What if his grandmother was Dutch?

What if the biggest mystery surrounding Col. Moammar Gadhafi had nothing to do with his long, brutal reign as the world's most eccentric and violent leader turned pariah?
And what if a long-lost letter from a Catholic cardinal who knew Gadhafi's true identity was evidence that could have solved the mystery?
To many Libyan people, the biggest question mark about Gadhafi does not involve his repressive and dictatorial rule, delusional statements or brazen lies. Behind closed doors, for years, they've wondered if he is Jewish. Last week the issue came out in the open, as NBC's Richard Engel reported from Libya that one in five rebels was fighting Gadhafi because he believes the leader is Jewish.
Conflicting reports surrounding Gadhafi's birth have circulated since about 1970, two years after a Gadhafi-led coup made him the de facto leader of Libya.
In a handful of biographies from years ago, mostly written by Europeans, Gadhafi is almost always described as being born in a tent in Sirt, the son of a poor, illiterate Bedouin sheepherder and his wife.
But the hushed-up rumors in Libya about Gadhafi's parentage involved his mother being Jewish. The stories have conflicted over the years, and the narratives are different. One had her converting to Judaism at age 9. In another, Gadhafi's grandmother is Jewish but leaves her husband for an Arab sheik.
A more specific claim, backed up by a Libyan historian, is that Gadhafi was born out of wedlock to a Jewish woman and an Italian soldier in a village east of Tripoli. Because of the shame surrounding the birth, the baby was given to a Catholic cardinal who in turn gave the child to the sheepherder and his wife.

Another self-hating Jew?
I thought he was born in Hawaii?
Does he like Chinese food?
Yes I remember going to the Gadhafi Bar Mitzvah all those years ago.
What if his grandmother was Dutch?
maybe they were switched at birth.... Daffi was really born in Hawaii to Jewish parents and oboingo was born in Libya to muzzie parents.... AHA!!! That’s why the BC went AWOL!
Does anyone have additional information on this fascinating conjecture? In fact, if he was teased and tormented as a kid it might indeed explain his fanaticism.
Funny, he doesn’t look Jewish.
No Wonder Obama went after him so quickly....
Rivals usually play the Jew-card against each other in that region.
I personally think Gaddafi looks Nicaraguan.
Who gives a rats ass.
Does anyone know how the man actually spells his name? Every news org I've seen spells it differently. Does it start with a G or a Q, does it have an H?? Why don't we just refer to him as the Lybian terrorist?
Given to a shepherd? Jeez, how original. You would think a legendary figgah would be FOUND by a shepherd.
So...was there an oracle that foretold he’d kill his own people?
...he was born in Hawaii....
Is he Jewish? Make him drop his pants. We’ll see the answer, soon enough.
I think he’s Obama’s real father.
He’s Italian. /sarc
We might not care, but a lot of Lybians would.
There were also rumors that Hitler was the bastard son of a Jew. His mother conceived and bore him out of wedlock while working as a housemaid in a Jewish home. The Jewish family had a son who was about the right age to be his father. It's almost a miracle that Allied propanda didn't play up Hitler's Jewishness, just to undermine morale among the Germans. ( I remember seeing a History episode about Jews in the Wehrmacht, mostly "Mischlings", half Jewish, like Hitler. In one case there was a reunion and all the guys in Fritz' platoon said knew he was Jewish, but never let on to him that they knew. Even fifty years later, Fritz still thought that they didn't know.)
Well, he can certainly get one in Hawaii if he feels pressed. No questions asked.
