Specifically, the ban is on three of his books. A complete ban (Kindle + printed book) on <em>Judaism\u2019s Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded<\/em>, as well as <em> The Great Holocaust Trial: Revised and Expanded<\/em>, while his textbook, <em> Judaism Discovered, <\/em>has been removed from the Kindle.
