Ya habiiibiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Yiddish has nothing to do with it.
If you said "modern Hebrew" I would agree with you. "israel" made a direct effort to remove all sense of identity other than the apartheid state, going so far as to beat children in schools who spoke Yiddish, Arabic, Farsi, or other languages.
They even went so far as to convince Jewish schools across the globe (particularly in Amerikkka), to drop teaching Yiddish and instead to teach "modern Hebrew" which is a bastardized version of the original language.
If someone to this day still speaks Yiddish, they are most likely Hasidic / Haredim, who are strictly anti-zionist.
I'm Muslim and I WISH more Jews spoke Yiddish, it would mean they have a connection to their faith that isn't controlled by the zionist entity and was passed down from generations upon generations of teachings. All the beautiful wisdom, folktales, recipes, family history, evaporated in the span of a couple generations thanks to the zionist entity.
