Answer:On the contrary, it was the Jews who gave the world the principle that every human being is created in God's image (Genesis ch.5 and elsewhere). It was we who taught, for this reason, that everyone is deserving of life, sustenance and dignity. Our laws teach that poor non-Jews are to be given charity too. Our traditions teach that non-Jews are eligible to merit the reward in the afterlife.
("Goyim" simply means "nations" and does not etymologically imply any canard. And when the Hebrew Bible does use belittling terms, it refers to idolaters and transgressors, whether Jewish or not.)

In modern Hebrew it has come to mean non-Jew. Although some perceive it to be a negative term, it is not. This is because Judaism also refers to itself as a "goy".
