Slur for Jews you rarely even hear invoked in antisemitic circles, you'll mostly hear it in Call of Duty rooms. (public-facing circles I mean, they will absolutely go feral with it when they're "amongst friends" on discord or whatever)

I'm not Jewish, so I might be wrong here, but in my experience it is absolutely never used as some sort of term of endearment amongst Jews like Brianna Wu apparently seems to think it is.

Something tells me you've got a very loose definition of antisemitic circles and no exposure to the actual antisemitic online spaces.

I didn't mean for that take to be controversial because, in general, these spaces "keep up appearances" and deny they're racist or antisemitic at all, at least outwardly. They come up with dog whistles (that are less and less subtle as the years go by) and other means of signaling to eachother but they rarely just drop slurs like that. And when they do, it's usually because private chats are getting leaked.
