US: Jewish publisher who suggested Israel kill Obama resigns
Published: 01.24.12, 07:11 / Israel News

The owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times Andrew Adler announced his resignation following an editorial piece he wrote in which he suggests that Israel consider assassinating US President Barack Obama in order to prevent Iran from attacking Israel.

The article sparked outrage within the Jewish community in the US. Adler later published an apology in which he regretted ever writing the piece.
