Where is Israel again? But no matter. Amazon, probably as part of its efforts to censor books that dissent from the Leftist agenda, has always played fast and loose with the categories into which it places my books. Last year, I released The History of Jihad, a 1,400-year history of a critically important aspect of Islam, and Amazon didn’t include it in the “Islamic History” category, but instead in categories that had only a tangential relationship at best to the book’s contents, including “Radical Political Thought.”
In any case, this shows one way or another that there is immense interest in The Palestinian Delusion, which is not surprising given the fact that it is one of the only sources where you’ll get a perspective different from the one in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and all the rest of the dreary lockstep propagandists.

How to make money online: Write an in-depth book on a sensitive subject that sticks to the facts, all of which are freely available in source documents online.
Niemoller says
I of course meant that in the best way possible! Thanks Robert for doing this heroic service, as no money would actually be worth the threats you get. I/We are glad you do get some compensation to continue the good fight, the success of which is infinitely more valuable to humanity than is to you personally.
Robert Spencer says
The amount of money I get doing this is wildly exaggerated by the opposition for propaganda purposes.
Nor is this book simply a rehash of material you can find online. (None of my other books are, either, but never mind). There is a great deal in this book that will surprise many people. Vanishingly little of it can be found on the increasingly censored internet.
Our enemies can come here and pose as friends to repeat their propaganda – but it will not go unanswered.
mortimer says
I verify that much of Robert Spencer’s facts in his other books (that I have read) are not easy to find on line. I have no doubt that researching and gathering quotes and historical details relevant to the subjects would take many hundreds of hours. Robert Spencer’s spelling and grammar as well his writing style are also quite meticulous. His books are a pleasure to read (except for the depressing subject matter that is normative discriminatory, intolerant Islam).
Niemoller says
Robert, I appreciate your reply. I actually meant by “freely available in source documents” that your books are never wild conjecture or tendentious opinion that could be easily dismissed, but sound reason based directly on fundamental source evidence that you have spent countless hours assembling and explaining for the reader who otherwise may never become aware of it. At least that is what I’m expecting based on your previous books and every day on JW.

Thank you, Mr. Spencer.

About eight months ago the local Barnes and Noble had The Diary of Ann Frank in the Christian fiction section. I mentioned it to the management. He pointed out that Christian fiction and Judaism share the same shelves,, but a sign separates them, with Christian fiction being above Judaism.. I pointed out that The Diary of Ann Frank was still on the side with Christian fiction, along with a book on Judaism studies. He just shrugged his shoulders. .

Over a week before release, The Palestinian Delusion is “#1 New Release in African History” (Yes, “African”)
………………………..
Amazon may be trying to buy this book, but it doesn’t look as though it’s working…
eduardo odraude says
I’m guessing that the reason some “progressive” or perhaps Muslim employee at Amazon put Spencer’s book into the “African history” category is this: because it has been miscategorized, the book will perhaps be less likely to come up in searches for Israel-Palestine history.
eduardo odraude says
Furthermore, if Spencer’s new book turned out to be “the #1 new seller in” the Middle east category or the Israel-Palestine category, imagine how many Muslims from around the globe would get angry and protest to or send death threats to Amazon employees?
Infidel says
Use Barnes and Noble instead, and deny Amazon a monopoly : they’re big enough already
Lydia Church says
That is the time we are living in… the truth is now ‘radical political thought’!
James Brown says
It is also #784 in United States History and #10 in Israel & Palestine History. A call to Seller Support should be enough to get it taken out of the African section but I would leave it there as that orange Best Seller Badge always ups the conversion rate and brings in more sales.
