It all happened too quickly to put on the website but we were emailed to say that on the Jerusalem Post Internet Pages was an ad saying 'Buy Amazon' to support Israel. Along with many others we contacted Amazon who responded thus:
Thanks for writing to the Amazon.com Associates Program.
The web site, www.jpost.com, was just one of over 800,000 members of the Amazon.com Associates Program. Associates post links to Amazon.com on their sites in exchange for a small percentage of the sales that result when their visitors follow these special links to place an order with us.
Amazon.com does not endorse the point of view of any of our Associates. Nor would we consider ourselves their sponsors. Our Associates include web sites representing all sides of nearly every important political and social issue.
However, we did find that the Jerusalem Post was describing our relationship in a way that could cause confusion. As a result, we requested that they update their messaging to more accurately reflect the nature of their membership in the Associates Program. Unfortunately, they have chosen not to comply with these terms and we had no choice but to close down their account.
Thanks again for contacting us regarding this site. We appreciate your interest in Amazon.com.
Best regards,
Julie T. Amazon.com Associates Program
