   Vladimir Zhirinovsky, arguably chief revisionist anti-semite of
   Russia, has... [1]issues:

     It looks like an everyday scene in a cemetery. A man who is no
     longer young stands, mute and weeping, at his father's grave. This
     particular scene, however, was fraught with historic irony. The son
     is Vladimir Zhirinovsky, . . . [who] found his father's grave in
     the Holon cemetery, outside Tel Aviv. Zhirinovskys quest for his
     roots- in the past he had denied that he had Jewish origins- ended,
     of all places in the world, in Israel.

     "For 60 years I have been looking for my father," he said on Sunday
     of this week . . .

     His official biography, which appears in an English-language
     pamphlet of 1999, published by his party, states that his father, a
     lawyer named Wolf Andreivich, was his mother's second husband and
     that he died in a road accident in the year that Vladimir was born.
     There is hardly a word of truth in that sentence. His father was
     not a lawyer, his name was not Zhirinovsky and he did not die in
     the year of his son's birth.

     Only in recent years has a change become apparent in Zhirinovsky's
     attitude toward his true background. Three years ago he admitted
     that his father was indeed a Jew.

     . . .

     "Inform the Jewish people that if I am elected president or if I am
     in the government, you in Israel will have no problems, not with
     Iran's nuclear program and not with the Hamas terrorists. I will
     know how to deal with them. After all, my father is buried here, in
     your soil."

   Where to start? Where to start! Where to end?
