The Atlanta Jewish Times owner and publisher now apologizes for suggesting Israeli security forces should "order a hit" on President Obama. Andrew Adler, author of a January 13 opinion piece suggested three options for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because President Obama has yet to attack Iran on Israel's behalf. Adler writes, "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?"
The column is no longer available on the newspaper's website, but read the original column on Gawker's website.
Adler plans to issue an apology in next month's Atlanta Jewish Times. Meanwhile, the Secret Service is reviewing this threat.
