Amazon touts anti-Israeli views,

[sheila19624]

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.

Right.

I'm an Amazon customer and never got that email.

The only thing I ever got from Amazon was a order confirmation. I've never been emailed spam by Amazon also.

in fairness, I drive a diesel van, and I get occasional emails from Amazon suggesting new book purchases based on my past acquisitions. The past emails I got were helpful, albeit tempting, but I haven't checked to see if I got spammed by this SUV driving, Israeli-hating author

well i dont know about this pero amazon was also involved in a similar controversy i think late last year or early this year. I think it had something to do with Rosa Parks eh, they were recommending some books which i think offended the african american community. Amazon's explanation was, the recommendations is not done manually by a person, i think its a program which looks for keywords like "African American" etc. tapos they recommend any book which is contains these tags (doesnt matter what genre is the book)

with regards to the middleeast conflict, its hard sometimes not to sympathize with those arab countries bordering israel. Its like david versus an arrogant golliath.
