Again. "Jewish" is just a line of descent. Judaism is a religion. I know people descended from the Ptolemaic line of kings. What that means is that an ancient ancestor was closely related to the family that took control of Egypt. It doesn't mean they're Egyptian in any way. Yes. Hitchens descended matrilineally from Jews. According to the rules of Judaism, that makes him a Jew. According to the laws of Israel, that makes him a Jew. He did not apparently have any affinity for Judaism. Nor any concern for his genetic relationship to Jewish people. I'm descended from worshipers of Seth-Baal. And???? My family name translates to a major city of the ancient world. And???? It doesn't mean anything. He never lived "As a Jew", so there's nothing complicated about it. Some of your ancestors were French. And???? Some of my ancestors left England over 400 years ago. And???? So what? And nothing.
