Is Paul McCartney of the Beatles Jewish or linked to Jews?

(000228.79-:E-000157.73:N-:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[I did a bit of digging into McCartney's background because while he was in South America he went to a synagogue. That's very disgusting, and why would a non-Jew go to such a thing? This is what I found. He is pro-Israel, and it seems to me his first wife was Jewish. Despite the denials, his first wife was from a Jewish family. Jan]

This is what I found:

Paul McCartney is not Jewish, nor does he have known Jewish ancestry. McCartney was born into a family with Irish and English heritage and was raised in a nominally Christian household, specifically in the Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions. His mother, Mary McCartney, was a Roman Catholic of Irish descent, and his father, James McCartney, was from a Protestant background.

Connection to Judaism

While McCartney is not Jewish, he has friendly ties with the Jewish community:

Marriage to Linda Eastman:

McCartney’s first wife, Linda Eastman, was often rumored to be Jewish, but this is not accurate. Although her father, Lee Eastman, was from a Jewish family, Linda herself was not religiously Jewish or raised in the faith.

Pro-Israel Stance:

McCartney has publicly expressed support for Israel and performed in Tel Aviv in 2008, despite some calls for a boycott, further highlighting his positive relationship with the Jewish community.

In summary, while McCartney has connections to individuals with Jewish heritage (like Linda Eastman), he himself is not Jewish or partially Jewish.
