Looks like Israel is more cruel than I thought.
Israel also repressed Yiddish in favor of modern Hebrew
(A largely spoken Jewish language in favor of essentially a conlang)

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Yiddish is language of the Ashkenazi, and Israel is very frequently being accused of being Ashkenazi dominated, so this actually went against their majority. The reason was of course zionism, for many idological reasons and one practical, that they did not had common language with other Jews beside the one used in religion, so they took that one and revived it.
There's a lot of Judaist sects, and like the Christian ones, "only my X version of Y religion is the correct one". Apply it also to the ethnicity, culture, and whatnot, and voilà, Theocracism.
