https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/ba9993dc-d22c-4581-8026-9327259fa955 Linguistics YouTuber 'Languagejones' made a video claiming to be debunking propaganda about the reconstruction of modern Hebrew. In truth, it's very generic, entirely unsourced pro-Israel propaganda. Here I respond to it, explain how modern Hebrew actually came about, and refute a bunch of the other tired old Zionist arguments that he makes throughout the video. The 'reconstruction' of modern Hebrew was a very intentional, nationalistic, colonialistic, political endeavour, and his video is based around attempting to deny this reality by talking about just about everything EXCEPT how and why the reconstruction movement actually formed.
