What a screwy thing for people to get worked up over. The everyday language of the people in the time and place of the Master was Aramaic. However, the story of how Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah (Luke 4:16-21) shows he was also conversant in Hebrew.

Netanyahu needed correcting, because he chose to politicize language. He wants to promote Hebrew, which is both his right and his job — but he picked the wrong occasion and fudged history.
