It's complicated. Jewish is a religion as well as an ethnicity.
The much-before-CE cult turned into a religion turned into one of the longest running breeding experiments we have. The historical focus on internal tribal mating self-selected certain superpowers (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jewish_intelligence) that come in quite handy these days.

You know full well what decade we're in, and virtually everyone today outside an Aryan Nations get-together is going to call Zuckerberg a white guy.

you are delusional if you think jewish is uniformly accepted as 'white', even today.
it's not. full stop.
It's a serious question, are people of jewish faith not considered "white" in the US ?
