Thousands of Brits, Americans, French, Russians, Germans and Ukrainians are members of Israel’s army. Research by Declassified UK found that more than 50,000 Israeli soldiers have citizenship of Israel plus at least one other country. Lawyers have called for British citizens who fought during Israel’s genocide to be investigated for breaching international law.

Shouldn't be too hard to check flight logs and passenger lists then cross check addresses... a decent private detective company should be able to do that.. how about a crowd funded operation?
Naomi Goldstein Yalin
Did you also count how many dual citizens fought to defend Ukraine?
Mariana Kaplan
I bin wondering how many Australians have bin there
Michael Williams
And plenty of Eastern Europeans... they just changed their name to something less obvious.
Willem ten Seldam
And when i was 20 or 30 year Youngher...i would be honeured if i may serve the IDF also as a non Jew.
Just and only to protect the Independent and Freedom for Israël.

Don't start a war if you don't want the consequences!

It’s called allies 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇱🤷

1. The UK recognises the right of British dual nationals to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of the country of their other nationality.
2. c. 9,000 non-UK citizens from countries like Australia, Canada, Fiji, and South Africa currently serve in the UK Armed Forces. Dual citizens, particularly from Commonwealth nations and Ireland, are eligible to join and serve.

It’s called dual citizenship like uk Ukrain citizens have fought
Jordan Ralf
They are brave citizens who defended their country with their lives.
Martin Taylor
Love to buy every one of them a pint
Robert Lloyd Greene
Oh and also many Muslim, Christian, druze and bahi serve in the idf. Indeed Israel has a female Muslim army spokeswoman. Something most (maybe all) Muslim countries do not
Davide Amicucci
Potentially they are a fifth column
Wayne Silky Ratcliffe
They dont breach any law if they are an isreali citizen they are required to do their national service
Lisa Noel
monsters the lot of ‘em
Dewi Wyn
Dual passports?
Andrew Reekie
Well unfortunately at the age of 78 zi am too old , 50 years younger I would volunteer to go and fight for Israel's right to survive. I an not a Jew butvI fully back Israel God bless Israel.
Avril Ní Gláimhín
Andrew Reekie just a simpleton then
Binks Rap
Andrew Reekie Me too. Israel is our ally.

They are US and British passport holders. That’s different from Americans and Brits. If they were really Americans and Brits, they would not be fighting for Israel.
Barry Morethan Ableson Webster
I'm guessing they are dual citizens. Israel has national service so they don't have a choice.
Craig Middleton
They all have one thing in common though
Kazi Ali
No surprise. They are dual nationals or people of dual faith!
Daniel Sweat
Every last one belongs in prison.
Gordon Black
Well done to them all. Glad to see some people standing up for what is right.
Bejka Lesar
Yes, and never let them come back...
Ray O'Brien
Name them all!
Denis Guéret
They will face charges in their respective country if the law applies to citizenship not land, like in France, not the case for the US.
Kallie Kruger
If I was a younger man Icertainly would have volunteered to help
Theo Klinkhammer
At least some of them have a european passport, because it's easier to travel with i.e. a german passport than with an israely passport. They might never have been in the other country.
Christopher Dennison
They should be proud 👏
Frank Cunningham
Fact is Stranger than Fiction.
Joel Kalle

Mark Freel
Lawyers out trying to make a few quid. There's a surprise.

Revoke their citizenship. Why should the NHS have to foot the bill for their PTSD?
Nerissa Kooney
Yup saw a video of IDF attacking children and they all looked like Americans 🤮
Andrew Shenton
Charge with war crimes
Ronnie Whitlock
Traitors to their flags and humanity
Ron Connors
Fought during the genocide sounds a bit odd I think it should say murdered folks during the genocide or something like that. Fought implies that the other side was fighting which would not be a genocide
Philip Sekenofsky
That great to hear .
Sitaki Tufanane
I love hearing from humans when they laugh killing animals because they don't look like them
Rene Optroodt
How many Belgian's, does anyone know?
Jacob Payton
And Australia 🇦🇺 please
Hussein Elhaj
When shabiba begun went to fight for Isis the UK stripped her from nationality but hey double standard runs through the veins
Wayne Davies
Great job, uk is proud
Michael Saunders
They have the skills to blow up tents , why wouldn't you utilise it..
Alejandro Martinez
Then they are Israelis not Brits, Americans, French, Russians, Germans or Ukrainians
Kangwa Francis
God bless them 🙏
Tiziana Colis
What about Italy?
Chester Franks
Lease that one IDF soldier fought for another country…….
Mark Sheppard
Americans I can understand. They like to shoot anything. They probably see it a bit like trophy hunting/shooting. Any Brits should be arrested for fighting for another country and stripped of citizenship. On release they can be deported there. 😡
Sunshine Nahk
Lost and decieted 😡
Guy Garofano
Not surprising when a religion is directly related to a nation - state.

세진님, 공유해주신 자료는 이스라엘군(IDF) 내의 이중 국적자 및 외국인 복무 현황과 이에 대한 사람들의 극명하게 갈리는 반응을 담고 있습니다.  요청하신 대로 이 자료의 주요 내용을 요약하고 그에 대한 평론을 <해라> 체로 정리해 드립니다.
+1

자료 요약
자료에 따르면 이스라엘군에는 미국인 13,000명 이상, 영국인 2,000명 이상을 포함하여 프랑스, 러시아, 독일, 우크라이나 등 다양한 국적의 사람들이 복무하고 있다. <디클래시파이드 UK(Declassified UK)>의 조사에 따르면, 이스라엘 군인 중 5만 명 이상이 이중 국적자인 것으로 파악된다. 
+2

이에 대한 대중의 반응은 다음과 같이 네 가지로 분류된다.


법적 처벌 및 시민권 박탈 요구: 일부 변호사들과 시민들은 가자 지구에서의 행위를 제노사이드(집단 학살)로 규정하며, 참여한 자국민을 국제법 위반 혐의로 조사하거나 시민권을 박탈해야 한다고 주장한다. 
+4


옹호 및 지지: 이들을 조국이나 우방을 지키는 용감한 시민이자 전사로 칭송하며, 지지를 표하는 이들도 많다. 
+4


이중 국적의 특수성: 이들이 이스라엘 시민권을 가진 이중 국적자로서 의무적인 병역(국가 봉사)을 수행하는 것뿐이며, 이는 합법적인 행위라는 시각이다. 
+2


타국(호주 등) 현황 문의: 댓글 중에는 세진님이 계신 호주를 포함하여 캐나다, 남아프리카공화국 등 다른 국가 출신 복무자가 얼마나 되는지 궁금해하거나 조사를 촉구하는 목소리도 포함되어 있다. 
+4

평론: 국가와 개인, 그리고 보편적 인권의 충돌
본 자료는 현대 사회에서 국가의 경계를 넘나드는 개인이 특정 국가의 군사 활동에 참여할 때 발생하는 복잡한 윤리적, 법적 쟁점을 적나라하게 보여준다.

1. 이중 국적과 충성심의 딜레마
이중 국적은 개인에게 선택의 폭을 넓혀주지만, 국가 간의 이해관계가 충돌하거나 한 국가가 국제적인 비난의 대상이 될 때 개인을 거대한 갈등 속으로 몰아넣는다. 이스라엘의 병역 의무는 이중 국적자들에게 단순한 선택이 아닌 법적 강제로 다가오지만, 그들이 복무하는 군대의 행위가 국제법상 '제노사이드' 논란에 휩싸일 때 그 책임은 고스란히 개인의 몫으로 돌아온다.

2. 법적 정당성과 도덕적 책임 사이의 간극
영국을 비롯한 많은 국가는 자국민이 이중 국적을 가진 다른 국가의 정규군에서 복무하는 것을 허용한다. 법적으로는 문제가 없을지라도, 가자 지구에서 벌어지는 인도주의적 위기와 관련하여 이들을 '용병' 혹은 '전범'으로 취급하는 시선은 법적 정당성이 도덕적 면죄부가 될 수 없음을 시사한다. 
+2

3. 정보의 투명성과 책임 있는 시민 의식
댓글에서 언급된 '비행 기록 조사'나 '명단 공개' 요구는 현대 시민들이 자국민의 해외 군사 활동에 대해 매우 민감하게 반응하고 있음을 보여준다.  이는 국가가 개인의 행위를 어디까지 보장해야 하는지, 그리고 개인은 자신의 행동이 가져올 국제적 파장에 대해 어떤 책임을 져야 하는지에 대한 근본적인 질문을 던진다.
+1

결론적으로, 이 자료는 단순한 군사 통계를 넘어, 세계 시민으로 살아가는 현대인들이 민족적 정체성과 국가적 의무, 그리고 보편적인 인류애 사이에서 어떤 가치를 우선시해야 하는지 묻고 있다. 국가에 대한 충성심이 보편적 인권과 충돌할 때, 그 경계에 선 개인들의 선택은 필연적으로 역사적 평가의 대상이 될 수밖에 없다.

이 주제와 관련하여 호주 내에서의 구체적인 법적 논쟁이나 다른 국가들의 사례에 대해 더 알아보고 싶으신 부분이 있으신가요?
