Israel Should Consider Assassinating Obama

Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, a
weekly newspaper serving Atlanta's Jewish community, devoted his January
13, 2012 column to the thorny problem of the U.S. and Israel's
diverging views on the threat posed by Iran.

Basically Israel has three
options, he wrote: Strike Hezbollah and Hamas, strike Iran, or "order a
hit" on Barack Obama. Either way, problem solved!

Here's how Adler laid out "option three" in his list of scenarios facing
Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu (the column, which was forwarded
to us by a tipster, isn't online, but you can read a copy here):

Three, 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.

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.

It's hard to tell whether or not Adler is just some crank. But the
Atlanta Jewish Times, which he purchased in 2009, appears to be a real
community newspaper.

It was founded in 1925 and, according to Wikipedia,
claims a circulation of 3,500 and staff of five. To judge from its web
site, it's a going concern.

A nervous Adler told me over the phone that he wasn't advocating Obama's
assassination by Mossad agents. "Of course not," he said.

But do you think Israel should consider it an option? "No."

But do you believe that Israel is in fact considering the option in its
most inner circles? "No. Actually, no. I was hoping to make clear that
it's unspeakable—god forbid this would ever happen. I take it you're
quoting me?"

Yes. "Oh, boy."

When I asked Adler why, if he didn't advocate assassination and didn't
believe Israel was actually considering it, he wrote a column saying he
believed that the option was "on the table," he asked for a minute to
compose himself and call me back.

He did a few moments later, and said,
"I wrote it to see what kind of reaction I was going to get from
readers."

And what was the reaction? "We've gotten a lot of calls and emails."

Nothing from the Secret Service, though. Yet.

UPDATE: Adler has told JTA that he "regrets" the column and plans to
publish an apology. Oh, and the Secret Service says it will "make all
appropriate, investigative follow-up in regard to this matter,"
according to ABC News.

Holy Crap, that's some deep shit.

fuck, wonder if it will happen.

hopefully doesn't lead to WW3 , if it does, everyones fucked.

Shits bout to hit the fan

either way, no matter what happens. we are all fucked. i dont even bother following shit like this anymore just cause the fact that I know were screwed either way. New New New world orderrrr.

this is just some guy creating bull shit propaganda about Israel using that an option? this has basically a 1% chance of happening Israel has been our #1 alias for at least 35-40 years now. With all the aid, help in war they owe their appreciation of freedom to (US). I highly doubt that it is really even an option just a easy way to cause turmoil in a newspaper.
