I don't know anything of Hawkman's ethnicity or religious affiliaton (if he has one) but as a Jew myself, I'm heartened
1) because if he is not a Jew, I am always deeply grateful when anon-Jew speaks dispassionately about Jews; and
2) if he is a Jew, it is nonetheless thrilling to read such a scholarly, even-handed evaluation of this question.
But surely a strong hint as to where Shakespeare stood on this issue is in
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter
and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the
rest, we will resemble you in that
