I think there’s more nuance here than you realize.

Some Americans are indeed of Jewish descent and could benefit from the right to return should they wish to.

But those people of Jewish descent pale in comparison to the non-Jewish Protestant Christians who also support Israel.

It’s interesting that so many Christians support Israel because for hundreds of years that wasn’t the case. Think the crusades and bograms around the world. Many Christians formerly embraced Replacement Theology, which basically says Christians replace the Jewish people’s in God’s eyes. This lead to all sorts of appalling behavior by Christians against Jews over the last two thousand years.

Many modern Protestant Christians instead believe the Jews have a legal and valid agreement with God. And that bringing harm to a Jewish person or their ancestral lands will be punished by God.

So, this is why many red state Christians support the state of Israel and the Jewish people.

Many nations have compulsory military service for up to one year: Brazil, Estonia, France, Greece, Qatar, Sweden, and Turkey

Nations that require one year of military service include: Algeria, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Paraguay, Russia, Taiwan, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan.

Several nations require military service of no more than 18 months: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Benin, Cambodia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, Kuwait, Laos, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates.

All of them aught to preclude you from US citizenship or dual citizenship status with the US.

(Israel isn't listed for the same reason UVA isn't listed on the top 10 list of US party schools. No professionals.)

France does not have compulsory military service for, what, 25 years?
