Hey, check out our verifiability policy. If we can't verify that

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.
