Politics.hu – A leader of Hungary’s anti-Semitic Jobbik party confessed to having Jewish origins, but Jewish leaders reacted to his statement dismissively. “I learned not long ago that I had parents of Jewish origins,” Csanad Szegedi, a member of the European parliament and regional leader of Jobbik, said in an interview with the daily Barikad. Members of Jobbik have used anti-Semitic rhetoric repeatedly in the past. “Knowing who is a pure-race Hungarian is not what counts. The important thing is the way one behaves as a Hungarian,” he is quoted as saying.

If Csanad Szegedi’s commitment was that deep, he would probably kill himself. Just be one less Jewish person walking around.
