The charge of dual loyalty not only raises the ominous specter of classic anti-Semitism, but it is also deeply insulting to the millions upon millions of patriotic Americans, Jewish and non-Jewish, who stand by our democratic ally, Israel.

Israel has a tyrannical PM and has engaged in inhumane attacks against Palestinians.
Criticism of these actions and their lobbying efforts through AIPAC isn't antisemitic.

In contrast, for what it's worth, I hold both US (where born) and German (where father born) passports; given that fact I wd consider questioning of my loyalty to one over other as completely fair.
Two loyalties need not be conflicting, but can be where interests diverge.

The price of the State of Israel is the lives of the American soldiers whom you glorified in the two world wars and burned Europe twice in order to get Palestine. Soon Jewish Zionists will pay the price.

You are the last to talk about patriotism (AIPAC), and you have stabbed America in the dark and sacrificed the lives of the sons of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Your crimes against Americans are countless. September 11 is the worst crime against Americans
