actually you can call yourself what you please....if you were not born where you claim then you are not what you claim.
I am Jewish......because I am Jewish and met the requirements I have citizenship in Israel..my son serves in the IDF.
I do not claim to be Israeli! That is IMO reserved for those born in Israel.
I am very pro-Israel though and will always be!
There is no such thing as an American born Israeli!!
There are American born Jews. Thus having a Jewish heritage and a traceable lineage they can apply for Jewish Citizenship.....
Obtaining dual citizenship in Israel is singular and unique in that any person born in any country who is Jewish can travel to Israel and become a citizen of the state without going through a long naturalization period.
Obtaining dual citizenship in Israel is singular and unique in that people who have no recent, direct connection to the land, can become citizens, and landowners in my ancestral homeland, while I am barred from going there.
I am an American that was born to two Palestinian nationals, I hold an [technically] Israeli identification card. I am a second class Israeli citizen.
