Hey, check out our verifiability policy. If we can't verify that someone is Jewish or comes from a Jewish family, it shouldn't be in the article either way.
That said, mentioning that a famous scientist or economist is Jewish isn't offensive, so it's not enforced as strongly there for understandable reasons.
Yeah, but it's funny - it's "offensive" (presumably to Jewish people) but it's not libellous. Saying that a murderer is Jewish isn't actually saying anything bad about the murderer. It's a bit of a weird one, really.
