When I read 'academic' impudence like this
to sound scientific, and thus gain acceptance. We don't need Germany's academic approval any more, possibly the reverse.

The idea of Proto-Semitic was introduced into "Hebrew Studies" at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem by professors who were educated in Germany and Austria, where they picked it from the immutable prevailing belief in Proto-IE. They eagerly adopted it, I believe, to sound scientific, and thus gain acceptance. We don't need Germany's academic approval any more, possibly the reverse. 3. Aramaic appears to me to be but bastard Hebrew, and the genetic relationship between Hebrew and Arabic is a mystery, and so any search for a common ancestral language is, in my opinion, futile. I dismiss "Akkadian" and "Ugaritic" as they are but tentative languages, and of which I know nothing (and I don't think they are worth the effort to "study".)
