This is so interesting and also wild how most people don’t even know that Israel treats Holocaust survivors like dirt and keep them living in horrible conditions.

I am not Jewish myself, so forgive me for possibly sounding insensitive. I know that hebrew is an ancient and sacred language that has essentially been recreated for it's daily use. can someone let me know why Yiddish was looked down upon so heavily? I was surprised to hear that even native speakers don't like it.

That's very interesting. I'd also be curious to learn about the dialect of Jews from Palestine. Those who never left the area. They must have had a language very similar to the rest of the Palestinians, right?

Weirdly Sabon is also the Indian word for soap. Idk if there’s some kind of cultural/linguistic exchange that happened there

my jaw dropped at them calling *holocaust survivors* as cowardly... I can't imagine calling someone who survived such horrors a *coward*

since the 1400s? the Yiddish speakers were living in Europe. Post ww2 makes sense. the first ships and Yiddish speakers coming. what you say it true but since 1400 INSIDE Palestine? maybe since 1900something.

this is so sad.... just imagine ...when.Yiddish was.erased and a new language has been created ....were the Thora.also changed so that Hebrew took over ??? then the Talmud....has it ever existed by this extend before the Sabra ?..... it opens up to a new sad rabbit hole ...

Hannah 🩷 :
wait, I had a thought. who were the Yiddish-speaking Jews who came to Palestine starting in the 1400s??? like, I can understand Jews being in Palestine before Zionism, obviously. but how did Germanic speaking Jews come to Palestine in the middle ages and why??? who were they?

YES YES YES. Highly recommend the book Revolutionary Yiddishland for anyone interested in anti-Yiddish sentiment in iz ree uhl along with the formation of that “country” post-WWII. It heavily focuses on Jewish resistance from 1880-1950.
