I happened to do some research on this matter for another answer, so I have the resources at hand to answer this one.The problem, however, is that there are SO many languages, and so much data, that it would be a really crazy task to put them all together.Sounds like a job for me then!I selected 27 of the most widely known and spoken languages that use common types of alphabets. The first row for each language represents order of frequency of all characters, accented ones separated, and the second row has the order of letter frequency when you group accented letters into their original letter, and when you split digraphs into their original letters (note: I made an exception with æ and œ and did not split them).Afrikaans:e a i n r s o t d l k g v m p u b w f h j c ê ë z öe a i n r s o t d l k g v m p u b w f h j c zAlbanian:ë e t z i a r n m u s x o k j sh y p l d b f h q g rr v dh gj ll nj th c çe t z i r a n m s u j x l o k h d y p g b f q v cCatalan:e a s r l t i n o u m d c p v b q g f h é x ó j è à ò í y ç k ú z ü w ïe a s r i l t n o u m d c p v b q g f h x j y k z wCzech:a e o n i t v s r l d k m u p í z j h ě y ý á b c ž š é č ř ůe i a o n s t v r l d k m u z y p j h c bDanish:e r n t a i d s l o g k m f v b u p h å ø æ j y c w z x qe r n a t i d s o l g k m f v b u p h æ j y c w z x qDutch:e n a t i r o d s l g v h k m u b p w j z c f x y qe n a t i r o d s l g v h k m u b p w j z c f x y qEnglish:e t a o i n s h r d l c u m w f g y p b v k j x q ze t a o i n s h r d l c u m w f g y p b v k j x q zEsperanto:a i e o n l s r t k j u d m p v g f b c ĝ ĉ ŭ z ŝ h ĵ ĥa i e o n s l r t k u j d m p v g c f b z hEstonian:i a e s t u o k l n d r g m v j h õ p b ü ä ö fi a e s t u o k l n d r g m v j h p b fFinnish:a i n t e s l o u k ä m r v j h p y d ö g b c f w z x qa i n t e s l o u k m r v j h p y d g b c f w z x qFrench:e s a i t n r u o l d c m p v é q f b g h j à x z è ê y ç w ù â k î ô œ ë ïe a s i t n r u o l d c m p v q f b g h j x z y w k œGerman:e n s r i a t d h u l g c o m w b f k z ü v p ä ö ß j y x qe n s a r i t u d h l o g c m w b f k z v p ß j y x qGreek:α o ε ι τ σ ν η ρ π υ k μ λ ω γ δ χ θ φ β ξ ζ ψα o ε ι τ σ ν η ρ π υ k μ λ ω γ δ χ θ φ β ξ ζ ψHawaiian:a k o i n e u h l m p wa k o i n e u h l m p wHungarian:e a t n l s k é i m o á g r z v b d sz j h gy ő ö ny ly ü ó f p í u cs ű c ú zse a t n l s o i k m z g r v b d j y h u f p cIcelandic:a r n i e s t u l ð g m k f v o h á d í þ j b ó y æ p ö é ú ý xa i r n e d s u t l g m o k f v h þ j y b æ p xIndonesian:a n e i t k d r u m s g l h b p y o j c w f v z x é qa n e i t k d r u m s g l h b p y o j c w f v z x qItalian:e a i o n l r t s c d p u m v g z f b h à q è ù w ì y j ka e i o n l r t s c d u p m v g z f b h q w y j kLatin:i e a u t s r n o m c l p d b q g v f h x y zi e a u t s r n o m c l p d b q g v f h x y zNorwegian:e n t r a i s d l o g k m v h u p f å b j ø y c w æ z x qe n t r a i s d l o g k m v h u p f b j y c w æ z x qPolish:a i e o n w r s z c d y k l m t p ł u j b g ó ę h ś ć ż ą ń f ź v xa i e o n s w z r l c d y k m t p u j b g h f v xPortuguese:a e o s r i d m n t c u l p v g q b f h ã ô â ç z ê j é ó x ú í á à w ü k ya e o s r i d m n c t u l p v g q b f h z j x w k yRomanian:a i e l u r t n c o s m p d v f î ș b ă g z ț j h xa i e l u r t n c o s m p d v f b g z j h xRussian:о е а и н т с л в р к м д п ы у б я ь г з ч й ж х ш ю ц э щ ф ё ъо е и а н т с л в р к м д п ы у б я ь г з ч й ж х ш ю ц э щ ф ъSpanish:e a o s r n i d l t c m u p b g v y q ó í h f á j z é ñ x ú w ü ke a o s n i r d l t c m u p b g v y q h f j z x w kSwedish:e a n r t s i l d o m k g v h f u p ä b c å ö y j x w z qa e n r t s i o l d m k g v h f u p b c y j x w z qTurkish:a e i n r l k d ı m y t u s o b ü ş z c g h ç ğ v p ö f ji a e n r l k d u s o m y t b c g z h v p f jHere's how the whole thing looks put together. The numbers represent the ranking of the letter. Click on the image if you want to see the non-blurry version.A few interesting notes and observations:Nordic languages seem to have more consonant weight, compared to most of the other languages.Hungarian doesn't have the letter y by itself, only in the "gy", "ny", and "ly" digraphs.The lowest ranking for the letter a is in Albanian (6th).The lowest ranking for the letter e is 5th (Icelandic, Finnish)The ranking of the letter c ranges from 9th (Romanian) to 25th (Albanian)Estonian is almost the only language that doesn't use the letter f, except in loan words. Strange, huh?English has an unusually high ranking for the letter h (8th) - the average for the other languages is 18th and the second highest is 13th. No wonder though, considering words such as the, hello, hi, he/him/his, she/her/hers, when, how, what, where, who, which, why.The usage of the letter k varies from sixth place (Indonesian) to last (Spanish, Italian)On average, o is somewhere around 8th, but it varies from 3rd (Spanish, Portuguese) to 18th (Indonesian)Latin and French have the highest use of the letter q (16th).The letter t is also very variable, from second (Albanian, English), to 16th (Polish).The same goes with u, which ranks as high as 4th in Latin, and as low as 20th in Hungarian.Czech uses the letter v a lot more than all other languages. It's the 8th most used, as compared to the overall average of 20.A similar thing happens with w in Polish, where it's 7th, while the overall average is 22ndAlbanian wins at the usage of the letter z, it ranks 3rd, very far from the overall average of 21st (although Polish is not too far away with z ranked 8th).And the last interesting bit of info: if you add together the weight of each letter for all languages, you get the overall weight of every letter. That would arrange the (most common) alphabet into:e a i n r t s o l d u m k g c p v h b z f j y w q xSo in the end, as it was clearly obvious and visilble, E takes the lead, followed closely by A, while U is the least popular vowel. Sorry U.At the same time, N is the most frequently used consonant. Huh. I did not see that coming.Sources from where I dug up the letter frequencies (which you can blame for any errors, I mean, I'm not completely sold on z being the third most used letter in Albanian, but hey):WikipediaCryptogramSttmediaLater edit: For fun, I decided to test the letter frequencies of a lengthy answer. So I went into my feed and picked the longest one I could find with a quick search. Did the letter counts, and the results are below!e (378) / t (323) / a (291) / i (251) / o (247) / n (233) / s (223)r (171) / h (149) / l (130) / c (112) / u (110) / d (108) / w (81)m (77) / y (72) / f (63) / g (59) / b (44) / p (41) / k (37)v (36) / j (9) / x (7) / q (3) / z (2)And here it is (first line), in comparison with the general reorganized English alphabet (second line):e t a i o n s r h l c u d w m y f g b p k v j x q ze t a o i n s h r d l c u m w f g y p b v k j x q zQuite similar!Second edit: I know there are a few mistakes regarding some letters, but unfortunately I deleted the file I used to calculate the frequencies, and it would be a huge pain to re-create it. Maybe some day.

Anti Zionism by Melanie Phillips"Anti-Zionism has weaponized antisemitism. The unique characteristics of antisemitism are replicated in anti-Zionism because anti-Zionism is the modern mutation of antisemitism.Antisemitism is an obsessional hatred based entirely on lies; it accuses the Jews of crimes of which they are not only innocent but the victims; it holds them to standards expected of no one else; it depicts them as a global conspiracy of unique malice and power.Anti-Zionism has exactly the same characteristics. It singles out the Jewish people alone as having no right to their own ancient homeland and, based on the big lie that the Jews stole the land, writes the Jews uniquely out of their own history.The associated Israel-bashing demonizes, dehumanizes and delegitimizes Israel in order to bring about its destruction. It does this through a narrative of lies.Anti-Zionism is intrinsically anti-Jew because it singles out the Jews alone as a people who have no right of self-determination in their own country. It does this on the basis of the big lie that uniquely writes the Jews out of their own history as the only people for whom the land of Israel was ever their national kingdom.This discourse of anti-Zionism and loathing of Israel has exactly the same unique characteristics as Jew-hatred through the ages. It singles out Israel for obsessive falsehoods; it reverses victim and oppressor in this particular conflict; it holds Israel responsible for a global conspiracy of evil; and it seeks not just to deprive the Jewish people uniquely of their right to self-determination, but to remove from them the country in which they alone are the indigenous people of the land."The problems in Eurabia are not the Jews, they are the people of that continent who have been inoculated with a vile anti-Semitic virus for over 2 millennium without searching for a cure.On the other side, the Jews have not learned anything from History if they still hope to live and assimilate on the blood soaked soils of this forsaken continent."https://www.capitolhilloutsider.com/the-rise-of-anti-semitism/https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/05/a_new_and_growing_strain_of_antisemitism.htmlThe Zionist movement was founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897. However, the history of Zionism began earlier and is related to Judaism and Jewish history.The Hovevei Zion, (Lovers of Zion), were responsible for the creation of 20 new Jewish cities in the Southern Ottoman Sajaks (later Palestine) between 1870 and 1897.Before the Holocaust, the Zionist's movement central aims were the creation of a Jewish National Home and cultural center in then Palestine, by Facilitating Jewish migration.After the Holocaust, the movement focused on creating a "Jewish State"(a secular state with a Jewish majority) attaining its goal in 1948 with the creation of Israel.There Is no other example In human history of a "nation" being restored after such a long period of existence as a Diaspora.The success of Zionism shows that the percentage of the world's Jewish population who live in Israel has steadily grown over the years, and today 55% of the world's Jews live in Israel.While then Palestinian Arabs made efforts to curb the influx of Zionist emigration and lands purchases beginning in 1880, the recognition of Israel as an independent Jewish state after WWII, fulfilled the dream of statehood for thousands of years."Zionism is an indigenous people’s repatriation/liberation movement. It is thought to have officially emerged in exile, borne of the radical liberationist strain of Enlightenment thought from which feminism also emerged, but the underlying concept is much older. The yearning to return to our homeland has been ingrained in our culture ever since we were jettisoned from our soil by foreign occupiers, primarily into Europe, North Africa, and other parts of the Middle East.Zionist leaders sought the support of world powers, particularly the British (who would eventually betray the Zionists) and the King of Iraq, and began to make their way home – rebuilding their people and country into the powerhouses they are today.Zionism is, at its core, an indigenous rights project, and has been since day one. The Jews returning from exile had no mother country to “colonize” on behalf of. Israel is the mother country. There was no New Warsaw, New Bialystok, New Vienna – only the revitalized names of ancient Jewish cities; cities that had been established by the ancestors of these supposed “European colonists”. The Zionists wanted nothing more than to rid themselves of diaspora and return home, and to compare that with colonialism is both dishonest and cruel."Leo Pinsker argued that while emancipation may solve the problems of individual Jews, it will not solve the problem of the Jewish nation. If the Jewish people do not acquire the effective external attributes of a nation, they will remain "everywhere as guests" and "nowhere at home."2 Assimilation would be "national death," whereas a Jewish state would not only provide the benefits of emancipation under the guise of "normalization," but a place of refuge where Jews could manage affairs in their own way without the perpetual stigma of minority status. With this reasoning, Zionism was as much an instance of nineteenth century nationalism as it was a response to emancipation and antisemitism (Avineri 1981, 13; Reinharz and Shapira 1995, 7).Let’s Talk About ColonialismHistory of Zionism - WikipediaIranian ZionismIranian Zionism with Jason Reza JorjaniCaroline Glick: A great—but fragile—triumph of Zionism
