Leader Of Anti-Semitic Party In Hungary Finds Out He's Jewish

With the results of the European elections, I thought this was very topical. It seems like something that would be in a Woody Allen movie.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

One of the founders of Hungary's far-right Jobbik Party has discovered he is Jewish, and that his grandmother is an Auschwitz survivor. Now, he keeps kosher, attends synagogue and visits Israel.

There actually is a british comedy film about a very devout muslim man in England that finds out he’s Jewish. The preview came with a DVD I bought. Looked kinda funny. Can’t remember the name.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit where he’s a blind black KKK leading racist.

[dfwgator]

Awkward.

I don’t have TV but I saw that on youtube. It was hilarious!

It seems like something that would be in a Woody Allen movie.

Woody had a long routine in his standup days about a Jewish couple that decides to try deer hunting. They end up being shot instead.

"...and so, Mr. Rosenberg ends up being shot, stuffed, and mounted on the wall of the New York Athletic Club.

...and the joke's on them because it's restricted!"

Like the movie “Zelig” where the chameleon-like Jew is surrounded by Nazis and in seconds turns into a ranting Aryan supremacist & joins the Sturmabteilung.

He later renounces Naziism & flees back to America.

[amnestynone]

This is an old story. It seems to happen often that the head of the Nazi party or whatever finds out that he is a jew. It happned to the head of the local Nazi party when I lived in chicago years ago. Even Hitler had some jewish blood.

[ohioman]

That is a myth. Hitler did not have Jewish blood. His real secret was the fact that a branch of his family had a horrible propensity for mental illness. Eventually this branch died out, but one historian recently learned that Hitler inadvertantly gassed one of his own cousins during the early Nazi period of euthanasia of the mentally retarded.

Let me guess. Ancestry.com has been at it again.

There actually was a real-life version of this, it's in the movie "Europa, Europa".

[Blaine Fabin]

Clayton Bigsby - one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

Yep; “Europa, Europa” is based on the real-life story of Solomon Perel.

[Mike Darancette]

So, who knew?

[faithhopecharity]

This happens from time to time... due to anti-Semitism’s pernicious persistence ...
It is wonderful how some Nazis can find God and reform, at least when they discover their personal stake in the problem they create

What is not so wonderful is the number of Nazis who KNOW of their Jewish heritages... and stay self-hating Jew-killers (or Jew-wanna-killers) anyway. JSS (Jewish Suicide Syndrome) is very hard for good Christians to understand — perhaps it is like Stockholm Syndrome (a la young Miss Hearst and the “Symbionese Liberation Army”)?

[PATRIOT1876]

He was heard to exclaim ‘ere he drove out of sight:

“Oy, what meshugenah I am!”

[PATRIOT1876]

Kind of like Pelosi supporting abortion and Obamacare and finding out that she's Catholic!

[Dr. Thorne]

Oy Vey!

[quadrant]

True; and Hitler's family had a strong habit of intermarriage - which may explain the propensity for mental illness.
