Why Israel will rule the new Middle East

Close your eyes and expect all is well
You have a lot to think about yet your response is so vapid it makes me wonder: can you think at all?

^^^^^
Arasteh, I think the mods here consider deliberately misquoting a forum member to be a serious offense. This isn't the mullah's Iran, you know.

Doesn't matter. There are still people who know how to read Latin. Doesn't make it any less of a dead language. Fact is your language was dead and was brought back to life to try and give all the immigrants in newly created Israel a sense of unity.
Latin is limited to small number of scholars, while Hebrew was studied by ALL Jews.

No, modern Persian is a Indo-European language. Not Semitic like Arabic. Same as Old Persian. In fact there is a Persian word for virtually every single Arab loan-word in Persian.
Modern English is still a Germanic language, but it changed drastically thanks to French conquest.

Anglo-Saxons spoke old English roughly a thousand years ago. It has developed into modern English, yet the people are still Anglo-Saxons.
It changes primarily because of French speaking conquest.

Christianity is just as foreign to Greeks as Islam is to Iran. Both are Semitic religions whose beginnings had nothing to do with Greece and Iran respectively. Yet in the way you claim Greeks have their own religion with Greek Orthodoxism, so do Iranians with Shia Islam. Iran has contributed a lot to Islam, both Sunni and Shia.
No, Greek Christianity has much more from Greek culture than from Semitic. They ditched all semitic costumes (pure food, circumcision etc etc they pray in Greek, their holy books are in Greek. And prayers themselves dont look like anything Semitic at all.

Shira Islam is just as Arabic as Sunni (Ali was as Arab as Umar and Aisha). In fact Iranians switched to Shia just recently.

Well I personally don't take the words of ancient religious texts literally, so that is not good enough proof for me. Yet you can easily see the difference by comparing Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews to Ashkenazi (European) Jews.
If u go to Misrahi preayer or Ashkenazi prayer u wont see almost any difference.

From Wiki:
Hebrew has been 'revived' several times as a literary language, and most significantly by the Haskalah (Enlightenment) movement of early and mid-19th century Germany. Near the end of that century the Jewish activist Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, owing to the ideology of the national revival (Shivat Tziyon, later Zionism), began reviving Hebrew as a modern spoken language. Eventually, as a result of the local movement he created, but more significantly as a result of the new groups of immigrants known under the name of the Second Aliyah, it replaced a score of languages spoken by Jews at that time.

It was indeed a dying language that had to be "revived".

Modern English is still a Germanic language, but it changed drastically thanks to French conquest.

Anglo Saxons have been in England from way before the Norman conquest of England. It may have introduced many French loan words into English, but new English is still the successor of Old English. Same as Persian being the direct successor of Old Persian. All scholars agree this, and just because you disagree it doesn't make it true.

It changes primarily because of French speaking conquest.

All natural languages evolve. Since the Norman conquests English has evolved yet again, from Middle English to modern English.

No, Greek Christianity has much more from Greek culture than from Semitic. They ditched all semitic costumes (pure food, circumcision etc etc they pray in Greek, their holy books are in Greek. And prayers themselves dont look like anything Semitic at all.

The Greeks didn't "ditch" anything. The same Semites that laid the foundations of Christianity the years following Jesus's death ditched them rituals to make it more appealing to Europeans. That is partially the reason why it was adopted by the Roman Empire. Also not having pure food, circumcision, Bible in different languages, is not something which is exclusive to Greek Orthodox church. All Christian denominations share these features.

Also just take a quick glance of history of Islam. One of Muhammad's companions was Iranian, Salman the Persian. Sahih Bukhari one of the major Hadiths of Sunni Islam was written by an Iranian, Muhammad Bukhari.

Here is another quote that may enlighten you:

The most important scholars of almost all of the Islamic sects and schools of thought were Persian or lived in Iran, including the most notable and reliable Hadith collectors of Shia and Sunni like Shaikh Saduq, Shaikh Kulainy, Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim and Hakim al-Nishaburi, the greatest theologians of Shia and Sunni like Shaykh Tusi, Imam Ghazali, Imam Fakhr al-Razi and Al-Zamakhshari, the greatest physicians, astronomers, logicians, mathematicians, metaphysicians, philosophers and scientists like Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī, the greatest Shaykh of Sufism like Rumi, Abdul-Qadir Gilani.

If u go to Misrahi preayer or Ashkenazi prayer u wont see almost any difference.

You are overcomplicating things. Compare Iran to it's neighbors in a modern civilizational context and there is the answer you are arguing about.
 
.
Compared to what they endured in Europe in the same period, its hardly an event. But the thing that escapes me the most, is , as victimized as you were, why Israel espoused the same methods of your past tormentors on the Palestinians? WE espect you to be seeking more "PEACE" than what it's taking place...

WoW, couldn't have said any better!

It was easy to revive because all Jews learned it. For example attempts to revive the Irish language failed miserably, although between its death and attempts of revival passed hardly 100 years.

Same as Persian being the direct successor of Old Persian. All scholars agree this, and just because you disagree it doesn't make it true.

Old English and modern English are completely different languages, though both related to Germanic stock.

The early Christianity was basically a sect of Judaism. They were not really different from other Jews. But modern Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with Judaism. Holidays, prayers, customs, rituals all are absolutely different and more related to Greeko-Roman culture.

Also just take a quick glance of history of Islam. One of Muhammad's companions was Iranian, Salman the Persian. Sahih Bukhari one of the major Hadiths of Sunni Islam was written by an Iranian, Muhammad Bukhari.
If he had not an Iranian companion it would make Islam somehow different? - Of course no. So it does not affect in any way.
