Is Edward Snowden Jewish?

New Yorker bloggers debated whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a villain:
Snowden was on NBC with Brian Williams.

But what we want to know: is Edward Snowden Jewish?

We will go out on a limb here and, even lacking firm evidence, based on his bio, we will say, no, Edward Snowden is not a Jew. 

Wikipedia says he, "listed Buddhism as his religion on a military recruitment form, noting that the choice of agnostic was 'strangely absent.'"

US News on NBC news reports: "Born June 21, 1983, he grew up in Wilmington, N.C., but later moved to Ellicott City, Md., he told The Guardian. His mother, Wendy, is the chief deputy clerk for administration and information technology at the federal court in Baltimore, a court official told NBC News. His father, Lonnie, is a former Coast Guard officer who lives in Pennsylvania, the Allentown Morning Call reported. A neighbor said he has an older sister who is an attorney."

If he Jewish, then his exposure of PRISM might really be in retaliation for the US exposure of the Israeli communications intelligence base in Kibbutz Urim.

Edward Snowden could in fact be a sayanim.

On my anthropology expertise - not. Not even with artificially darkened his blue-grayish eyes (on above ABC good visible) and squeezed head (as seen on one pix when become 1/4 narrower). However those tricks are are quite persuasive to full me to wander here :) . Overall he may be around German/Poland more southern eg Hungarian; perhaps more Breton/Irish by Celtic narrow chin. Anyway black, beige or viola who care, He looks like good Human and for most as great Hero !!!

However his leak may not be too good for zio, at the end. Don't worry! take good look at lost game, and next(or another Universe) try play more fair and be forgiving so they may try to forgive you.

Edgar, that is like saying Christians play both teams because there are Christians involved in both sides of anything. What you wrote is 100% ridiculous.

Get real, you guys make me laugh. I hate zionism as much as anyone but GET A CLUE ALREADY!...

No it's not the same. Many Jews are Zionists, which means their national identity is strongly tied to their religion. Because of the history of persecution they are just as paranoid as Americans about their existence. United they stand as well, the Jews.
