1. Israel-Firster?
Vivi ,   Germany   (01.21.12)
I think it's only fair to call Mr. Adler an Israel-Firster. I'm just wondering if he is the only one? May be.
2. This guy is insane and should be arrested
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (01.21.12)
First and foremost he should put the blame on Israels weak leaders. Israel is a sovereign nation and should do what ever it takes to protect Israel. If the world shuns Israel because of it's willingness to protect it citizens then so be it. It is just a shame that some American Jewish leader and Israeli leaders blames Obama for his unwillingness to go to war and get American soldiers killed over intelligence that could be flawed like Iraq. He has got my vote for keeping us out of war. If Israel wants to fight a war of attrition with Iran i will vote for that as long as America doesn't shed a drop of blood or spend a dollar. Israel should put pressure on the Chinese and Russians & Europeans I am sure they would help.
3. Hilarious...we are going insane my friends.
Al   (01.21.12)
Obama will be voted out of office I hope. As soon as he leaves he will be forgotten. The American people will see the light that he is a threat to their own way of life. As to Adler and all those in the media, they are all competing for eyeballs, so he just had his 15 nansec of fame.
5. Adler - please put your aluminum foil helmet back on
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (01.21.12)
6. Some thoughts are best left unspoken
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.21.12)
7. Going too far
Paul ,   London, England   (01.21.12)
Ynet, what is wrong with you, I could bear, you changing your mind about the hit on the iranian scientist, whether it was CIA or Mossad but this article is just ridiculous. you seem to do anything to get readers .... I hardly ever read positive things that happen in the world. as they say, a frightened population is easy to control. on which side are you on? is it only the english version that is written by 'brothers grimm' cause my finance reads the hebrew version and considers it as a respectable paper. .... lost in translation, ha? .....
8. yeah, but now that you've mentioned it,
informed source   (01.21.12)
'the power of suggestion is uncanny'...
9. Not a option ... period
Galut ia ,   S e l a h   (01.21.12)
I may not like Obama ... but even the thought of that is absolutly wrong !
10. Mr.Adler
Rachel   (01.21.12)
What you said was absolutely reprehensible,and thanks a lot for giving the antisemites of this world even more ammunition to use against our people.
11. total nonsense
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (01.21.12)
I am not a fan of Mr Barak Hussein, Obama. but there is no room for such treaths against him. We must defeat his ill policies trough the elections, not by violence or incitements.
12. Who is this idiot,he needs to be put into a mental asylum
Dany Limon ,   Israel   (01.21.12)
This guy is mental,he has caused us enormous damage.
13. This is a Federal offence in the USA. Jail not insanity plea
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.21.12)
14.  @1When can we expect apologists to condemn Islamist terror?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.21.12)
The Jewish community was forthright and unequivocal in their condemnation of this lunatic. Over to you.!
15. Hit on the President
Rhonda ,   Chicago, Illinois   (01.21.12)
This is outrageous. I may not always care for the President at all times but even in those instances I wish him no harm. This only proves there are lunatics in all camps. I hope the Secret Service are on their way to pick this guy up. It's against the law to threaten the president. Not to mention that it makes the Jewish people look bad.
16. Mr. Adler....
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.21.12)
sounds like his mind has fallen victim to our unusually warm weather this winter. Unfortunately, it is exactly his kind of BS that brings out the Jew-haters by the droves.
17. A BETTER IDEA ,OPTION FOUR
LAWRENCE BADEN FOUL ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.21.12)
Obama should resign ,or be voted out of office ,and he should take up a new career as a soul singer. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE .
18. Atlanta Jewish Times owner Andrew Adler
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (01.21.12)
Adler is forgetting a few items in his theory and options. He is forgetting that he is using incitement which could put him in a precarious legal and life situation. Two, all out attack on Iran could have percussions in different directions. Even a hit on Iran's president wouldn't suffice as another fanatic would take over. While I agree that Obama's methods for dealing with Iran have been filled with molasses, caution should still be used and any further actions should be well thought out. Iran is the idiot that has his finger on the button and we must be very careful.
19. Adler Is An Enemy of Israel
leo ,   nyc   (01.21.12)
Surely Mr Adler knew this would stir up trouble against Israel and maybe against Jews in the USA. Does he have a secret agenda to gain support for Obama by writing such an insane statement? That could be the only possible reason for such stupidity-if not Mr Adler is simply a fool or worse-and certainly no friend of Israel.
20. To #4 above
JJ ,   BFN, South Africa   (01.21.12)
I could no have said it better! Get rid of all the homosexuals in your country. The time has come for Israel to repent. Return to the Most High in repentance. That will not only solve your problems but also the rest of the worlds problems. Depend on the Elohim of Yisrael and not on the USA for your protection...
21. Unfortunately, according to some versions...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.21.12)
it was the Mossad who took out J.F.Kennedy due to his unrelenting pressure at the time on David Ben-Gurion to allow thorough inspections of the Dimona nuclear facility.
22. that is disgusting
mike cohen ,   usa   (01.21.12)
you are a tratior to your country Andrew.. Your country comes 1st and foremost over a foreign country... if you do not like it here then leave.
23. I'm shocked, too
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (01.21.12)
I have never been an Obama fan. Think it most unlikely I will ever be, as neither the good of Israel nor that of the U.S. seems to temper his judgment. I'll be glad when he leaves office. But I certainly don't want him dead. Especially I would not want him assassinated. He is weak, ill-informed and inexperienced, not evil.
24. Knock Knock! Mr. Adler, were from the Secret Service!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.21.12)
It looks like some extreme right wing Israeli lunacy has invaded the mind of Andrew Adler! Israel is fast becoming the record holder of loosing friends and spitting in the faced of our allies!
25. Rivkah, please!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.21.12)
Listen to what you are saying. Murder is one of the greatest sins that can exist. Touting, the need to murder is wrong, and on Shabbat. Punishing women with "wanton eyes"? Only God and the woman, can decide what is "wanton", and thank God, you are not on that list. I suggest you have a lot of praying, to do today. You have desecrated the Shabbat, by calling for the murder of your fellow Jew. Shame on you.
26. This is ABSOLUTELY the most disgusting suggestion Ive heard!
Alan ,   SA   (01.21.12)
27. What kind of and Idiot and Fool is this ?.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.21.12)
Jewish newspaper owner suggests Israel consider 'hit' on Obama Comment - Israel could hit Iran instead, and the US is not obligied to Hit Iran, only as a last option. This Fool and Idiot above should go and F- - k Himself- Arn.Sweden.
28. Food for thought
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.21.12)
I know the US this past decade has been in two long and bloody wars--and is almost broke--but Israel's needs must be met. I also know the US has undertaken years of diplomacy to get the Europeans on board UNSC resolutions for Iranian sanctions--and the US has used what leverage it has to prevent Russian and Chinese UNSC vetoing these resolutions---but Israel's needs must be met. It's also true that an attack on Iran could cripple the world economy, cause a much wider war in the ME, and end up finding Israel attacked from all sides---but Israel's needs must be met. Some say we're a paranoid people, bent on having others do our dirty work for us. I say, we have needs that must be met.
29. Rivkah
Marcelo ,   Sao Paulo   (01.21.12)
With your mind you would do better living in Iran itself, so no need for you to worry about "sodomy"...
30. Ridiculous & illegal
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (01.21.12)
I would absolutely like to see a new pres. in office. Obama's foreign policy is cowardly & apologetic. However, making a threat on the president's life is a federal offense. This man is deranged for suggesting murder. If Obama is not going to take the necessary military action to stop Iran, Israel will have to.
