I honestly thought this was an antisemitic talking point it was so over the top. No, I looked at the original source.

Republicans are trying to give U.S. Service member protection to American citizens and residents who go join the IDF. Like what?

The GOP is trying to make local benefits to bolster the strength of the IDF.

Imagine if Democrats did this for Americans who join the Canadian Army (who is a much better ally than Israel, and a more ethical country) we would hear endlessly about how they are traitors, etc .. But, giving American benefits to IDF members, sure.... This is a very sick sign, that the zios do run our country, at least the current admin.


I think if you are in another countries army, you should be forced to renounce your US citizenship. Even if it’s an ally today, it may not be tomorrow. What if you are given an order that is against American interests?

The whole concept of ‘dual citizen’ seems wrong to me as well. Pick one.

So it is currently legal to serve in a military of a foreign allied power, as long as it does not jeopardize the U.S. or cause a conflict of interest in various fields.

I don't love this law, but it is understandable. However, giving veteran benefits and service member benefits to people for foreign service is absurd.

Dual citizenship I support, it is an insurance policy if we need to leave America. It is good to have citizenship and a plan to get to a foreign country if something happens.

Maybe the Dems should offer an amendment extending benefits to those who join the Ukraine Army, or in the defense of Taiwan?
