So far there have been five answers, but only one even attempted to answer my question. I know that pushing insecure protestant buttons is easy, and simple minded people find it difficult to concentrate, but please try to stay on task. Thanks.

You are correct!! St. Peter was Jewish. The only other "pope" generally acknowledged from a Jewish family is Anacletus II (1130), an antipope.
Likely, other early popes were from Jewish families, but the records are not conclusive. Speculation on other Jewish Popes include St. Zosimus (417-418), based on his father's name of Abram. Evaristus (100-109) has also been mentioned based on some Pope Pius V writings.

Peter was not a Pope. The first pope of Rome was Constantine.

Peter was never a pope... the Roman church did not even start for three hundred years after he was killed.

How can Constantine be a pope if he was the Emperor?

Peter never knew he was a pope.
I bet he'd be shocked!
He was married and he wouldn't let people bow down to him!
