Haaretz Service: Lieberman: I support creation of viable Palestinian state
Talkback
Title:A flawed comparison, Lieberman
Name:Johnboy
City: SydneyState: Australia
L: "In the U.S., those requesting a Green Card must take an oath that they will fulfill the rights and duties of citizenship,"

That is a requirement of FOREIGNERS who want to come to the USA.

If you are born a US citizen then you need pass no "loyalty test" to retain that citizenship.

Compare that with Liberman`s vision for Israel...

If you are born an Israeli then your citizenship becomes dependent upon a loyalty oath, and if you refuse then your citizenship is revoked.

If you are a foreigner who wants to become an Israeli citizen then no oath of loyalty is required AT ALL.

Q: Why not?
A: Because if you are a Jew then simply fronting up means that you are IN, but if you are an Arab then you Are Wasting Your Breath.

Or, in short: The USA and Israel are complete opposites w.r.t. oaths of loyalty and citizenship.
