In German, "Yid" is a derogatory term for "Jew", sort of like "Zionist" is today in English.

I'm of German ancestry myself, but I have always and will always support the right of the State of Israel to exist as a Jewish homeland. They're holding the line for Western civilization in the Middle East.

My point exactly. I was curious why you used it. Perhaps to attribute this attitude to Frau Molly?

"Yid" is the Yiddish word for "Jew" and in that context it is not derogatory in the slightest. It doesn't bother me to hear that word and I use it myself all the time. It is usually the left-wing, assimilated, non-religious Yids who get all bent out of shape at being called "Yid."
