I immigrated to Israel from England when I was 59 and attended an Ulpan for 18 months. I completed, aleph, bet, gimmel and dahled.
The contribution of the Russian immigrants in every field far outweighs that of the native English speakers.
Hi-tech, the arts and sport to give just a sampling.
I don`t know what `patronizing attitude` you are referring to.
To expect English to be made the number one language in Israel would be a totally arrogant and misplaced attitude.
