Statements like this make me think you’re operating from an undisclosed bias. You wouldn’t even blink if I called them “American”. Because they live in America! If they’ve never lived in Israel, how are they Israeli? If you call someone a Russian who’s never stepped foot in Russia and their family isn’t from there then I’d call you crazy. Why does it change when it’s Israel? Americans are currently being treated as second class citizens within our own country as numerous U.S. politicians prioritize the interests and needs of Israelis. Yes, and I’m not sure how that’s relevant. If anything, it means we shouldn’t just accept the idea these people are Israeli. It gives influence to Israel they don’t deserve.

    Because they live in America! If they’ve never lived in Israel, how are they Israeli? Because they’re a citizen of Israel. It gives influence to Israel they don’t deserve. … Israel has direct control over who is Israeli. Again, you seem highly motivated to dismiss this without any apparent stake. What aren’t you telling me about your biases here?
