Are US Jews more Loyal to Israel than the US?

Question

Why do more American Jews enlist in the IDF than they do in the US military?

Answer 1

Onl,y in the minds of the neo-Nazi websites. In reality US Jews are loyal to the USA. And nope- a US Jew is NOT a dual citizen of both Israel and the USA as much as the neo-Nazis would like you to believe that lie.

Answer 2

Israel extends Israeli citizenship to all Jews, wherever they are born. American-born Jews are not the only children who receive dual citizenship at birth: The children born overseas to military and diplomatic families (and businessmen and tourists, for all I know) also receive dual citizenship from some countries. Turkey is one of them, and American boys born in Turkey must be careful never to set foot in the country once they reach Turkey's age of compulsory military service, or they'll be drafted!

Where did you find the numbers on the military service of American Jews in the armed forces of either the United States or Israel? If you can't cite official government sources from the U. S. and Israel, how about deleting your question as utter bigotry?

Answer 3

Yes it depends on the Jew.

Some Jews I know arent really into the "Jewish" thing unless they are getting married, or its the holidays ect ect.

Then some are all crazy about Israel ect ect.

Honestly I wish that anyone that came into this country and decided to live here would embrace their Americanism, and be loyal to America and no one else.

However its not going to happen, you will always have people who say how great and noble their home country is that they were born in is. Obviously people want to live in the US for a reason, because its better than where they were.

Answer 4

Ok, First, there are no accurate stats on the Jews in the US military. The only info they have is based on dog tags, and many Jews do not have their religion on their dogtags due to issues with the countries they are serving in, or issue with the people they are serving with (Antisemetism among military personnel is slightly higher than in the civilian world, and in the military it;s harder to move in order to avoid it). I am also sure you do not have any actual numbers to back up your claim. Jews have proudly served in the US military from 1776 onwards.
And to the responder who said the IDF pays more, you REALLY don't know what you are talking about... The US pays ALOT more than the Israeli army, as well as most other militaries in the world..

Answer 5

Please back up your statement.

There are many Jews in the US military. It is quite insulting to question their alliegance to America.

Many Jews and non-Jews are Zionists, which means that they support the State of Israel. American Zionists tend to care a lot about America. For example, a well known American Jewish Zionist is Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, who was also president of the Zionist Organization of America.

Answer 6

I'd like to see statistics to back that up...

Just FYI, I enlisted in 1985 and served until 1999. I started as an Airman Recruit (E-1), made it to Lieutenant Commander (OE-4).

I'm Jewish and have never been to Israel, nor intend to go.

I'm a US citizen and a veteran... and if any of the earlier anti-semites wish to debate it...

Answer 7

Definitely.

Answer 8

No, not all, but just some Zionists Jews. Most American Jews seriously see themselves as American citizens and are very patritic to Americans. We need only to watch those in control of AIPAC, an organization seemingly with its tentacles to stir up folks to keep America kowtowing to Israel, and forgetting that America's interest is above other foreign nations, including Israel's. They voice and protest against any Americans who seen to be doing what's right for merica, but not right for Israel. Take Steve Emerson, for instance. He is now noising hard against Pelosi and the group that is trying, perhaps in a way new to what has been done the last 6 years. Anything new as long as the group is not selling arms and secret intelligence info to foreign nations, is always worth a try to ultimately slow down the path toward Armaggedon. After all, I should think that the Israel-supporting Zionists should shut-up. They have pulled us far too deep as it in stirring up chaos, here and in the Middle East. About Steve Emerson, the Zionist working for Zionist Fox Noise, cluckling away for the Bush/Zionist Aipac agenda:

The majority of Jewish Americans are good, decent people who really love America and see themselves as americans, not half-bred American-Israeli pariahs. It's the Zionist Jews that are stirring up problems for America. These Zionists are under one umbrella of Zionists with membersip from other Zionist racial groups - most likely to control the world in Hitler's footsteps. Who knows? They probably were closely associated or were those or descended from those who were secret footstools of Hitler for putting so many to death during Holocast. I've often wondered how many who smiled publicly but actually were the ones who betrayed the Holocaust victims. How did Hitler's Nazis get info to raid homes that gave these victims shelter. How were the Nazis financed? There must be Zionists among the Jewish victims to betray them. There must be Zionists outside Germany financing them. The Nazis can't possibly round out millions of Jews for the kill without traitors walking among them, or financing the Nazis from taking their agenda from nation to nation. The sad thing is that the families of those olocaust victims have been going after those Nazis actually known to have commanded the acts of throwing the victims into the horror chambers, but never went after the secret spies and traitors who were in cohort with the Nazis.

Among every communities, there are good and bad people. Similarly among the Jewish people, there will always be those deadly creeps, too!

Answer 9

I'm Jewish and I'm probably enlisting in the US army, even though I have the grades and money to go to a decent college so I can protect America from a terrorist attack.

Answer 10

If an American enlists in a foreign army, they are no longer a American in my book.
