I got a better idea. Arabs learn Hebrew or leave.
Do the Arabic residents of Israel feel compelled to learn Hebrew??????
The arabs should be required to speak Hebrew.
Like this division? "Oh, Muslim, there is a jew hiding behind me, come slay him!"
Why, so they can hear their killers coming at them sooner?

You need a common language, not a bunch of equal different languages.
The Austrian empire greatly increased their ethnic problems when Latin was dropped as the common administrative language in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Go to the West Bank and every street is in Arabic, named after a suicide bomber who killed Jews.
The common language in India has been English since the 1830s. Before that it was Farsi. (Persian)
The US is headed toward Babel with Mexicans leading the charge.
If she wants to learn Arabic she should learn Arabic. Nobody is stopping her. Leftists always want to push their personal agenda on others, regardless of how the others feel about it.
Many of them do. I live in Jerusalem, and every day I interact with arabs in the grocery stores, hotels, working as dentists, taxi drivers, etc. They all know Hebrew
Thanks Nick. Lends a little more credibility to the story.
They’re lucky to have English!
I think Ireland was crazy to resurrect Gaelic.
In the Austrian empire, Joseph II, an 18th-century “enlightened despot,” replaced Latin with German in the 1780’s (because he was a modernizer and thought the Germans were the most advanced nationality in the empire), although Latin was still used in the Hungarian part until the 1840s.
At which point the Hungarians, realizing that their language was difficult to learn, replaced Latin with Hungarian to keep Germans from other parts of the empire out of the gov’t jobs.
Overall in the empire, the dropping of Latin for a modern language of a particular ethnic group, made the other ethnic groups more aware of being different, and led to much greater conflict.
I was told that the initial plan was to replace English with Hindi after 15 years (after independence) but the people in southern India who speak one of the Dravidian languages objected to Hindi (an Indo-European language) and preferred English.
Used to be there was something like a million Israeli Jews who came from families that spoke Arabic as a first language.
I suppose some libtards in the Israel government finally noticed that the descendants of those refugees from Arabic-speaking countries didn’t keep it up as a first or even second language. I’m sure there will be a bureaucracy with nice patronage jobs added to alleviate this problem.
Another leftist Israeli with a suicide wish, and near total ignorance of what Islam is and will do to him and his family etc. Here we have brains full of mush; there, they have brains full of taqyyia.
What a cunningly clever idea. One language for all the commerce and daily social exchange within the country.
Other countries should try it as well. Start with Canada....
The only reason to learn Arabsick is to know what evil they may be plotting against you.
