| Description | Israel should send Mossad agents to assassinate President Barack Obama because of his anti-Israel policies, the owner of a US Jewish newspaper wrote in an article that drew widespread condemnation on Friday.
Andrew Adler, the publisher of The Atlanta Jewish Times, wrote a column that appeared in his newspaper on January 13 in which he argued killing the president might be justified because he posed a threat to the Jewish state.
He also told the Internet site Gawker, which first reported on his column, that he had published his piece to see what kind of reaction he’d get from readers but that he in no way endorsed such action or thought Israel was considering it.
According to JTA, the many calls and emails he received were overwhelmingly negative.
Jewish organizations on Saturday said no apology would suffice, condemning Adler for his statement.
The American Jewish Committee expressed its “total revulsion,” saying the idea that anyone, especially a Jewish newspaper publisher, would consider assassinating Obama was “shocking beyond belief.”
