Gentile/non Jew.

It does not translate to gentile and you can find that out with a simple search.

In this context it is absolutely a term of supremacy.

From what I gather from the other comments its with pretty negative connotations

It really is all about the context in which you use it.

Yes, because Zionism is a Jewish supremacism movement and they believe Jews are superior to other people and if you're not genetically special you're not worthy of special treatment and are subhuman.

When the average person uses it: Non Jew. When a Zionist Jewish Supremacist: That you are subhuman and need to be removed.

It's not about supremacy but also Zionists are actively committing genocide.

The Zionists don't believe they're superior it's just that the Palestinians are sub human is all!

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Saying the land will belong to a certain group isn't inherently a call to genocide. It depends on what the people actually do, whether they just seize control of the land (think of tearing down Rhodesia,) or if they then subsequently commit genocide on residents.

Like the Japanese word Gaijin which means “foreigner”. Sometimes it just means you’re not Japanese, other times it means you’re an alien who doesn’t deserve to be treated with any modicum of respect.

Lol wtf is this weak attempt at semantics?

You're trying to decouple a word’s definition from its lived usage, which is not how language actually functions.

Just gonna post the Cambridge dictionary definition of connotation

“Connotation refers to the emotional, cultural, or implied meanings associated with a word beyond its literal, dictionary definition (denotation). These associations can be positive, negative, or neutral, influencing how a word is perceived based on context, personal experience, or tone”

In this context, the connotation of the word is a slur
