Yes, says the head of the Hebrew Studies Department at Tanta University in Egypt, Muhammad Galaa Idris. In an interview on Egypt’s Al-Rahma TV, he informs us that Pope Benedict XVI is either Jewish or has been “Judaized”:
The Egyptian academic said this in an interview in January 2012 with Al-Rahma TV, according to footage recorded and translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute. “The current pope Benedict IV or VII or whatever is even more Zionist then Herzl,” said Idris, adding “I follow his statements, and I’ve already said, that if that man is not a Jew then he has been Judaized. . . . He is more Zionist than the Zionists themselves.”
Some falsehoods flatter, and all I have to say in response to this one is viva il papa!

So according to this fellow anyone who criticizes Islam or Arabs, accepts that the Holocaust happened, and supports Israel is Jewish.
And the speaker is supposedly the head of “Hebrew Studies” at a university, so he should know.
Honestly, it’s hard to take these middle eastern scholars seriously.

An expert on Pope “Benedict IV or VII or whatever”.

When terrorists from Gaza send 80 missiles in southern Israel, we are all Jewish.

The first German pope (correct me please) is Jewish? It would be as if the first American pope came out of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. Suddenly the odds are much better than I had hoped.
Is this an infinitely entertaining planet or what?

Of course he’s Jewish. All us Christians are nothing but in-grafted branches.
Well, maybe not so much “Jewish” as “Israelite,” if we’re going to be specific.
