There has been a significant backlash to Andrew Adler's op-ed. However the response from at least one senior Jewish reporter, works hard to divert attention onto Obama's legitimate critics.

The journalist in question is Haaretz's Chemi Shalev, who writes:
In July 2003 an article by American journalist and economist, Robert Locke, was published on the VDARE website. In that article Mr. Locke called for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians – for their forcible removal from both Israel and the Occupied West Bank.
Mr. Locke’s suggestions of how that might be achieved included: the destruction of Palestinian food and water supplies (including the aerial spraying of Palestinian farmland); the banning of all economic activity; summary arrest and deportation; the use of the police and army to physically drag Palestinians from their own homes; and the blowing up of those homes (with the families still inside, if necessary).
