*goyim*????

Really?!

And the response by the the mods to a post using a derogatory name for a Jew would be what?

You know, that kind of characterization of a non-Jew by a Jew does not reflect well on all the really good and decent Jews out there.

It's as bad as the anti-Semetic bigotry demonstrated by some non-Jews.

You should be ashamed of yourself resorting to that kind of language.

Gentle, kind friend. From Wikipedia:

Goy (Hebrew: גוי‎, regular plural goyim גוים or גויים) is the standard Hebrew biblical term for a "nation," including the "great nation" of Israel. Use of the plural, "nations," to refer to non-Jews is found from "I will cast out the nations before thee" (Exodus 34:24) and long before Roman times it had also acquired the meaning of "gentile". The latter is also its meaning in Yiddish.In the Torah/Hebrew Bible, goy and its variants appear over 550 times in reference to Israelites and to Gentile nations.[citation needed] The first recorded usage of goy occurs in Genesis 10:5 and applies innocuously to non-Israelite nations. The first mention in relation to the Israelites comes in Genesis 12:2, when God promises Abraham that his descendants will form a goy gadol ("great nation"). In Exodus 19:6, the Jewish people are referred to as a goy kadosh, a "holy nation."[3] While the earlier books of the Hebrew Bible often use goy to describe the Israelites, the later ones tend to apply the term to other nations.
Some Bible translations leave the word Goyim untranslated and treat it as the proper name of a country in Genesis 14:1, where it states that the "King of Goyim" was Tidal. Bible commentaries suggest that the term may refer to Gutium.[1]

I am no more ashamed that the goyim on this website who insist on telling us Jews we’re going to hell for being Jews.
