THANK YOU SO MUCH for starting the campaign for refaat's work. i bought a copy and recommended the book to friends as well. as to sales ratings ...

i am really writing this comment to lament people's beholdenment to, i.e. their heavy, carefree dependency on the multinational tech giant named A..., after the largest river on earth, headed by B..., one of the richest men on earth, and providing C..., cozy comfort to its customers while also causing big harm to people and the environment - not to mention its contributions to the US war machinery.

people who can afford A...'s services readily tolerate their harmful side effects *) in exchange for so much everyday luxury that comes at immense costs for others much less fortunate ...

______________

*) is our comfort really worth the price of modern slavery, exploitation, environmental destruction, support for warfare, among other things? [i thoroughly don't think so.]

I agree completely with you, julia. The convenience comes at a price I am not willing to pay…ever.

The Israelies have ignited worldwide anti-semitism for a very long time.

Zionists promote antisemitism, but only for their genocidal project, and are certainly no friends of "ordinary" Jews.

I agree. Deceivers and murders are trying to hide behind Judaism by conflating themselves with that religion. Judaism is no promoter of genocide, land grabs, or kleptocracy. Every time you hear the word "Jew," remind yourself that the word is neither a synonym for "Zionist" or a religion that endorses genocide. Gangsters now are in control of Israel's government.

Do all the royalties go to the family regardless of where the book is purchased?

Ordered from bookshop.org with a discount tg. I know I'm just going to cry as I read it but it has to be a bestseller. I appreciate you giving so many copies to our genocidal politicians tho I hold out absolutely no hope for their humanity, either party.

On Breaking Points didn’t you say to wait till Dec. 10 to buy it? Has that changed?

Am finding that Amazon and Barnes & Nobel are making it difficult to order this book. I recommend going to Bookshop.org where the backordering button for a temporarily out-of-print book has not been disabled as it has at the other two sites.

It will be interesting to see if the NYT will allow it to be posted on the NYT's best sellers' list even if it makes the sales number. The NYT is still feeling the sting of a decade earlier when Max Blumenthal's "Goliath Life and Loathing in Greater Israel" made the NYT's best seller list and they got their marching orders not to allow any reviews of the book to be published. The NYT, and now it seems Facebook, are serving as censors and taking orders from the Netanyahu gangster government of Israel. Am happy to see that nearly every legitimate government on the planet has an arrest warrant out for the S.O.B. and publishing their acknowledgement of Israel's government committing a genocide.
