Yehudon

In the article on Rehavam Ze'evi, it says that he insulted the American ambassador to Israel by calling him "yehudon", which is translated as "Jewboy". There is no further explanation. Can someone elucidate this a little? What is the significance of one Jew (a right-wing religious Zionist to boot) branding another Jew a "yehudon"? Does the term have other connotations? For instance, is it an anti-diasporic thing? Lantzy : Lantzy 01:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
