By handing out a book, they're hardly concentrating on making sure you know Israel at the cost of providing a better product. They simply gave a gift. Just like any other time they give a gift. You didn't want/like/need.. it. Too bad. Hopefully next time, the gift will be more to your liking. IMO, this has ZERO to do with their effort in providing a good premium product.
Whilst I'm not very pleased with LY at the moment, I agree here with joshwex90's sentiment. It's not a big deal and it's not political in the sense that it is not left or right.
