http://schakowsky.house.gov/press-releases/an-israel-supporter-who-wont-be-at-the-prime-ministers-speech/As a Jew, support for Israel is in my DNA. Throughout my nine terms in the U.S. House, I have advocated that Congress and the Administration stand with Israel in a bi-partisan way to protect Israels security and very right to exist. I strongly agree with both the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of the United States that Iran can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.
That is why I feel particularly anguished that the ill-advised invitation from Republican House Speaker John Boehner has managed to threaten, in my view, both the security of Israel and the historic bi-partisan support in the Congress.
Much has been made of the ham-handed politics: inviting the Prime Minister to speak two weeks before his election and failing to consult with either the President or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. As much as I agree with those critics, I am more concerned about two lasting and serious consequences that could result from the Prime Ministers actions.
Jan is among the best we have.

(5,764 posts)Is it necessarily a problem that any one individual senator has dual citizenship? No, probably not.
If 13% of your entire Senate has dual citizenship in the *same* other country so far out of proportion to the size of that country or the representation of dual citizenship with that country in the general population it defies belief... sorry, that's indicating something has gone wrong somewhere. There is something systematic making that happen and you should care what that is.

(56,108 posts)Others have reached the same anti-Semitic conclusions. I have never seen one legitimate source of any of those people being dual citizens, I have, however, seen the same list repeated over and over. They aren't Israeli citizens, but they all do have one thing in common. Care to wager a guess?

I wonder why. Actually no... I don't have to wonder why.

(56,108 posts)The quote from the creator of the list:
I did research for this post. Look it up yourself, put in your own work. I also understand that some of this information might be a little dated now; it was originally posted in 2012. But, recently there have been comments which have accused me of doing no research. It said, Did you just randomly pick a list of Jews? That is a bold face LIE. If the truth is available, why live in a propagandized world. It is not difficult to find the facts. First and foremost, I am a citizen of the United States of America, I love this country, more than any other country. If I defend my nation, by asking is it correct that so many in power should have dual citizenship to Israel and the US, then you sir are brainwashed. I love Israel and I believe totally in the right of Israel to exist and prosper. I also believe in Palestine and the right of the Palestinian people to live in peace on their own land, in their own country. So, drop the accusations to the truth. Just because I dont want the United States of America to be run by Zionists, or for that matter Israelis, I apologize. Thank you. (bold added)
Also from that site:
Sodom ~ New Film Exposes the Lies of Organized LGBT 'Acceptance'
This damning documentary was made by a Russian production company, but thankfully, the audio is in English (with Russian subtitles). The promotion of homosexuality, bi-sexuality, and transgenderism is part of the Zionist agenda to destroy America and worldwide traditional societal values. The strategies for undermining the traditional values of a heterosexual marriage, family, home, rearing of children, Godliness, spiritual influences and morality are clearly spelled out in the Zionist world domination manual, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, written more than a 120 years ago.
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion(I figure I don't have to explain the problem with that "article."
Can you find a single LEGITIMATE source which proves these JEWS have dual citizenship?

He appears to be in trouble on his re-election in Israel and perhaps he thinks this will get him some votes. He attempted to interfere in our elections also, he needs to take care of Israel first.
