The thesis that Jesus wasn’t Jewish is not new in itself (Galilean -> Galilee allegedly largely non-Jewish -> profit), but this, with the Turkic Jesus, is an interesting quirk.

Yes, it is an interesting quirk. Of course, the thesis that Jesus wasn’t Jewish has been around for quite awhile, and the idea still survives to this day in some circles. I believe the Christian Identity movement has a similar idea, though of course, in their view Jesus was a white European, as white Europeans are the descendants of the Biblical Israelites. If I remember right, CI is an offshoot of British Israelism.
