Seinfeld Half Syrian

I was just checking out Jerry Seinfeld on Wikipedia and it seems his mother is Syrian. I didn’t know that.

Seinfeld was born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City to Jewish parents. His father, Kalman, was of Hungarian Jewish background and his mother, Betty, was of Syrian Jewish background.

    So what if he’s Jewish? not all Jews are Israelis, and not all Israelis are evil.

    The guy whom you should be hating is Kramer form Seinfeld, now this guy is pretty racist and in reality! Check out his video

    I just hate racists and stereotypers…

    Jane, lol, the guy wanted to spend about $1.4 million to build a garage, I don’t think that “the cheapest guy in the world” is a suitable name for him.

    And yeah, Seinfeld was pretty funny, I liked his show.

    I knew he was Jewish, but didn’t know that he was half Syrian!! That’s new for me! Well I still think he’s shows rocked!!!!
    I have to agree with Nael!!! Not all Jews are Israelis! I remember the hate that was put in people’s hearts back in Kuwait for all Jews and Israelis! But when I came to live in Finland I met some Finns Jews! And they are really good people, and they stand strong with Palestine! So people please see the difference between an Israeli and a Jew!
