Many publications are in English. Should everything in Israel be in Hebrew?

No.

No.
Why?

No.
Why?
Because it sets limits for many people. People cant just come to a country and be expected to know a lot of another language. People should communicate in the language they feel confortable with.

No, we have have the English for the immigrants, at some point maybe though
-
The majority should be in Hebrew, but they should know English for the righteous gentiles that decide to live in Israel and learn the language O0
-
no

Most publications in Israel are actually in Hebrew the way it should be. Their should be some english though to help Olim settle comfortable.

There should be Hebrew first and then the languages that the immigrants speak such as English, French, Spanish, and Russian. Only Hebrew should be the official language.
But Arabic should be banned and obviously should not be the official language alongside Hebrew as is the case now. Of course Judeo-Arabic, the Yiddish of Jews from Arab countries, should not be banned.
I think it is good for israelis to learn Arabic to understand the language their enemies speak in. To completely ban it might lead to ignorance when they lie to the Israelis in Hebrew/English and tell the truth in Arabic.

In banning Arabic you isolate many Mizrahi Jews especially the newcomers.

No you don't. Besides, it is not worth allowing such an evil language to be spoken in israel. The sephardic jews pick up hibrew very quickly.

Notice that I didn't say to ban Judeo-Arabic. To call Judeo-Arabic "Arabic" is like calling Yiddish "German". It is an insult to Jewish languages.
The healthiest thing is ofr jews to dedicate a few months or a year upon arriving in Israel to learn to speak hebrew. That is vital.

This is my line of thinking. Jewish people are going to be more reluctant to make Aliyah if other languages are eliminated in a public manner.

Judeo-Arabic? ??? How many Mizrahi Jews you know speak this? This is classical Arabic like in the Qu'ran but written in Hebrew. That's like the equivalent of us speaking old English. Most Mizrahi from Arab countries speak the Arabic dialect of their country or region.
