When you actually read the works of these early Zionists, you learn how much they hated their fellow and how fully they internalized antisemitic rhetoric.

Ben-Yehuda was a Native Yiddish speaker who renounced Yiddish.. he and his wife moved to Palestine & tried to infiltrate the religious Jewish communities there — they literally would dress up as religious Jews to try to proselytize the revival of Hebrew. It did not work.
