Default Amazon touts anti-Israeli views,

On July 4, Amazon spammed its customers with advertisement of Norman Finkelstein's virulently anti-Semitic book, Image and Reality of the Israeli-Palestine Conflict. On May 30, Amazon similarly advertised Beyond Chutzpah: on the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History. I have never received any other ad from Amazon.

On April 4, in an unprecedented move, Amazon deleted all reviews of Obadiah Shoher's Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict. A few days later, Amazon forced its subsidiary Booksurge to terminate publishing contract with Shoher whose book is now available for download from www.samsonblinded.info . Google earlier banned advertising of the Samson Blinded for "unacceptable content." Shoher, indeed, is pro-Israeli, yet realistic and critical of Israeli policies.

Obadiah Shoher, an anonymous politician, abandons myths and moralizing in favor of realpolitik. He argues for raw efficiency of antiterrorist operations and shedding liberal idealism. Shoher asks inconvenient questions and gives honest answers. Amazon does not like that. Anti-Semitic lampoons by Norman Finkelstein are more to Amazon's taste.

want me to go on? cause thats just the first 30 or so.. out of 241

the only thing funnier than this is the people that are dumb enough to beilieve it..

and its thease dumb people on both sides of the fight that make it so hard to attain peace

rs on one side.. and the arabs retarded enough to beileve that coca cola deliberatly had a hidden messege in its logo that says no god no mecca.. even tho the logo was made when??! hahahahahahahaha its funny actually

it took me 3 seconds to confirm this is bs.. alot easier than confirming that some of the more well thought out anti arab ones are bs.. so ha.. thats fucked

the fact that someone took the time to go through and sign up and accept confirmation emails and paste that post all over the internet is ------- pathetic.. and now people are gonna be like "i read somewhere that.. yadda yadda yadda..." bwahahahaha this is how rumors take off
