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.

You dont provide enough info.

The Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goy has sections on the term got as a pejorative or anti Semitic dog whistle. So you can see other associated signals.

Most truely anti semetic people are right wing so mentioning multiple times association with left wing as tho that incriminates him is incorrect.

Do a websearch for the creator name but you need to be extremely careful with what you believe because basically every public figure who is anti Zionist is smeared with anti semitism. So whoever says he is, you need to look at who else they are claiming it about and see if you agree or they are just misusing the term to slander the plurality of people who are pro Palestine.

Absolutely no reputable source ever lists being pro Palestine as an indicator of anti semitism. (Even if they are saying it about someone else.) So of you see that, you can disregard everything else that source says.
