So many in congress that are dual citizens are democrats and over a dozen are also Israeli citizens.

Israeli Citizens in the US Congress and the Obama Administration (Updated May 19, 2014)

Why don't democrats support Israel? What's wrong with those who claim allegiance to Israel yet don't pass any bill affording any protections to Israel?

how are you defining 'hate Israel.' I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have a really interesting reason. Because if you're reason is that they, the congressmen with dual citizenship, respect the laws set by the UN and apply them to every country, including Israel, evenly, you'd in fact be an idiot only repeating the rhetoric of other idiots as that is in no way a form of hatred.

This is a list of Jews, not people with dual citizenship. I do not have Israeli citizenship just because I'm Jewish. Nor do I have to support the settlements just because I support Israel.

Oy vey.

You didn't find it a little fishy that rather than footnote his references, like any normal researcher would, he prefaced his remarks with "I did my work, look it up for yourself." "It's not difficult to find facts." But strangely, I tried to find information on a couple of random names from the middle of the list, and I could find nothing about Israeli citizenship. All I could find that even suggest this, are reposts of this "article". Mostly on sites run by bigots and other low IQ people.

I'm not saying that I know it is 100% untrue, but given the stormfronter-types' penchant for just making stuff up and hoping it sticks, I would wager money on it being false. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of dual citizens on that list, but until I see some references, it is all just propaganda.

What are you talking about, Israel is under our protection and they over 3 Billion a year from the US government and millions more from private citizens. Why is it you want to treat Israel as if they are US State?

Maybe they hate Israel for the same reason you do.

Controlled opposition. You think Israel/AIPAC doesn't know what's going on in Congress? Pft. They control it 100%. They lead the cheerleaders as well as the controlled opposition.

Default Improved link to congressmen with Israel dual citizenship

This link shows current congressional members of which most are representing new York or California.

https://michaelruark.wordpress.com/2...us-and-israel/

The original question is asking how so many democrats, that are dual citizens, are not outraged that the U.S. Didn't veto the recent U.N. Push to protest Israeli new settlements? How can democrats just sit on their hands and not support Israel, even when they are dual citizens of Israel. Silence is conformity. Surely they ccannotbe so hypocritical and think nobody will notice their lack of outrage or U.S. Support...

The political party you link to, American Third Position is so far right that not even the alt-right want to be associated with it. They list John Bolton as Jewish on that website when he isn't.

The original article left out this little tidbit...

Quote:
It is interesting to note that Israel’s “Law of Return” confers Israeli citizenship automatically, without the immigrant having to apply for it, attend any ceremony, or swear any oath of allegiance.
So in other words, this is just a list of Jews. Well, mostly Jews. They are not people who applied for or received Israeli dual citizenship. They are not people who consider themselves citizens of Israel. They are not people who hold Israeli passports. They are just American Jews.

But there were democrats in congress who publicly disagreed with Obama on this. Why didn't they all? I have no idea. I have stopped trying to figure out how the minds of liberals work.
