1. You do know that the term “yid” is used by non-Jes as a derogatory term. It is similiar to kike.

2. Not sure I’d call this a leap forward….nor would I call Newsmax a major news outlet.

3. Let him bring the word of Hashem to the world, this will be a positive development.

4. Newsmax isn’t a major outlet.

5. Is this a joke? Cuz I dont get it

6. Swings:
   The language name Yiddish is based on the term “Yid”, meaning Jew. That is the literal definition of the word, regardless of how some may use it.

   The term “Goy”, while we’re at it, means simply “nation”. Again, referring to a non-Jew as a “Goy” is simply stating that that individual is a member of the nations of the world, as opposed to being a Jew (whose nationhood, if you will, is the Torah). That’s it.

7. Amazing. As of the time I’m writing this comment, there are 4 comments ahead of mine. 3 out of 4, presumably without collaboration, had only negative things to say. The remaining comment is mixed, not celebratory but instead preaching. None of the comments are congratulatory. I find that intriguing.

8. Mazel Tov Turx! You’ve made it to the “Big-Time”. First as a White House Correspondent and now as a political correspondent to Newsmax which has become the preeminent news source today. Keep up your good work.

9. To Swings: Some gentiles may use “yid” as an anti-Semitic term. They also use “Jew” as an anti-Semitic term. And some gentiles refer to Jews as “Hebrews” or people “of the Hebrew faith,” to avoid calling them “Jews,” which those gentiles construe as a derogatory term. Members of many ethinc groups embrace terms which non-members use derogatorily. Black people use the n-word, the Irish use the term “Mick,” and Italians use “wop” and “goombah.” They all use these terms facetiously and ironically, as a way of defusing the insults that the words carry.

10. @Swigs very sane comment.
