Is this antisemitism? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Then probably, yeah. Most people are still worried about backlash so your average antisemite won't just come out and say it but if he's making a habit of 'noticing' then he's already falling off the edge. 'Noticing' is not noticing. It's implying importance. It's a suggestion that the individual in question's Jewish-ness is somehow relevant, which is because of conscious or unconscious of racist essentialism. For anyone else, Jewishness is a banal fact of ancestry. It's only for the racist that ancestry becomes sufficient cause of someone's antisocial behaviors.
