  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No, this thread about denaturalization is NOT about Israel or what its government decides;
Tje Israeli government is deciding these issues based upon "religious practice".
it is about the United States and the current administration's considering how it can strip American citizenship from Americans.
This is also about attempts to strip American Jews of their religion and practice.
One poster mentioned that the administration was considering banning dual citizenship. Since the American government cannot strip anyone of their foreign citizenship, they can only stipulate that anyone having dual citizenship either drop the other one, including Israeli, or lose their American one.

I don't know why this same moot point continues to be argued.
Because you won't accept this is about one religion, Judaism. You nor nobody else should be forcing such a decision. One can be an American Jew, and also be recognized by Israeli Jew's as welcome to become an official citizen, based upon religious faith. Always finding ways to mess with Jew's.

I'm not sure the US government can effectively enforce that without having the power of revoking citizenship of a naturally born citizen. I don't think that's a road we want to step out on.
Especially Jew's and their status being "religious" in nature. All Jew's are ONE PEOPLE, whether in the land, out of the land. Living as citizens of various nations, they are one people. This is a slippery slope.

Trump Administration Aims to Strip More Foreign-Born Americans of Citizenship


An official with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it would prioritize “those who’ve unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship.”



The guidance, issued on Tuesday to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices, asks that they “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month” in the 2026 fiscal year. If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 and this year to date, there had been just over 120 cases filed, according to the Justice Department.

Tje Israeli government is deciding these issues based upon "religious practice".
Again, this isn't about Israel. Did you read the OP?
This is also about attempts to strip American Jews of their religion and practice.
Not at all. This is President Trump's proposal. If it were to be enacted, which is not likely, I suspect that Jews would get an exception to the American-only citizenship because this is not directed at Israeli-Americans but at all other hyphenated Americans.
Because you won't accept this is about one religion, Judaism.
Because it isn't. Read the OP and consider where this proposal came from (Trump). Trump's chief anti-immigrant advisor and policy maker is Stephen Miller who is Jewish.

The question of Israeli-American dual citizenship did not arise until page two of this thread when I asked if Jews would be the exception - no one other than you think that they would be the rule.
You nor nobody else should be forcing such a decision.
I agree, but not only concerning Israeli-American citizenship but other dual citizenships except for with enemy nations. My own brother has dual citizenship because he was born in Canada, which also has birthright citizenship, to American parents. His son was born in America to two native Americans, but is now Canadian (Montreal) due to his father's dual citizenship. Can you understand that I am against forcing anyone to chose?
One can be an American Jew, and also be recognized by Israeli Jew's as welcome to become an official citizen, based upon religious faith.
Nobody is saying otherwise. The proposal is from President Trump. Because this is from him (in all probability through Miller) I suspect that Israel would be the exception. Should Jews be treated the same as everyone else or should they get an exception to the rule?

Always finding ways to mess with Jew's.
This is purely in your imagination. Read the OP at the very least.

I have often thought the unhealthy obsession with Jews and Israel was strange.
I think it has something to do with Jesus not being able to return until the Temple is rebuilt.

From where I'm at, it looks like organized religion has done pretty good for itself without Jesus being here. Why risk record profits? The money tables are much too large to risk turning them over now.
