“This is Adolf Hitler's book, "Mein Kampf," translated into Arabic. This is the book that led to the Holocaust and the book that led to World War II. This book was found a few days ago in northern Gaza," Herzog said. "In a child's room, which became a base used for terrorist activities by the terrorist organization Hamas. The terrorist wrote notes, marked the sections, and studied again and again, the ideology of Adolf Hitler to hate the Jews, to kill the Jews, to burn and slaughter Jews wherever they are. This is the real war we are facing.”

WTF
After a prominent Arab said 2 weeks ago - how long till they find a copy of Mein Kampf - suddenly, from a destroyed child's bedroom used by fighters the IDF find a pristine copy of it neatly underlined and notes on a new, clean post it note. Of course we believe it, why would they lie to us? Simple answer because they can, do and will

This book has been a regular best-seller in the Arab World
For decades. Granted, not many foreign language books are translated into Arabic, but his one has been at the top of the list for decades. Not just for Hamas, but for most of the Arab world.
