Someone missed the point here ysmisc... Stop searching servers, spend a little time reading the book!

This is not a political book, but a book discussing on the real facts that no one can argue with them, The book is about the state of israel which you live at, raise your kids, and pay your taxes.

The book was sent to many AA FFs, from GL to TPLs, The main reason behind sending the book, is to enrich your knowledge with some solid facts vs urban legends, So as a traveler if you find yourself discussing and hearing such urban legends, you can do the least possible and try to explain the facts to the person.

I find myself many times in such positions, From talking to Iranians, Palestinians and even regular Christian people, This book is the right "weapon" i need.

you can always throw the book to the trash or spend a little time reading it, no matter what are your political opinion is, In the worse case it will not renew you anything.

As for books in flights, dont worry, You will get soon ipads on flights with books in hebrew/english and movies.

As you know (ysmisc) i have spent the past 4 months with extra flying,
and not only in EL-AL, So the only thing i can say, is flying to Atlanta with Delta with a premium product which is probably "better" than EL-AL might be nice thing, As my ... felt very comfortable.
But landing to a Snow storm with Delta or with EL-AL, I prefer EL-AL, The took care to all my next flights, luggage and etc..., Delta... Left me to the dogs...
So its not about the plane or the seat, There is much much more beyond this!

AA FFs doesnt mean American Airlines if this is what you got...
Beside the GL/TP/TPL member type differences, Each level have an additional difference with is done by tagging the member with AA.
The regular GL and the AA GL (will appear on your ticket only!),
What does AA means? god knows..., What does it give you ?
Better Upgrades, Better Service, And periodic periodic gifts from EL-AL (without any special reason or holiday).

Nice gift.

And if you do not want to appreciate it, mail it to me. I would be happy to cover the cost of the mail to Australia.

I will then read the book - reaffirm my love and loyalty to the wonderful Jewish state we call Isreal, and then share the book with Gentiles to educate them as to why isreal exists and why it should.

PM me for my address and payment options

You can buy it here for only 16,49 AUD (+ 2,99 AUD shipping).

According to Israel Post, you can send it in the form of a small packet by Air Mail for only 32,00 ILS, and 13,30 ILS if using surface mail.

Who said I do not appreciate it? I did not say I do not agree with the book's content nor did I say I do not like it.
All I said is that I think it is not appropriate to be sent by LY.

I am as pro Israel as it gets (צבר ישראלי) who lives and raise my family in Israel... I just do not like it when people push their opinions in such ways.
