Rupert Murdoch's mother, Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, is a Jewess. She was born Elizabeth Joy Greene, from a well-known Adelaide Jewish family.
So, by Jewish law, Rupert is a Jew.
As big a bastard as Rupert is, his mother seems to be a genuinely good person who has dedicated most of her life (she is now 103 years old) to philanthropic causes.
