No. The last American, Edan Alexander, was released two months ago. Alexander is a dual citizen who is from New Jersey who went to Israel after highschool, joined the IDF, and was on active duty at an Israeli military base on Oct. 7.

So he fought in the Israeli military, but not the US military. Israel first.

The West Bank was lost by Jordan as a result of the 6-Day War. Jordan had annexed it in 1950, after the end of the British Mandate. The 6-Day War was precipitated by Egypt, which mobilized on Israel's border, expelled U.N. peacekeepers, moved troops into the Sinai desert, and blockaded the port of Eilat. Jordan had been warned to stay out of the war, and lost the West Bank as a result. Egypt lost the Gaza Strip.

To the victors go the spoils. Don't pick fights with your neighbors. Israel now owns the land it captured, it is Israeli land, Palestinians have no further claim to it, if they ever did.

Precipitated? Ah, the birth of “preemptive self-defense”, perhaps?

No. Israel unequivocally started the war. International law doesn’t recognize the land grab that undergirded those Israeli acts of war, but lemme guess … international law is anti-semitic? On the issue of 181, you are a staunch U.N. supporter; but on everything else, the U.N. is anti-semitic?

GTFOH. It’s astounding how one group can so thoroughly rely upon lying to navigate through life.

DP.

So he's a shitty American? I genuinely don't understand how someone can have citizenship, but also serve in a foreign military.

It' snot uncommon. Many countries have mandatory conscription for their citizens, if you have their passport, you serve. Others can volunteer. So what?

So Egyptian mobilization, initiation of a blockade, and clear statements of intent to attack didn't count? And Jordanian intervention once the the conflict started should have just been ignored? Foment trouble, get trouble. In this case, also lose land. It's no more a "land grab" than was Jordanian annexation of the West Bank once the British pulled out. ISrael would have ignored that, but for Jordan trying to support the Egyptians during the war. Just another in a long series of bad choices by Israel's neighbors. Fortunately, Jordan and Egypt have both since figured out how to co-exist peacefully with Israel, and have lost no further lives or territory - could there possibly be a lesson there for the Palestinians? Of course not - nakba! revenge! global intifada! No peace, ever! Ok, then.

Isn’t fighting in a foreign army illegal for Americans?

Perhaps he is in the US on a visa, this doesn’t sound right.

Under some circumstances, you could lose your US citizenship by serving in a foreign army. If the US, for example, puts Israel on the naughty list, serving in the IDF could be deemed treasonous. Ditto if you served in the Hamas “army” which doesn’t officially exist. They can deny it exists because they don’t wear uniforms.

Serving in the IDF is fine for dual citizens, as is serving in the Swiss, South Korean, Austrian Danish, Swedish, and other militaries, whose countries obligate their citizens, dual and otherwise, to serve. Serving in the militaries of nations hostile to the U.S. might indeed be another story, but it's not an issue for service with friendly nations like Israel, Switzerland, etc.

This man was not a native born citizen.

So then you agree illegal immigrants are basically invaders?

There should definitely be consequences for those settlers.
Is there any room in that prison in El Salvador?

According to the American politicians on Israel's payroll, Israeli citizens are worth more than American citizens. 

We have Americans losing healthcare but they send BILLIONS to Israel (a country with universal healthcare) Let them pay for their own genocide!
