Our elected officials - Members of Congress - can hold dual citizenship. Kind of makes you wonder...where do their true loyalties lie? It just seems odd, somehow out of sync, that folks making policy in our country can be a fully vested (and possibly protected) citizen of another country. This list is from 2013, but take a gander. The number of dual citizenship "public servants" is staggering...12% of our Senators that year with one country alone! This list is all folks who have dual citizenship with just one country...Israel.
Take note of Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff and Richard Blumenthal - 4 people we have been hearing a lot from lately. All were born in the U.S. so confused as to why they hold dual citizenship...
See if your Member of Congress is on here. Mazel Tov!

Interestingly, Bernie Sanders is the only dual citizen who even stood up to Netanyahu. He doesn't like him. He refused to go to his speech to Congress. He said a foreign leader had no business speaking to Congress without going through the President. I believe Sanders is the only one, currently in office, who has voiced any compassion for the plight of the Palestinians, and that includes the Christian Congress critters. Oddly enough, he even lives by the golden rule. For these things, I admire him very much. I don't agree with everything, but then I don't agree with everything our President believes, and I strongly support him.

Why would they need dual citizenship to Israel?

So they can vote in Israel?
and Bank in Israel?
I wonder if we have any treaties with Israel that prevent federal investigations into large sums of money being transferred to banks there by dual citizens...

I have found no information on this, this however if true needs to be stopped. However it seems that they are all of Jewish heritage anyway, they should not be serving in our Government. We must all remember that the Israeli elections did not go the way they wanted. Remember Obama meddling in the last election, remember you can not take all the nation and put them in a basket of drplorables. There as here there are white hats, black hats and clueless hats. Pray for the peace of Jeruselam, as you pray for our nation. Hate evil not Good. Blessings patriots, here and there, and if there is truth in this post we must again push our represenatives to change what ever law allows for this.

US dual citizenship
Dual citizenship had previously been banned in the United States, but in 1967 the US Supreme Court struck down most laws forbidding dual citizenship.
Now ask your self a simple question what happened in 1967 that would lead them to allow dual citizenship for Americans?
a war that was over in less than a week, maybe?
KSOKTX ago
I searched but found no credible source for this information. If there is one, please share.
Blacksmith21 ago
See my comments below. This is the type of bullshit you have to be on the lookout for. Unsourced rumors, stated as fact, replicated across fringe websites. Again, no sourcing, though the connection to Vittorio is tenuous as well. Use of Breitbart's denial of Sanders' dual citizenship is good enough to cast doubt on the entire list.
Blacksmith21 ago
@FreedBy45 @shizy @molochhunter @srayzie
How about a citation? A credible one. This smells like Stormfront bullshit.

I just tried to find a credible source that lists my states rep as a dual citizen, and I can't find anything.

That's my point, Shizy. Folks need to look before they post mis/disinformation. See my case study in a new OP.

MolochHunter ago

Blacksmith21 ago
One last piece tying it together: https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/no-bernie-sanders-does-not-have-dual-israeli-citizenship-1.5371082
“No, I do not have dual citizenship with Israel. I’m an American. I don’t know where that question came from. I am an American citizen, and I have visited Israel on a couple of occasions. No, I’m an American citizen, period,” Sanders said.
Rehm responded by saying that she had mistakenly thought Sanders was on a list of politicians with alleged Israeli citizenship compiled by a radical pro-Palestinian activist who, as Jared Sichel at the Jewish Journal points out, was killed in Gaza in 2011.
“That’s some of the nonsense that goes on in the Internet,” Sanders said. “But that is absolutely not true.”
kneo24 ago
Israel gives automatic permanent resident status to people who have hereditary claims of being Jewish. - The law of return.
If either of Bernie's parents were born in Israel, it seems it does give him full citizenship status. - I don't know if this is the case, but at the very least he could claim permanent resident status.
Blacksmith21 ago
Neither of Sander's parents were born in Israel. Jews can claim dual-citizenship under Israeli law, assuming lineage can be proven. In either case, Sanders denies holding dual citizenship. There is no proof he holds it either. Again, casting sever doubt on the claim that aforementioned members of Congress are holding dual US-ISR citizenship. Considering all the "sources" are the same article churned over and over with no sourcing, as a research analyst, I would have to put this "narrative" in the bullshit bin until someone can come up with solid evidence of proof. Until then, it smells like hummous to me.
Before you jump on me, I am 100% OPPOSED to any elected member of Congress or any political appointee holding dual-citizenship with ANY country.
kneo24 ago
I was just pointing out that the claim, while not factually accurate, has some basis on facts. People often confuse the law of return with the law of nationality there. Of course, if Sanders never claims, it's a rather moot point in the end.
There's other people in congress who hold dual citizenship, that's not Israeli. It's a much larger problem than just Israeli influence. Ted Cruz, for example, holds both Canadian and US citizenship.
I think, in the end, you'll probably end up being correct that a lot of these people don't officially hold dual-citizenship with Israel, but certainly can claim right to citizenship in Israel with their Jewish DNA in them. I also do not hold it past these people in congress to vote in accordance to their tribe, but that is an entirely different subject that the OP was trying to get to. Dual-citizenship might just be a moot point here, though not allowing it does muddy the waters less.
Blacksmith21 ago
That's the point, is to muddy the waters. Cruz renounced his CAN citizenship FYI: https://www.cnn.com/2014/06/11/politics/ted-cruz-canada-citizenship/index.html
I agree with you that I don't put anything past Members of Congress, D and R, but especially D. Regardless, no one with dual citizenship should be allowed to hold office at a national level, be a poltical appointee, serve in a uniformed service or work within the intelligence or Federal law enforcement. I could care less if they want to be a park ranger.
Blacksmith21 ago
Furthermore, the closest thing I can find to credible source is Breitbart addressing the Bernie Sanders dual-citizenship, in which it was denied in this credible source. Which in my opinion, discredits the entire list: https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/06/10/host-accuses-jewish-sen-bernie-sanders-of-being-israeli-citizen-based-on-facebook-comment/
Also, there is some evidence to support that the "list" was actually started by a pro-Palestinean group as disinformation. Working on a solid citation.

Maladaptivenomore ago
Although it is notable that many of the main players in the current political unfoldings have claim to Jewish heritage, we should not conflate their status under Right to Return (look it up) as being a passport-carrying Israeli Citizen, unless such specific proof is offered.
To be sure, having foreign heritage, and doing official business with that country's government should be scrutinized and oversight is in place for clearance holders that do so, but the question does remain whether or not it is looked the other way when it comes for dealings with Israel, as it is culturally seems to be a political badge of honor to serve the interests of Israel, and political suicide to oppose it.
Posts like Op's needs to be better researched at best and is designed to serve as disinfo at worst. Be mindful of not adopting and spreading the thought, wholesale.
Charlez6 ago
It's more complex than that. Right of return means the kikes always have a genetic passport to Israel.
You must restrict it on a racial basis (or, perhaps more importantly, acknowledge that you are in a crisis situation if your own people are electing foreigners under the illusion that they could possibly best represent their interests!).

This. I didn't know this was a thing until now. It certainly seems like a conflict of interest to me. Politicians should be forced to give up their citizenship to other countries as a pre-requisite to holding office. Makes you wonder if they would get away with it if they held Russian or Chinese dual citizenship.
