Why would an accent annoy?
It just tells me that someone has a different language background.
What is your mother tongue ?


English and some Yiddish.

I didn’t know it was the way lots of Israelis speak. And now that I know, I still find it annoying.

Just like some Americans find the Southern drawl annoying. So what?

I can’t believe you can’t say that an accent sounds annoying to you without offending half the people on here.

It feels like I’m back in kindergarten.

Nah you're just being rude under the guise of "curiosity" but you're being quite racist towards mizrahi jews that speak like this

So Americans who don’t like the Southern accent are just being racist?

I don't think you can compare the South and Israel in this case.
If a person living in israel would state that the Yemenites accent is irritating it would today be seen as you look down arrogantly on Yemenites and people from eidot hamizrach.
