Intifada means “revolution”. It is occasionally used to describe wiping out Jews, but thats typically ironic or sarcastic. Its modern use is done by Muslim Arabs, who have faced great tragedy and oppression for hundreds of years, so of course in some contexts it is used to express anger. Totally okay to say tho!
Intifada is just a literal translation of the word “revolution”, no matter how you try to spin it. Did you support the American intifada of 1776? It def has some interesting historical context, but everything has interesting history! Historically, some texts suggest that goys are not children of Adam! Not sure what that implies though but since intifada=violence against Jews can we assume goy=subhuman?
Let’s follow this logic exactly. Jews have a closed religion. They have scholars that argue that goys are less pure than Jews. Israel currently has two separate judicial and infrastructure systems depending on your religion. They have a word that they call non Jews, but were supposed to believe this word is an endearing term. Is finding this problematic antisemitic?
It’s not just “any religion that wants one has one” Officially recognized religions get them, and they mostly have jurisdiction over stuff like marriage, divorce, and conversion (in Israel you can only get married in a religious court, they don’t have civil marriage). The courts are inherited from the legal systems of the British Mandate and the Ottoman Empire These are not full judicial systems, they have limited jurisdiction and generally have to be agreed to be used by both parties
“Goy” is not an “endearing term” nor is it a derogatory term, it’s just a term, whether it’s positive or negative or neutral depends on the speaker. It’s basically the equivalent of the term “foreigner” or the term “gringo.” Can they be used negatively? Sure, are they inherently? No
Intifada ≠ violence; the term in English is still used to just mean revolution in most cases, it being interpreted differently by some listeners doesn’t change that & goy just means non-jew, just like gentile does (the only difference is “goy” has a Hebrew root and “gentile” has a Latin root) The Tanakh literally used the term goyim for Jews it originally just meant “nation” & then evolved to mean “foreigner” over time & then just “non-jew” once Jews were in diaspora
