You show a severe lack of initiative for objective truth. Like the racial crap, you do know Moses married an Ethiopian woman. Do I need to remind you that Joseph married an Egyptian and that lead to the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh? So there are entire tribes of Israel that have African roots. Who are you to tell Ethiopian and Kenyan Jews that they are not Jews?
So are all Christians Catholics too?
the Orthodox view's of the Talmud and Ashkenazi practices do not constitute the entirety of Judaism.
The Jewish faith and people are broad and diverse.
hence, I can say if someone doesn't believe in the Talmud, then they're not a Jew.
Marketing to Conspiracy-Theorists 101
Banning it gives it the publicity. Otherwise it would have dissappeared into obscurity.
In fact, the author probably intended to get it banned. Banned books are always bestsellers in the conspiracy-theory community.

A very reliable source has informed me that a "movement" bookseller with an account on Amazon Marketplace has approached Hoffman to buy some to put on Marketplace, but that Hoffman has rebuffed him.

When I telephoned Amazon a little while ago, they told me the reason for the missing reviews was they were updating their computers.
Now the reviews are back.

If a substantial portion of these constituencies boycott Judaism Discovered, our readership will be reduced to a collection of individuals who lack the kind of organized clout that is needed to get a book reviewed, discussed and into circulation.

There is an advantage to Judaism Discovered by this development. Third party sales allow Amazon's reviewer's link to be activated. Readers can now post reviews pro and contra and a debate will undoubtedly ensue, which generates interest in the book.
The disadvantage is that Amazon itself continues to refuse to sell the book in multiple quantities at the more affordable retail price (they always refused to discount the book as they do with many other titles). This will keep Judaism Discovered from ever reaching a high place in Amazon's important "sales rankings," which are closely watched by librarians, teachers, book distributors, chain stores and the media.
Judaism is no different.
Anyone who is familar with Jewish ethnic and religious history would realize that the 613 Mitzvot from the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, formed the foundations for a set of Semitic tribes known as the Israelites. Judaism began as a Semitic tribal religion that allowed adopted converts. In modern times its still a tribal faith that has adopted converts.
Do you realize how ignorant that statement is? Do you know who the Sadducees were? They never accepted Oral Law ever. Do I need to mention the Essenes or the Zealots? The Talmud itself wasn't even compiled, written and completed until 200-500 CE. You can no more declare a Jew a non-jew than you can call a Baptist a non-Christian for ignoring Roman Catholic Catechism and Dogma.
Its overall and core foundation among all sects is the 613 mitzvot from the Torah, aka the Five Books of Moses

scholarship reveals what has been repeatedly forgotten
Yitzhak Goldberg, traditional Catholic & former rabbi, 08/26/2008
Jesus who can neither deceive nor be deceived told us all we need to know about the Pharisees, but men have deceived us. In thousands of pages with verifiable and incontrovertible footnotes, the author exposes the truth that has been revealed and forgotten time and time again. Donin, Pfefferkorn, Eisenmenger, Stehlin, and now Hoffman tell us the truth, all that the rabbis deny. Read this book and you will never again be deceived.
'The main tenet of Judaism is Jewish self-worship. Judaism has as its “god,” not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but the worship of the Jewish people.

Couldn't agree more with the above quote from Hoffman
And I find the same theme within the new Freemasonry
Having spent the better part of my life amongst jews (practising and non-practising) I formed the same opinion as Hoffman regarding the self-absorbed, self-worshipping, self-obsessed nature of jews who really are their own favourite subject. And expect (and engineer) to be the primary subject in the lives of others, via whatever means possible. Narcissism at its most extreme, insane level.
They are their own 'god'. They have replaced God with themselves. They play God (as in conniving to ban books, for example).
This neurotic self-interest and assumed self-importance is revealed in all spheres of jewish life: they're desperate to be the focus of interest .. yet undertake to erase any and all criticism of themselves.
I've come to regard them as not terribly bright, spoilt brats. Clearly they are not intelligent, for time and again throughout the centuries they've failed to realise they've crossed the line, worn everyone's patience thin, bored multitudes to tears and earned the criticisms heaped upon them.
Their attitudes are narcissistic in the extreme. Are neurotic. Their religion does not stand up to scrutiny. And their hypocrisy is monumental.
All of which is exemplified within the 'kick, scream and wail' performance re: Hoffman's new book.
Amazon ... you just lost yourself another customer. Your reputation stinks in any case as even a casual reading of the 'My 2 cents' site reveals. On the nose in the same way as Ebay. Both dominated by jews and the sheer hatred for humanity (jews included) that permeates these failing, online sites.
I have tried to maintain respect for the jews I've known, but despite my generosity of spirit, it's jews themselves who've gone out of their way to force me to despise them. And they've succeeded. Jews simply bore.

I'm guessing its because he denies/questions the Holocaust in it,and is therefore open to prosecution in many European countries and Israel.
.... the modern Zionist idea of Jews being obligated to return from exile to the Promised Land was entirely alien to Judaism, he added.
"I was not raised as a Zionist, but like all other Israelis I took it for granted that the Jews were a people living in Judea and that they were exiled by the Romans in 70 AD.
"But once I started looking at the evidence, I discovered that the kingdoms of David and Solomon were legends.
"Similarly with the exile. In fact, you can't explain Jewishness without exile. But when I started to look for history books describing the events of this exile, I couldn't find any. Not one.
" ... you can't explain Jewishness without exile. But when I started to look for history books describing the events of this exile, I couldn't find any. Not one.
"That was because the Romans did not exile people. In fact, Jews in Palestine were overwhelming peasants and all the evidence suggests they stayed on their lands."
"It is not taught in Israeli schools but most of the early Zionist leaders, including David Ben Gurion [Israel's first prime minister], believed that the Palestinians were the descendants of the area's original Jews. They believed the Jews had later converted to Islam."
