    Jerusalem – Israel’s official Holocaust memorial has asked Amazon to stop selling literature on its site that denies the genocide of 6 million Jews during World War II and otherwise promotes anti-Semitism.

    Yad Vashem’s director of libraries Robert Rozett says he has dispatched a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos offering his assistance to “curb the spread of hatred.”

    Rozett says Sunday that Yad Vashem has approached Amazon before on the subject but the internet retailing giant insisted it would not halt sales of offensive and inciting material, citing freedom of information. Rozett says he hoped that given the recent spike in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States, particularly a vandalism attack on a Jewish cemetery near St. Louis, Amazon would reconsider its position.

    He says he has yet to hear back.

    If this holds true then Amazon shld be ashamed of themselves but what is Israels tremendous concern? Your people were part of the conspiracy anyway. You corroberated with the Nazi regime and could have saved thousands of Jews and you didnt. Im not sure it hurts you that much. Its just for the public to gain pity. Its a very poor repentance for your tragic role in the holocaust.

    Amazon has to be neural. If they get in the business of censorship, they will have time for little else.

    #1 is right because he read it in the books Amazon is selling. It doesn’t really affect me because I own all the banks and money in the world sms share it with all the hundreds of my relatives who really weren’t murdered in Auschwitz but are in hiding in the Antarctic.
