Dangerous Threat to Obama 3-27-2012

27, March 2012                         Dangerous Threat to Obama

The stunning and shocking silence of the US mainstream media over an incendiary column calling for the assassination of President Obama is difficult to comprehend. The Jewish publisher and editor of the Atlantic Times, Andrew Adler, displeased with Obama’s failure to pledge unconditional support to Israel’s hawkish policies towards Iran, called on the Mossad, Israel’s secret police, to launch a mafia style assassination attack on President Obama. Adler argued that the removal of Obama would be good for Israel because the more –pro-Israel, compliant, Vice-President Joseph Biden, would become president. Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League admitted that Adler’s views are also shared by extremist elements within the Jewish community.

The threat against Obama should be taken seriously given Israel’s penchant for such thuggish activities. Remember the Lavon Affair, a botched up attack on Egyptian, American and British owned businesses in an attempt to shift the blame on the Moslem Brotherhood and create instability in Egypt. In 2005, the surviving Mossad agents were officially honored with a certificate of appreciation by the then Israeli President. More recently, Iranian scientists have been gunned down to derail its nuclear program.

We should heed the advice of foreign policy experts such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, who argued recently on Fareed Zakaria’s GPS program, that US & Israeli interests are not aligned. “We should divorce our special relationship with Israel – this marriage benefits Israel to the detriment of US interests.”
