Slippery slope, indeed! Will Fischer have to renounce his Israeli citizenship? he did not

Become a US citizen until 1976 at the age of 33 and has spent the bulk of his life outside the US. If I were Jewish American I would be very nervous about the implications of this appointment. There are more than enough qualified domestic Jews to fill this role. Why feed the antisemetic, 'elders of Zion' Jew haters with this opportunity to connect the dots on a global fiscal Jewish conspiracy.

I have a weak sense of Israelis' view of Fischer. As an American who pays attention to the economics blogs, I'm a big fan of Fischer's work at the Bank of Israel. Is that sentiment shared there?
