    It's incorrect that she's an Israeli-American with dual citizenship?

    "Dual citizen" was never the issue, you turnip head. Neither YF nor anyone else ever claimed that she was not a dual citizen. However, you did explicitly claim that she was NOT a US citizen, for example right here:
    Which makes you the only one that has asserted anything in this whole painful dumbjack that is indisputably wrong. Now will you please stop contesting it, just admit you made a mistake, and move on?

    That's correct.

    It's also correct that she's an American citizen. That's what you said was incorrect.

    Even OOP would admit defeat on this one.

    YF called her an American in the first post.

    Which, as I've pointed out, is not accurate. If she was solely an American, she would have had to have a passport to go to Israel.

    "Americans, Canadians and citizens of most western countries* need just a passport to come to Israel: no visa is required. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter the country."

    Israel Frequently Asked Questions

    For someone who is Jewish, Israel has the Law of Return, which gives almost automatic Israeli citizenship, which means people can have dual citizenship. There is a different procedure for that.

    The Law of Return

    Now, had YF posted "American-Israeli citizen murdered in the West Bank by a Palestinian ..." Then he would be accurate. And his post would have had an entirely different meaning.

    LOL.

    Thanks for the Israeli citizenship lesson we were all awake for in college. You must have slept through it during technical school and needed to Google that.

    Don't you have some old family photos to post, Woody?

    Brilliant response. Why don't you stop proving OOP right and just address what I posted?

    What's to address?

    YF said she was an American citizen. She's an American citizen. It's as straightforward as can be.

    I'm going to check out here. I liked "turnip head," that sums it up, but there's nothing more to be said.

    In your world:

    You, with no other citizenship: An American citizen

    Me, with no other citizenship: An American citizen

    The girl who was killed who also had Israeli citizenship: An American citizen

    Which one of these is not the same?
