Oh dont even get me started about people who claim to be upstanding US citizens yet continually declare Israel as the homeland. Ugh.

Well, before we get TOO heavy on them ALL Americans do that. Many Irish-Americans actively supported the republican terrorists during the Troubles, including sitting politicians.

But do they actively encourage people to move back to "the homeland"?

No, they just went and killed British soldiers, or sent money and guns.

Then they'd complain at another time that Britain was not supportive enough of America

Fair enough, did not know that. Either way, still makes me want to hit my head against the wall.

It is stupid regardless of who does it.

When you swear the oath to become an American citizen, you renounce all ties to your previous homeland AFAIK but I guess people just talk the talk as usual and then stop caring about what they just swore.

I can kind of understand why Jews cling onto the idea of a homeland in Israel. The reality is that many Jews in America have anti-Semites for political representatives, of both the left and right-wing variety.

No matter how American you feel hooah, I think there is still a sense that Jews are part of some Hollywood-Communist anti-America conspiracy. It might not be a mainstream idea but it is there and it is tolerated within mainstream parties as the case of Legvold shows.
