(6,171 posts)37. I think that East Jerusalemites should have their applications made with the same ease as for every
Jewish person that enters Israel - that is, automatically. Also, the nonsense that only Jewish Israelis can hold dual citizenship should be revoked.
Thirdly, something must be done with the stateless Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, many of them born there - it's a really shitty thing to do to deny people the right to a citizenship.
When it comes to security issues, I don't consider being a Palestinian to be a security risk in itself. I don't want to hold Israel to higher standards than any generic democratic country, and I see no problem with denying citizenship to people on genuine security grounds.
I'm sure you understand the ramifications if Jerusalem actually became unified city...
