Let us take apart your message:

The book called for gassing Jews.

The book did not call for "gassing the Jews" as in "all Jews must be killed by poison gas - men, women and children alike", which indeed would be a call for a genocide. It is simply not there.

The Nazi gassed the Jews.

What if they had gassed them even without this book? (Some will say they never actually did and that is technically impossible the way it is presented.) You are missing the point that you have to prove that the two facts form a cause-and-consequence chain instead of just being present.

It clearly wasn't just a WW1 metaphor.

It was not a call for genocide either.

Your argument failed.

Let us begin from the beginning - that you have not produced a proof for your claim as of yet, so if anything is failing, then it is you. Sorry if you are saddened by your assumptions and beliefs not being accepted as facts. Because ... they aren't.

Simple enough?

Pretty nonsensical, actually.

Ok now we are arguing in circles. I showed you where in the book it says that Jews should be subjected to poison gas. You said it was a WW1 metaphor. Perhaps it was, but sadly, Jews were gassed in concentration camps such as Auschwitz. The perpetrators of these atrocities were the primary readers of the book and their leader was the author. There's your cause-and-effect. Simple enough?

You showed me where in the book it said that had those war profiteers died of poison gas instead of the honest people that actually did, the world would perhaps be a better place. And, you know what - tada! - those profiteers just happened to be Jews. Some call for genocide indeed.

You said it was a WW1 metaphor.

I did not say it was a metaphor. Metaphor is something else.

Perhaps it was, but sadly, Jews were gassed in concentration camps such as Auschwitz.

It is believed that some were.

The perpetrators of these atrocities were the primary readers of the book and their leader was the author.

I am sure most of those perpetrators never ever even read the book. Perpetrators of those atrocities also were riding bicycles and eating cabbages. Which proves that riding bicycles and eating cabbages leads to genocide. Also the author spoke a lot about other subjects too, like personal hygiene. I guess that makes us to believe that Germans wash hands because of Mein Kampf.

here's your cause-and-effect.

Where?

Simple enough?

Yes. Very simple.

I guess we had quite a long and interesting discussion but probably one must know when to stop. So I wish you a pleasant time of the day and bid farewell.

P.S.

Jewish war profiteers make money while Germans die of poison gas in trenches of WWI. Certain German soldier nearly dies, goes blind, but recovers. He is angry. What he is observing makes him change his world view and become an activist. ... something ... something ... Genocide!

And here we see that it was actually the Jews themselves who caused the genocide of Jews in Europe. How about such causal link? It has much more weight to it than claiming that the stupid little book did it. End even if we assume that you are right and it caused the genocide, then this fits into the " ... something ... something ... " part and it still is the Jews eventually doing it to themselves.
