Antisemitic books at Casablanca book fair

From the Simon Wiesenthal Centerhttp://www.wiesenthal.com/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx?c=lsKWLbPJLnF&b=8776547&ct=14556587:

In a letter to the Moroccan Culture Minister, Mohammed Amine Sbihi, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, presented his sixth annual monitor of anti-Jewish incitement on the stands of the SIEL (Salon International de l'Edition et du Livre – International Fair of Publishing and Books), held in Casablanca, billed as the most important book fair in the Arab world.

“This year, we have also covered the Doha (Qatar) and Muscat (Oman) Fairs and, though Qatar leads in the variety of Jew-hatred titles, Casablanca is way ahead in volume, with a tip of the iceberg figure of over 100 on display,” stated Samuels, who continued, “the worst recidivists at each Fair were Egyptian, Syrian (under the cover of Lebanon) and Palestinian publishers. That the 2015 Honoured Guest in Casablanca was the “State of Palestine,” undoubtedly added to the number of Jewish conspiracy texts on display.”

The letter reminded the Minister of his telephone call to Samuels following the latter's meeting with the Moroccan Ambassador to France: “Mr. Minister, you pledged that measures would be taken to vet all stands for displays of racism or fomenting hate and violence, as these violate Muslim values and the principles of the Moroccan monarchy and Constitution.”

Samuels lamented that “no such steps were taken. On the contrary, two weeks after the conversation, the Minister wrote that the volumes named in the Wiesenthal Centre report were 'not anti-Semitic, but anti-Israel'.”

Here are some of the books on display at the fair:

The conditions on the booksellers from the book fair include

Publications should not undermine good  customs, or be contrary to the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco or  its  religious precepts or the general principles of the founders of the state .of Morocco, or offend public sensibility.

It also says that any copies of the Quran must be approved before put on sale.

Moroccan media have noted this saying that the "Jewish lobby in America" is behind the criticism. The comments on the article are, predictably, virulently antisemitic:

I ask myself and I ask all  who have extensive knowledge in religion why Jews are rejected when they are supposedly God's chosen people?

Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's book is a biography, and contain information and signed by Hitler and things actually occurred. In my view, the Jews are the most insidious people, and is the cause of most of the problems in the world, even illiterate man knows this.
