interesting email

I received an interesting email on my gmail address. It was about a banned website - hey, yes, google, yahoo and others really DO censor/ban websites (in google's case only from AdWords apparently).

I haven't read through most of the weblog (haven't had time for that yet) but it's controversy seems big-enough for me to want to give it a larger audience (as long as it provokes thought, why not?)


Anyway, here's the email I got:

Hi. My name is John Doe[I changed the name]. Perhaps we have met online, but more probably you don't know me from Adam. I monitor blogs for SamsonBlinded, and came across your post.

I'd like to welcome you to look at Obadiah Shoher's blog. Obadiah - an anonymous Israeli politician - writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.
Shoher is equally critical of Jewish and Muslim myths, and advocates political rationalism instead of moralizing.
Google banned our site from the AdWords, Yahoo blocked most pages, and Amazon deleted all reviews of Obadiah's book, Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict.
Nevertheless, 170,000 people from 78 countries read the book.

Various Internet providers ban us periodically, but you can look up the site on search engines. The mirror www.terrorismisrael.net/blog currently works.

Please help us spread Obadiah's message, and mention the blog in one of your posts, or link to us from utnapistim.blogspot.com. I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Best wishes,
John Doe
