Hi! I watch this creator that’s kinda harsh on jewish people. He’s used the term “Goy” before. He supports palestine afaik, but I think he could be a little antisemitic, maybe I’m wrong, I’m hoping I’m wrong. I’m not gonna say who this creator is because I don’t want to bring disrespect upon him. In one of the videos he made, he’s watching a channel called Due Dissidence, which, again, afaik, they are left-wing/left-leaning. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions. I’m anti-zionist, but I don’t hate jewish people. I guess my actual question is, is it antisemitic to call jewish or non-jewish people “Goy”? He’s said this in the context where the person is bending the knee to israel and obeying israel.
UPDATE: I looked at his instagram, as I follow him on instagram, and lots of left-wing/pro-palestine people follow him.
Harsh on Jewish people as a whole, or harsh on the nation-state of Israel and its supporters, many of whom are Jewish?
On the nation-state. Here’s a video of his. His name is Rathbone.

Then I think it’s really important that you are clear about that, mainly with yourself, but also any time you talk about the issue in public. Conflating Israel with all Jewish people is a deliberate attempt by the Israeli government and its supporters to make it easier for them to brush off criticism of their actions as “antisemitism”, and is itself an antisemitic act.
It’s also a major factor in increasing genuine antisemitism, because some people see the atrocities the Israel government is committing, see that Israel claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews, and then they turn around and blame all Jews for the actions of Israel. Which only serves to help Israel’s case, which is why it’s so important we be clear about the distinction whenever possible.
