You are confusing what Israel refers to as the right of return with native born citizens where the offspring of all Israeli citizens are eligible for citizenship if they request it between 18 and 25. Obviously the age requirement is associated with the Israeli draft. Many eligible Muslims elect not to become citizens.

I don't think I'm confusing anything. The difference between the US and Israeli human rights view I was discussing exists in the right of return law on citizenship, not on those born to citizens in Israel. If Israel has in its citizenship laws the requirement that natural born citizens have to request citizenship between the ages of 18 and 25 that seems to be a thing to allow Muslims to choose not to request citzenship. Why wouldn't all natural born citizens be granted citizenship at birth, whether requested or not?

I don't know what the US equivalent is. Most Americans (I think) don't have passports, they're citizens at birth whether they like it or not (so we can tax 'em!).
