Au contraire. We don't ban books so easily in the U.S.

Simply because you do not like the book is no reason to ban it. Oh and for the record, anti-israel DOES NOT EQUAL anti-semitic.

News flash: Freedom of speech does NOT mean, "I should have the right to say what I think, because I'm right."

No book bannings - even of books expressing sentiments most people find repugnant.

No book should ever be banned. Books represent the thoughts and ideas of various and varied individuals. Just because one person is offended by the words and thoughts of another does not in and of itself justify destroying the existence of those words and thoughts. Think of book banning as in its own way, similar to people banning because certain people have ideas which offend us. Now imagine if you will all the people who would be locked away and never seen or heard from again.

Additionally, without the input of ideas which you deem offensive or wrong, society as a whole would become a bland paste. I personally find many books which support liberal viewpoints to be offensive and deplorable however I have never seen fit to ban either them or the persons who write them.

Books that criticize Israel deserve to be banned, anyone who disagrees is anti-semitic.

I agree with you people should not be free to say what they want, which is why anti-Israel books should be banned.

Nonsense - and the endorsement of any such proposition is idiotic.

Actually it stands to reason, the only people that write and attack Israel are anti-semitic, why else would anyone question Israel?
It is therefore not idiotic but your attempt to provide an arguement is.

One having opportunity to choose one's battles is well advised to do a bit of research on one's prospective opponents. You've much to learn, danny_boy, and whether you learn or not is up to you.
