October 23, 2013, TORONTO — Jewish human rights organization, B’nai Brith Canada, is asking Amazon to remove Nazi paraphernalia and Holocaust denial material from its online store.
“All the equipment needed to create a neo-nazi hate club is unfortunately available online through such outlets as Amazon’s online store,” said Frank Dimant, CEO, B’nai Brith Canada. “Items on sale include the book Did 6 Million Really Die, once featured on the Zundel hate website, Nazi Armbands and Flags which are oddly located under the Patio, Lawn & Garden section. Since some of these items would be stopped at the border as hate propaganda material, we should question why Canadians who might be looking to promote hate are able to so easily purchase them online.”
“We have written to Jeff Bezos, Chairman and CEO, in the hope that Amazon will show its corporate responsibility seriously by establishing clear policies regarding hate material and act without delay to remove such items from their website immediately.”
