easy on him, as long as he says he's sorry! This is an outrage, an absolute OUTRAGE! Is he an American Citizen? Maybe, in name only, but his FIRST loyalty is certainly CLEAR!!! But as long as he's sorry... and as long as he's not a Muslim... those are the most important things, right?
And where is the FBI in all this? They're "investigating"! Do we really have "US-embedded Mossad agents" who Israel could really give the green light to for committing such a heinous crime? What the HELL are they doing here in the US? What is the planned purpose for them being here? Are we afraid to investigate them and get them out of the country, because we might ALL be branded as anti-semitics? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???

3. What a schmuck.

This will be used as cannon fodder against Jews for years to come. This man's "opinion/suggestion" is, of course how we all think and believe.

His remarks are illegal, IMO, and are on the way to treason.

4. That's the poisonous thing about bigoted stereotypes.

They stay around because, every once in a while, some asshole goes and actually plays it straight.

Which is, if you think about it, statistically inevitable.

5. Sadly, you are absolutely correct.

Welcome.
