They only hide behind that in western forums (like here on Reddit or Twitter) to make their antisemitism more palatable to western progressives. They don’t need to hide it in mainstream Arab society.

> The Cairo event is the Arab world's oldest and largest book fair.

> Israel expressed concern last week over the antisemitic content "Expressed in books published and presented in the Cairo International Book Fair.".
