This is one of those things I just don't understand

The lead story on JPost for at least a few hours today was about the American senior Klu Klux Klan member who, while on the run from the US Authorities, decided to hop on a plane and hide out in Israel.

Fact: The KKK is a hate group.
Fact: The KKK believes in protecting the rights of and future interests of white people.
Fact: The KKK has a record of using terror and intimidation against blacks, jews, and other minorities.

So what makes a KKK member who is on the US's 100 most wanted list decided to hide out among people he hates? I guess he couldn't hide out among blacks -- they would have outed him in about 20 seconds. Maybe he figured it was the last place that the authorities would look for him -- among one of the KKK's favorite target groups.

But here's the part that baffles me more. According to JPost he survived on odd jobs living like as an illegal migrant worker. Isn't this everything that the KKK is against? Or are they only against it in the US? Is it okay from them to go the countries of people they would sooner see dead and take illegal jobs there?

And the story only gets better. Once in Israel, he finds a Jewish girlfriend -- a commodity that is in abundance in Israel. She gets pregnant and then, upon finding out, he has an attack of conscience and he tells her about his sordid past. She, thank heavens, has the smarts to then turn him in to the authorities.

So, for me, there are many unanswered questions:

1) does he now like Jews? he is about to be the father of a Jewish child.
2) did he actually like the Jewish girl he got pregnant or was he just getting back at Jews in general?
3) if you really hate someone, how can you have sex with them? (sorry, that's a chick question)
4) if he hates Jews -- since all KKK seem to -- why didn't he hide out in the Palestinian Authority? KKK don't seem to have problems with other like-minded terrorist types. The PA would have been happy to have him. They have a common enemy. I bet they wouldn't have allowed him to be extradicted back to the US.
5) will the baby be a self-hating Jew? 50% of his gene pool suggests so.
6) is he going to want some sort of custody of his Jewish child?
7) what if his parents want to be actively involved in the baby's life?

So many questions. So few answers. So many pathetic human beings who don't deserve the decency that good people show them.
