3 Billion dollars. Congress has passed a memorandum to fund Isreal with over 3 BILLION dollars a year. But even worse is that American citizens can be prosecuted for boycotting Isreal. How Chinese and Putin of you Congress. Im no fan of Isreal, but I can see the need to protect them. However, banning free speech tells me a lot. I personally would like to see foreign aid banished....it just goes to feed the war machine. I betcha all that money goes into buying more weapons which means Iran has to keep up by going for a Nuke.
Sigh.....

Duel Citizens? Thats an interesting choice of words. And the US frowns on dual citizenship. It makes you renounce your original country when taking the citizenship oath, so I doubt there are many if any dual passport holders.

Supporting Israel doesn't bother me. That's the one nation I appreciate having as an ally.
I'm not really sure Israel is our friend. I don't think the Israel's see US interests as an equal priority to their own selfish self-interests:
Never forget the US Liberty Incident!

Ok, explain how US military chidren born abroad have to choose a country at 18? My wife is British and her green card was good for so long when she would have been required to take the citizenship test, and give up her British passport.
These are first hand, personal instances. If you have any of those to refute my statement then by all means, I would love to hear em. Duel away....

Quoted right from the OP article
"provisions broadly supported by members of both parties, including the aid, but it also included a plank that would have let state and local governments punish Americans for boycotting Israel. "
