I have encountered the idea that modern Hebrew is pronounced like Ashkenazic Hebrew before and it will never not be funny.
Ya one result of this is some gentiles being surprised by the fact that Modern Hebrew is based on the Sephardic pronunciation of words and some of the cultural friction this causes with e.g. older Americans who say things the Ashkenazi way

The Mizrahi and Sephardic birth-rates have long exceeded those of the Ashkenazic. And this is central to the rise of Netanyahu and the right-wing coalition.
