Please be accurate. Correct would be: They removed a book they consider anti-semitic. That is quite different from what you stated.

But great to include the source.

That's their reasoning. Which doesn't mean at all that he's not right. In case of doubt read the book.

Funny enough the owner of Der Spiegel was himself considered an anti-semite by the Wiesenthal Center[1] a few years ago which stirred quite some debate back then.

He isn’t (and never was) the owner of Spiegel. He’s the son of the Spiegel’s founder and former editor in chief.

It's the same thing, isn't it?

No. Have you ever hard a joke that is racist or sexist but still made you laugh in spite of yourself?

They claim (or at least claimed) to be a bestselling list. This makes that claim obviously false.

Both are correct. They removed a book they didn't like because they considered it to be anti-semitic. They are not exclusive.

Both statements are technically correct. One statement clearly transports the facts, the other is massively misleading.

The additional use of "books" is further misleading and technically not correct. It is one single book.

Is see no reason to defend this spreading of misinformation. Do you?
