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.
It’s not a matter of a word or follows. It’s how he treats the classification. Does he treat Jews as a stereotypical mass? Does he think simply being of Jewish descent causes certain behaviors? Does he think Jews are interchangeable? Does he think Jews as a whole are a ‘problem?’
So he’s posted an antisemitic meme before, and he mentions “the noticing” which is an antisemitic term and meme.
Then probably, yeah. Most people are still worried about backlash so your average antisemite won’t just come out and say it but if he’s making a habit of ‘noticing’ then he’s already falling off the edge. ‘Noticing’ is not noticing. It’s implying importance. It’s a suggestion that the individual in question’s Jewish-ness is somehow relevant, which is because of conscious or unconscious of racist essentialism. For anyone else, Jewishness is a banal fact of ancestry. It’s only for the racist that ancestry becomes sufficient cause of someone’s antisocial behaviors.
