Racial stereotypes don't have to be true in order to be a racial stereotype. In folklore, goblins aren't money-obsessed, hook-nosed creatures who control the banking system. So no, Jewish people aren't like the goblins of folklore. But Rowling has written about creatures with hook noses, who are obsessed with money and who control the banking system... and that's a very obvious antisemitic stereotype right there, one that existed long before her books. People recognize that antisemitic stereotype because again, it's very well known, and has been around for a long time. They're quite rightly suspicious that Rowling has chosen to write about a race that sounds like a Jewish stereotype.
You're either confused and ignorant, or trolling, but if it's the former it's to such a degree that it sounds like the latter. The people who see antisemitic aspects of Rowling's goblins aren't wrong. They're there.
