Al Akhbar is a newspaper that is funded by the government of Egypt and read widely throughout the Arabic-speaking world.

On April 18, 2001, while we debated Yom HaShoah at Mudcat, Al Akhbar published the following editorial comment:

"Thank you, Hitler, of blessed memory, who on behalf of the Palestinians revenged in advance against the most vile criminals on the face of the Earth. Although we do have a complaint against him for his revenge on them was not enough."
