This is deeply insulting. I’m a first generation American. My mother fled the Nazis in 1939 and came to this great country. Almost all her family was slaughtered in the Holocaust. Her Aunt Renee survived and made it to Palestine after WW II. In 1948 Palestine became Israel.
As an American, I love and support Israel because it, along with the US, is one of the few countries on earth where Jews can live in freedom &peace. Like the US, it’s a democracy. A pro-western country in a sea of dictatorships. Israel is on our side and we should be on Israel’s.
I have no “allegiance” to Israel. But as a proud American, I support Israel because Israel is good. The charge of “dual-citizenship” or “allegiance” to a foreign country is thinly veiled anti-Semitism. @IlhanMN is an embarrassment to the Congress.
