When goyim, or non-Jewish people, try to explain Jewish concepts - or explain away antisemitism - to a Jewish person
Goy: "Roger Waters using the Star Of David on an inflatable pig isn't antisemitic. After all, he has Jewish friends!"
Jew: "Don't sit there goysplaining this to me as if it somehow affects you personally. I've been dealing with antisemitism all my life; I think I know what it is better than you ever will."

A rhetorical fallacy employed to deflect serious criticism of Zionist occupation, based on the premise that only Jews can authoritatively discuss events in Palestine
Although Josh used to delegitimize critics by accusing them of anti-semitism and goysplaining, he could not fathom the idea that he was jewsplaining Palestinian suffering from the point of view of someone who sympathized with an occupationist regime and its apartheid policies.

Gwynplaine 

A character in the novel 'The Man Who Laughs' by Victor Hugo about a man called Gwynplaine who had his face disfigured into a laughing mask as a child and falls in love with a blind girl called Dea.

Gwynplaine is described as having a fine, athletic body, but a terrible face yet he is one of the sweetest men in literature therefore, the term Gwynplaine is used to describe inner beauty particularly about men.
He certainly is a gwynplaine.
