Is Mark Knopfler jewish? I dont think so, he was born in Glasgow & bought up in Newcastle surely?

yes he is jewish

Mark Knopfler Glasgow

Er, why does that preclude him being Jewish?

Jews exist everywhere, not just in Israel you know! Newcastle and Glasgow both have substantial Jewish communities, as do a great many British cities.

Mark Knopfler's father was a Hungarian Jew who escaped the fascist regime of his homeland and took refuge in Britain.

Did you even bother to try and search, if you had you would have found out more...

Near enough all of Newton Mearns and Bearsden in Glasgow are Jewish areas, prior to that they populated Clarkston and about, Glasgow has lots of Jews.

Glaswegian all my life, qualified to answer. lol

Its brought up, not bought...

Mark Knopfler is the son of a Jewish architect whose communist sympathies forced him to flee the fascist regime in his native Hungary. When Mark was about nine years old, the family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in the North-East of England.

Last time I checked, there wasn't a jew-ban in either Glasgow or Newcastle.

His mum's English, his dad's a Hungarian Jew.

Yes he is Jewish. Jews are everywhere mate, dont matter about Manchester or Glasgow

The entire Brothers In Arms album.

Yes,

Where he was born and where he was bought up have no relationship to him being a Jew,

...

And? Jews aren't just born in Israel you know!
