Update: AJT Publisher Stepping Down After Assassination Column ~ Southern Jewish Life

Update: AJT Publisher Stepping Down After Assassination Column ~ Southern Jewish Life: "he Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta condemned the column and stated "a call for an immediate and public apology" was issued within days of publication. The Federation suspended its relationship with AJT -- which is independent of the Federation -- until several criteria are met "to ensure no further harm comes to our community."

The criteria include no further columns by Adler following the apology this coming week, appointment of an editor-in-chief to oversee content, convening of an advisory committee of community members and leaders and to provide guidance on any change of control of the AJT, or if there is no new editor-in-chief and advisory committee, Adler selling the AJT.

Over the weekend, Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasting aired an emotional interview with Adler where he apologized to Obama, Israel and the Atlanta Jewish community, stating he intended to generate more interest in the threat Israel faced from a nuclear Iran."
