The article, with the headline “What would you do?” sparked a huge backlash and led to a Secret Service investigation into Mr. Adler.
This article presented three options for Israel's efforts to deal with Iran's nuclear weapons suspicions. The first was to launch a pre-emptive strike against Hamas and Hezbollah. The second was a direct attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The third one is:
The current vice president will take over and be deemed unfriendly to Israel by US-based Mossad operatives for forcefully ordering that US policy includes helping to eliminate the Jewish state's enemies. Give me permission to remove the president. ..
In response to the backlash, Adler later apologized, calling himself a “stupid” and saying he “deeply regrets” writing the article.
