Is the Pope Jewish?

YouTube video

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!
