I agree in the sense that emotionally Israelis communicate contempt, scorn, disdain for weakness and all such things.

Which is also why talking about Yiddish culture with someone from Israel is kinda hard. Taking an interest in it means putting yourself on a different place emotionally.

It's understandable to not be pleased putting yourself on a place of a community which has been treated as a lower caste for centuries, spoke a jargon of the language of surrounding Christians which would treat it as such, and is associated most of all with being victimized.

But allowing that to prevail means being really insecure as a society.
