Russia's parliamentary speaker and leading nationalist-clown (well-known for his anti-semitic remarks) is also of the same heritage:

As he famously quipped about his background in a TV interview once, "My mother was Russian, and my father was a lawyer!"

Poetic justice.

I wonder if anyone asked him if he is going to start the deportation/extermination of Jews with himself?

People who hate others simple because of their heritage deserve the irony that this guy is going through.

Normally I'm not someone who enjoys schadenfreude much but here I say spread the word for the lulz.

My favorite reaction was by Richard Prasquier, a spokesperson of the French Jews:

Quote:

We can but offer our sympathies in light of the terrible discover. In different circumstances, the appropriate solution would be hara-kiri. Having not chosen this option, the unfortunate Szegedi is forced to embark on philosophical pursuits superior to his intellectual capacity.
