sheila19621 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 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.

Tom_McB Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Very odd- Hope to God Smithston doesn't see this- he'll have a flakey Shoher is a nutter on the Zionist expansionist side. You can buy his book on Amazon. Finkelstein an anti semite? Nope, he's Jewish but anti zionist. His website. The real mystery here is the identity of our new poster. A very clever troll? "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."The goal of Socialism is Communism- Lenin Je ne suis pas Marxiste : K Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesmithston Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 as a libertainian i dont like tto see books banned. whether they are pro zionist or pro peace in israel/palestine, whatever topic... whatever side of the political spectrum. for example i dont believe in the writings of john irving. however admire libertarians like chomsky, pilger and other writers who have championed his right to free speech and his right to write books. while the "democratic western world" would prefer to curtail free speech the libertarians will champion the freedoms which will allow the truth to come out. however the role of the media/govts is to oppress the people by limiting free speech. THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT- FREE PALESTINE "I am a Palestinian. Hath not a Palestinian eyes? Hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you p***k us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that ... the villainy you teach me, I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."

The Bobby McMahon Fan Club Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 wrong forum What the f*** has the middle east or religion got to do with Morton, now f*** off and take your bile with you.

Unless of course it conforms to their opinions. Mr McMahon seems to take pleasure in picking up on peoples opinions which don't conform with his own but in this occasion maybe if he had taken a little time to think about why I and Barbarossa posted what we did it might have became obvious that maybe the thread was originally post on the Cowshed Chat.

Oh the irony Mr Midton, I have never expressed any opinion on this subject, I was merely pointing out that certain people, yourself included seem to take a high and mighty approach on this forum and I suggest that it is you and others like you who don't like people expressing an opinion which doesn't conform with yours. As for the thread being posted on the main forum, I've no idea about that - it certainly doesn't say anywhere that I can see that it's been moved from another forum. Soccer - it's cool!!

Mr McMahon I gather the above is your opinion even if it's shared by others but in reply to your opinion, I couldn't care less what people post if it their opinion we are all entitled to our own, the only thing I dislike about the forum is when we have certain posters whom people know and they then feel the need to create an alias to have a go at other posters continually. Other than that I couldn't give a toss what anyones views are I have mine but I do listen to others and if I don't agree then I tell them, if they manage to change my mind or they prove me wrong I admit that, I don't feck off and refuse to answer the question. As for the thread being posted on the main forum, I've no idea about that - it certainly doesn't say anywhere that I can see that it's been moved from another forum. I can assure the reason myself and Barbarossa posted was because it was originally in the Cowshed Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going to confirm that I did move this thread from GMC to GN. The only way you would have known was if I 1. posted on the thread (I didn't) or 2. left a link in the original forum to the thread (I didn't.) So, not your fault as you weren't to know.
