Well, to make a long story short, Benjamin Disraeli was Jewish!

Since Benjamin Disraeli's mother was Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father was Jewish too.

Benjamin Disraeli was born on 21 December 1804 in London, United Kingdom.

He was a British Conservative politician, writer, aristocrat and dandy who twice served as Prime Minister in 1874 to 1880, and in 1868.
