In the past (not sure it's still done), Jewish parents would sometimes admonish their children by saying something like; "Sit up straight or people will think you're a Goy". "Why don't you chew with your mouth closed? Do you want people to think we're Goyim".
Thanks. I wonder if it was said in the same way when as kids we used to say about others who wouldn't share, they were 'as mean as Jew' when in fact we didn't even know any Jews or even what a Jew was, i.e we were unintentionally being anti-Semitic?
a mi me decían no escupas, eso es de judios. y mira si tenían razón. Yo tampoco conocía a ningún judío y no creo que lo dijeran por racismo sino porque tradicionalmente se recuerda a los judios escupiendo. Tambien había leyendas que los relacionaban con la desaparición de niños.
Wind back 2,000 years and we see similar well-heeled fellows persecuting Jesus. There was the mark of intolerance then, which is sustained in the Talmud up to present day. In some respects its quite sad because in hating and sneering at others like this, you become spiteful and unsociable and you lose out on life.
I never hated jews before. in fact my mum and dad had many jewish friends and so did I while growing up. I can't not hate them these days, watching what they are doing in the world. I will hate them forever. Hatred is a new feeling for me. it started with the genocide. I can't ignore it. I don't like being hateful but I think I am right. I have many friends in Gaza and had the bad luck to move near an israeli community. they are NASTY. they are DERANGED and they are EVIL. that is my experience with them.
This what Zionists such as Netanyahu want you to think so that they can claim justification for their genocidal State. But don't forget, there are also many Christian Zionists who support them.
Don't waste your energy else you will become like them. Think of them this way, they live in an overseas self-imposed ghetto and rather like their own company. Some people never break free from their pasts.
I have to ask, is this disparaging use of 'Goy' confined to Zionist Jews or do non or anti-Zionist Jews use it in the same context?
