The Yiddish Jews were actually demonized by Zionists, who thought Hebrew was a superior language and saw Ostjuden (eastern european Jews who spoke Yiddish) as subhumans, which is why Zionism marginalized Yiddish (a large percentage of Yiddish Jews were actually anti-Zionist. Look up Bundism) and ultimately Hebrew became the majority

Tl;dr same comment as yours, but replace Yiddish with Hebrew.
Thank you for the correction! I actually read a bit about it later on but it was too late to be changing my comment, lol. 🫶
Np! I didn’t assume malice from you if it matters, just wanted to set it straight. :- )
it’s never too late to “edit:”
Eh, sometimes I’d rather let my ignorance stay and collect the (mostly) deserved downvotes, but you’re right.
Yeah I do that. It’s also a reminder of how I learn and grow, when I feel disproportionally disappointed in myself.
you don’t need to edit to correct it.
but you can add an edit that says “I know better now, sorry”
