Do you think it’s a conflict of interest for so many in our government to have dual citizenship with Israel?

Adam B: I’m sorry you are so ill informed that you don’t know all you have to be is Jewish in order to have dual citizenship with Israel, you don’t have to be Israeli.
ey yai yei….
Jo: It’s ‘bye bye USA’ anyway supporting Israel the whole way down,

now what?
Adam B: You really don’t know WTF you’re talking about, stop spreading disinfo.
electric crab: You seem to be confused, all Jews have the RIGHT TO SEEK DUAL CITIZENSHIP.

They have to petition for it, it’s not granted by your birth and something that’s an accident which all Jews in our govenrment have no control over.
It’s a conflict of interest.
electric: Nice job trying to call me a racist. I don’t think YOU know what the founding father’s idea was for this nation.
It is to uphold the constitution. Those in government take a vow not to have allegiance to other nations or take secret oaths.

better luck next time. lol.
Adam B: That’s EXACTLY what I’m stating,
now won’t you please enlighten your ignorant brother "electric crab".
justagrandma: I don’t care about any "aryan" cause,
However, when you have government officials in high places like this who take an oath, and knowing you have to petition for dual citizenship, yes, it is a conflict of interest, no it should not be allowed and how are we supposed to know they are not denouncing the tenets of the Constitution of the US?
I’m just dodging your "racist" accusatory bullets like crazy, I am. LOL.
Oh, and that reminds me, you’re not a race, anyway, most of you are Russian genetic lineage, the source of where caucasion stemmed.

I think it’s a conflict of interest for so many of our elected officials to be bought by special interest groups and lobbyists. AS to your assertion that all of these hold dual citizenship-how about some proof, other than their names.

Any of those that you listed: if they have a US Secret or above clearance, they had to renounce their other citizenship.

Of course it is not good – now Israel is putting pressure on the US to attack Iran, lets hope Obama sees sense…

Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has served in the IDF.

Face reality: Israel owns Washington.

Looks like lots of those names are from past administrations, one. Two, that appears to be nothing more than a list of Jewish politicians. Most of those people are not dual nationals with Israel as far as a quick search turns up. Mukasey isn’t Israeli. Neither is Bolton. Or Libby. Or Abrams.

Edit: God, are you serious? I AM a dual American/Israeli citizen, and I know exactly what the rules are. Every person of Jewish ancestry is *eligible* for Israeli citizenship, but they do not possess that citizenship automatically – they have to actually apply for it. This is called the "Law of Return" in Israel. The Wiki for this law is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Return

You are claiming that all Jews are de jure Israeli citizens, and that’s not only factually wrong, it’s stupid. The exception is people who have at least one parent who is an Israeli citizen – they ARE automatically Israeli citizens, but this is also true for many, many other countries.

Why do ignorant people feel so free to call others ignorant?

"God Blesses Those Who Bless The Jews, And He Curses Them Who Curse The Jews"

This is why we support Israel.
If we turn our backs on them, its bye bye USA.

No. By Israeli law all Jewish people have dual citizenship. An American of Jewish faith has no control over that.

Only bigots try to claim that is a "conflict of interest" Those trash are nothing but latter-day Nazis. They are anti-American bigots try to spread hate and undermine the religious freedoms our country is founded on. They are the ones with a conflict of interest–they don’t have any loyalty to America and what we stand for. Theyneed to leave–they are not real Americans and do not belong here. And never will.

Being Jewish, even going to Israel doesn’t make you a dual citizenship.
This is just another thinly veiled attempt to make people think that Jews are somehow inherently different from Catholics, who are not automatically members of Vatican City. Or any other religion.
And that Jews are not patriotic Americans, but rather suspect. With split loyalties.

While its possible to obtain dual citizenship without renouncing the US, that’s a possibility with many countries. Time to stop the excuses for hate.

I suggest you read other sources for your information in the future.
Try to exclude aryan literature

Actually Adam B is correct.

The mere fact that someone is Jewish does not make them an automatic citizen of Israel.

You wish to dispute what Adam B says? Fine. Then please back up what you claim with facts from reputable sources. The burden of proof is upon you not us.

And for the record, there are other members of the US government who have citizenship with other countries as well. Are you going to question them as well or just the Jewish ones?
