Jeremy Corbyn isn't Jewish in any straightforward sense. He's said that he has some distant Jewish ancestry:

It's not my job to decide who's Jewish or not, but I think it's inaccurate to just describe him as 'Jewish' without qualification.

That's fair but it's also kind of the point.

There's an awful lot of people declaring themselves and others to be ethnically Jewish or not Jewish when it suits them or suits some political goal. Russian is the third most common spoken language in Israel for a reason: to change demographics from the refuseniks, many of whom were ethnically and religiously Jewish but many who were not.

The character assassination on Corbyn who, in the very least, has Jewish ancestry, was disgusting regardless.

Ironically that's exactly what you're doing here (i.e. making the misleading claim that Corbyn is Jewish in an attempt to defuse allegations of antisemitism against him).
