reductio ad absurdum - the New Testament is Jewish too.

 If "White Christmas" is to be  considered Jewish,  as has been stated
by Steven Singer  and Ari in previous postings, then so is
"Over The Rainbow".   And so are any of the 36 (double khay) songs 
written for Elvis by Ben Wienstein, including  the unforgettable "Do The 
Clam" -- issues of <kashrut> notwithstanding.

Don';t stop there. What about all the Elvis songs written by Leiber and 
Stoller, and Aaron Schroeder?  And, of course, as Peter Guralnick 
established in Last Train to Memphis, his excellent bio of Presley, Elvis 
was a shabbes goy.
