Fidel Castro half Jewish

A discussion of the history of the rise and spread of communism with no mention of Jewish involvement is akin to a discussion of the history of gunpowder with no mention of the Chinese.

"...Support for Castro was nearly universal among the Jews when he overthrew the dictator Fulgencio Batista.

But within two years, after Castro declared Cuba an atheistic state, nationalized businesses and other properties, and introduced communism, some 12,000 Jews joined thousands of other Cubans fleeing the country...."

"The Jewish Role in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russia's Early Soviet Regime... Although officially Jews have never made up more than five percent of the country's total population, they played a highly disproportionate and probably decisive role in the infant Bolshevik regime, effectively dominating the Soviet government during its early years...."

“Béla Kun [Cohen] ….The son of a Jewish village clerk… started a communist newspaper and founded the Hungarian Communist Party on December 20, 1918…. assumed the dominant position in a new Communist–Social Democratic coalition government…. quickly eliminated the moderate elements in the government through terroristic measures…..The regime collapsed on August 1, 1919, and Kun fled to Vienna. As a leader of the Third International, he attempted to initiate revolutionary outbreaks several times in Germany and Austria during the 1920s…..

Indeed, it was widespread fear throughout Europe of ‘Jewish Bolshevism’ that the Nazis capitalized on that helped fuel the Holocaust.

I'm not following.

"When Fidel was 15, he divorced his wife and married Lina Ruz.

Apparently Lina Ruz's family came from Ottoman Turkey to Cuba as Jewish refugees."

How does this make Fidel Castro half Jewish?

 

Is Fidel Castro Jewish?

"...That Lina may well have been of jewish origin is suggested by some comments that Fidel made in 1941 at the elite Jesuit school of Dolores that he attended. As Symmes puts it:

'He was never an ideological fascist, Cubenas said, and was definitely not an anti-Semite. Fidel had explained at the time that he could not be 'with' the fascists because they were against the Jews, and he could not be against the Jews for the simple reason that he was one. He volunteered that he was descended, through his grandmother, from Jews. Fidel was Catholic, not Jewish, and Cuban, not European, but he told anyone who would listen that the Jews were his own people.'...."

 

A yarmuckle (sp?) with fatigues... an odd mental picture.
