What? Dog in reference to “Jewish” people has always been towards the gentiles, it even shows up in the Bible.

Dog is a basic insult and not a slur or antisemitic. History and linguistics does not agree with you.

Here’s Cambridge even saying the same.

Hey thanks for this. You are correct that I was confused. I had falsely believed that calling Jews "dogs" was a long anti-Semitic tradition. I did more research and discovered that actually historically they were called rats and lice and very few examples exist of anti-semitics tropes comparing Jews and dogs.

The most salient example of that was an American trend to hang a sign on your shop that said "No Jews or dogs allowed", but that doesn't meet the standard of what I had believed.
