Did anyone catch those comments from the guy calling me an “asshole Zionist” for selling my book on Amazon? He deleted them afterward, and I deleted my reply too.
Honestly, I don’t care what Amazon does with its profits or power. I sell my book wherever it gets the widest reach and the best exposure—that’s the practical choice.
If I tried to boycott every company, platform, or institution that has any connection (direct or indirect) to Israel—or to any side in any conflict—I wouldn’t be able to function in the modern world. My own tax dollars already fund wars and military actions all over the planet, and there’s virtually nothing I can do to stop that. Short of complete withdrawal from society, the only logical response is to keep living and working as best I can.
That said, I do draw a line at outright, explicit support for groups or organizations that openly advocate or carry out genocide, mass murder, or similar atrocities. Those are red lines worth considering.
Zionism itself? It’s not something I spend a lot of mental energy on or actively support or rally against. To put it bluntly, I am not a fan of any deeply religious, righteous philosophy. If that disappoints you or you think I’m missing something important, I’m open to hearing your perspective—just explain it to me. Calling me a hypocritical asshole isn’t an argument; it’s just noise.
If you’ve got a reasoned case, lay it out. I’ll listen.
Very sorry to learn that you were insulted by some confused soul who is having difficulty dealing with a complex world. As you know, such insults tell us more about the originator than the victim.
I'm guessing that he has selected various triggers that allow him to release his stress when needed and feel virtuous by so doing.
One day, he'll get a smack in the face or a really bad outbreak of spots!
Thank you. I truly appreciate the support. Yes, it is so strange to me that people, in trying to make their point, can only do that through vitriol and ad hominem. If they refrained from these pointless tactics, they would have a much greater effect.
I have purchased your book and passed them on to friends. Thank you. I appreciate you and your opinion and thoughts. We don’t have to agree on everything.
Love love love your book!

I am waiting on book 2.
Hooray for Book 2… soon?
I am going to start working on it this weekend!
Liked.
People are strange and unpredictable but we harm ourselves first and foremost when we erupt!
Nevertheless, here we are and enjoying a nice chat whilst your abuser is probably still fuming.
Wishing you a good week, Todd.
Thank you again...same to you about a good weekend!
Cheers!
