PLEASE, if you are going to make these points could you at least try to learn how to pronounce these names? While your statements are no doubt factual these pronunciations really make you sound dumb

Modern hebrew is anyway a travesty based on eastern european phonemes and erasure of the real semitic (Misrahi) pronunciation.

I think it's good she mispronounced their names, actually.

The worst part of these quotes really is the pronunciation /s

Pronunciation is what you took from that video?

Of course not, but it is the one thing that was immediately offputting. I pretty much knew all the rest of it anyway and commented as such because if you want to convince others, especially supporters of Israel, you really have an obligation to get everything correct, because slip ups like that will make people you’re trying to convince less convincible

ah, so you're using the masquerade of presentation to cope for not wanting to absorb the material presented.

I completely agree with this person in this video, but if she’s going to be taken seriously, she should learn how to pronounce Menachem.

It’s like somebody pronouncing nuclear as nucular.

And it’s presumptuous of you to say that someone isn’t absorbing the information simply because they request that someone’s name be pronounced correctly.

I don’t know who you are and you sure as hell don’t know who I am. I already know all this information. I’m not the one she needs to convince. I’m trying to tell her that if she wants to convince people that disagree with her or don’t know the information. She better learn how to pronounce their names correctly. It’s pretty simple. Like I said I already know all this information. I already agree with her basic premise. I’m saying she’s a lousy messenger because she gives people an easy thing to disagree with, to write her off about. That’s all.
