Nice.Very nice. Simple. Very simple. But not simplistic. Definitely not. And the rhythms great. Kudos.

Great, but using the words goyim and goyish creates another prejudice that this poem is targeting. Not every goy is antisemitic. This will insult non Jewish supporters.

Objectively goy is not a slur in any way, shiksa is, as its root word comes from worm. I learned that from the great comedian Ari Shaffer when he was a guest on modi's show. If you haven't heard Jew yet it's needed relief with major humor for the goyim and the Jews

goy means Nations. As Jews we need to normalize jewish words. One of my project articles is to talk about the goyish words that have replaced the Jewish ones from church to secular.

AKA phylacteries etc

I've been warned on YouTube from using jino and shkutzim. Jvp is elementally jino but to point that out is anti-Semitic
