Do you consider it propaganda? I don't see a compelling case.
2001 has certain aspects that align with Jewish ideas, and a small number of Jews directly involved, but I don't think the sum total of 2001 is Jewish ... or Jewish
propaganda.
You have to consider that Forward writes Spot-the-Jew articles for Jews. So, this article makes tenuous connections on things with minimal impact on the essence of the film.
For example
<While making the movie, Kubrick abandoned his clean-shaven, black suit, tie, and white-shirt New York intellectual fifties look in favor of scruffier one. It was then that he grew his distinctive beard as if obeying Leviticus 19:27
<The lead ape was played by mime artist Dan Richter, whose father was the Jewish painter and cartoonist, Mischa Richter. Appropriately, his character was called Moon-Watcher and what more obsessive moon watchers are there than Jewish calendar experts?
<Part three of “2001” is called “Jupiter Mission: 18 Months Later.” Eighteen in Hebrew is equivalent in numeric value to “life” (chai), referring to double the human period of gestation and birth.
For the sake of interest, J-Dar rated the film 43.76% Jewish', but the lion's share of that calculation is Kubrick himself - https://web.archive.org/web/20160708215057/http://www.j-dar.ca/#62
