Loyalty
Israel’s proposed loyalty oath, a requirement that immigrants seeking Israeli citizenship pledge allegiance to Israel as a Jewish state, is awful enough on its own terms. That is does not apply to Jews – precisely because many Orthodox Jews immigrating to Israel are anti-Zionist – goes far beyond garden-variety hypocrisy; it’s absolutely outrageous.
