When it is, it is just as inappropriate as using the word “kike” for a Jew, “wop” for an Italian, “spic” for Latinos. You’d be better served simply referring to people who are not Jewish as “non-Jews”.
I’m not holding my breath. You’ve clearly shown yourself here, and in other posts, to be, among things, a purveyor of hate. Which brings me to my second point.
In your post you implicitly accuse every Muslim, everywhere, of seeking the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. That is nonsense. I could say more, but you’re not worth it.

Correct, and that is how it appears to be used in "COmentator's" posts on this thread and in the Discussion title.

Correct, but "COmentator" does not appear to have used it in that way.

That comment seems to be an emotional exaggeration. Rather the posts appear to be more critical of the Jewish people's relationship with Hashem in ancient times.

Where exactly?
