Exactly. I'm not even understanding where one would get the idea that Paul wasn't a Jew... I've googled this on regular google, google scholar, etc., and am not finding anything that suggests that Paul wasn't a Jew. I suppose you could make the argument that he converted to Christianity and thus was no longer a Jew--but he still spoke very much to Jewish audiences alongside Gentile ones, addressing the special needs of the Jewish Christian community...
