Gaza: Isaac Herzog claims Mein Kampf was found in \u2018children\u2019s living room\u2019<\/h3>\n

Israel’s President Isaac Herzog claimed that an Arabic translation of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf book was found among the personal belongings of a Hamas terrorist in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg, President Herzog said that the disclosure was an “exclusive” for the BBC.<\/p>\n

He held up the book, saying: “This is the book that led to the Holocaust and the book that led to World War Two.<\/p>\n

“This book was found a few days ago in northern Gaza in a children’s living room, which was turned into a military operation base of Hamas.”<\/p>\n

Adolf Hitler wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ while in prison in 1923 following an attempted coup in Munich.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Herzog flicked through the anti-Semitic book, saying that the Hamas terrorist who owned it had annotated its pages, particularly sections focusing on killing Jewish people.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe terrorist wrote notes, marked the sections, and learned again and again, Adolf Hitler\u2019s ideology to hate the Jews, to kill the Jews, to burn and slaughter Jews wherever they are.<\/p>\n

“This is the real war we are facing.”<\/p>\n

Mr Herzog pointed to the book and said that those who marched for a ceasefire in Gaza on the streets of London yesterday are “basically supporting this idealogy”.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands joined the pro-Palestinian demonstration yesterday, which coincided with Armistice Day and ended up becoming the biggest UK rally since the war between Israel and Hamas began.<\/p>\n

Ms Kuenssberg was taken aback by the president’s move as the BBC host pointed out that many of those marching were demanding an end to violence.<\/p>\n

When asked if Israel’s response to the attack by Hamas on 7 October has become disproportionate, President Herzog said that “first and foremost we defend ourselves”.<\/p>\n

The Hamas-run health ministry says more than 11,000 people have been killed in Gaza – of whom more than 4,500 were children<\/p>\n
