I am sure Spurs fans do not mean to offend any Jews, I don't think is offensive at all. I know lots of Jews who use it as a badge of honor.
The hissing sounds though are totally out of order.

Yiddish is the historical language of the Ashkenazi Jews. It originated during the 9th century in Central Europe, providing the nascent Ashkenazi community with a High German-based vernacular fused with elements taken from Hebrew and Aramaic as well as from Slavic languages and traces of Romance languages. Wikipedia
Native speakers: (1.5 million cited 1986–1991 + half undated)
Ethnicity: Ashkenazi Jews
Native to: Central, Eastern and Western Europe
Writing system: Hebrew alphabet (Yiddish orthography)
Language family: Germanic languages, Indo-European languages
People also search for: Hebrew Language, Meänkieli dialects, Romani language, more
Regions: Europe, Israel, North America
So according to that it's the ancient language of a race of Jewish culture, which reinforces my confusion as to why it's considered an insult!!

I agree that it isn’t racist but by saying it is, it helps certain outfits to serve their cause well
Sad that people in entertainment business have to play the race card to get attention or make audiences laugh
It’s sad and archaic

But how do such people get away with demonising it's use, when by that description the word has it's origins as an ancient language?
On the face of it, it appears less offensive than calling someone from Liverpool a scouser, someone from Newcastle a Geordie or someone from Suffolk a carrot cruncher!
Maybe some people need educating on the meaning of the word unless there's some other malevolent undertone to it of which I'm currently unaware of!

I think that is the key; education and awareness programs
The club is Spurs should invest such a program
As it must disassociate itself from being tarnished with the label of racist
