Hebrew and its script are barriers to entry by non-Jews and to penetration by foreign intelligence services.
Nonsense. Hebrew is no more difficult to learn than Arabic or Japanese or Greek.
You skillfully attack your own argument. Arabic and Japanese are also barriers to outside intelligence services. Greek isn’t as difficult as the others. If Israel used English or German, it would be easier for the outside world to spy on it.
In fact, it is much easier to read than Chinese or Japanese.
Feminist-level logic. Coz there are more difficult languages, Hebrew isn’t difficult for outsiders.
Foreign intelligence services – unlike the author of the quote above – are intelligent enough to learn the lingo and spy on us.
“Learning the lingo” is a cost that Israel doesn’t have to pay to the same extent or sometimes at all.
Even google-translate, a lowly machine, finds it easy to write grammatically correct Hebrew.
Feminist-level logic again. When Hebrew was adopted by Israel, machine-translation didn’t exist. And machine-translation has still not removed the Israeli advantage.
In short: thanks to Hebrew, Israel finds it easier to spy on goyim and discourage incomers than vice versa.
But don’t worry: no-one expects you to betray your ethnic heritage and millennia of tradition by being honest and admitting the truth.
