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. * * *

If you believe that 'human rights' are God given Unalienable Rights, and also know that a 'right' is something you can do without anyone else's help (breathing, walking, etc) that would make your seeming conflict much easier for you to understand. Governments grant citizenship. Governments are only as good as the Constitution that guides the rule of law of the land, and Governments are only as good as the people who run them. How can you separate human rights and entitlement for citizenship?

America gives citizenship to everyone, regardless of religious belief, if they are born in the USA. And those people are entitled to the "human rights" outlined in the Bill of Rights. I assume Israel does too or how else did they get those Arab citizens. Israel, on the other hand, grants the children of Jewish mothers the right to citizenship (and all the "human rights" which come along with it), and doesn't grant the same to the rest of the world's population. This is a very different approach to human rights than that followed by the USA. Sure its different than the US, but as I've shown its not unprecedented ... and Arabs want people of Pali descent regardless of where they're born ... which is the same thing you're deploring. My American experience indicates being Jewish is a religious thing, not an "ethnic" thing. I don't think there is another country that grants citizenship based on religion. I'd be amazed if they required a religious test ... ie belief in or practice of a religion ... I'm sure its descent which means ethnicity. And btw the Arab insistence that Jews not live on Arab land in Palestine and elsewher .... is that a religious thing or an ethnic thing? The above are all in the same ethnic group? Puhhhlease. Every single one of them would be banned from E Jerusalem if the Palestinians and the Obama administration could do that.
