I also wouldn’t personally include a dual citizen who has never lived in Israel. Statements like this make me think you’re operating from an undisclosed bias. You wouldn’t even blink if I called them “American”. Your bias is especially suspicious when you close it with ridiculous statements like the following: I could write a document that says I’m a Moon person, but that doesn’t mean that I’m actually a person from the moon. We’re not talking about moon people, and we’re not talking about you. We’re talking about two sovereign governments recognizing an individual as a citizen of that country. 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. Dual citizens to Israel are participants in this egregious behavior whether they like it or not.

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.
