Not to be outdone, you must also remember Karl Marx. I think Leon Trotsky was another, insomuch that he helped to institute the Yevsektsia.

Bacon with maps by Sir Martin Gilbert, some of the most virulent antisemites of Inquisition times and since were "conversos" or descendents of conversos. And there have been plenty of people with Jewish ancestry, whether converts from Judaism or not, who would qualify. Think of the virulently anti-semetic Russian legislator whose name escapes at the moment, or Bobby Fischer the chess savant to name two. I'd check with an authority on the Persian Jewish community before dismissing the possibility out of hand. jdyer:

Béla Imrédy a liberal bank manager became in May 1938 prime minister of Hungary. He driftet very much to the right, took money from the nazis. All this did not please to the ruling circles of Hungary who were anglophil. Somebody found out that his great-grand mother was a converted Jewess. It was a perfect excuse to fire him in fall 1939. He joined openly the extreme right and became after the Szalasi putsch on October 15, 1944 minister. He fled Hungary however the Americans sent him back to Hungary, where he was hanged. jdyer there was one case, when this accusation was not an excuse.

This is standard antisemitic fare. First they attack known Jews then they start to attack "hidden Jews" (people they don't like), finally they begin to attack each other as Jews. There is also a weird after life to this antisemitic dynamic. Once the antisemitic plague subsides those who were infected by the disease pretend that it never happened or that those responsible for it were themselves "hidden Jews." Hence the stories about “Hitler having had “Jewish blood.” Its fallacious, redundant repugnant logic is full (fool) proof. “Mehdi Khazali, the son of the conservative Ayatollah Khazali, has written on his personal website hat he recently learned that President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has Jewish roots.”
