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.

God, fucking people and their fucking politics. 
Isn't their supposed to be freedom of press or something? How can a book get banned? That's like The Geography Club getting banned in a lot of places. It's just stupid. If you don't like it, than don't read it. DUH.

People are rarely happy. Most the time, they are unsatisfied because they want something. When people get what they want, they are happy for a short time. Then they become used to it and are merely content, until they want something else, whereupon they go back to being unsatisfied.

Don't trust these bots, but at least it can spawn conversation so I will at least not move it.
Anyways I just find it hilarious that it has its argument go BACKWARDS in time. Usually people will put the things that happened in the past first so they can build off them, but reading this article, it's like what happened on the fourth of July spawned the events in May and April, lol.

You used the word "spawn" twice.
Either you're a salmon, or, more probably, you aren't.
Neither is relevant...
