Jewish Newspaper in Atlanta Apologises for Obama 'hit' Column

Andrew Adler, a writer for Atlanta Jewish Times has raised many questions in regards to his article 'What would you do?' where he suggested that a "hit" on Obama would be a possible option for saving Israel. Chris McGreal investigates this further in his article: 'Atlanta Jewish Times owner says sorry for Obama hit column'- 21st January 2012.
Adler explained to McGreal, that he wrote this article in order to get a reaction from the newspaper's readers and provided different scenarios, a "hit" on Obama being one of them, "in order to preserve Israel's existence". However, Adler hints that a "hit" on Barack Obama may have been discussed by Israel's most inner circles.
Adler argues that his passion for Israel allows him to question just how far one would go to save a nation. He goes on to stress that the idea of assassinating the U.S. president is "unfathomable and unthinkable"  and he ensures the public that this was not what he meant.
Adler has promised to write a retraction to the column, preventing further problems.
