No doubt you also believe that Americans of Irish ancestry who care about the "problems" in Northern Ireland are equally suspect? And no doubt you would side with the people who expressed alarm that Catholics (such as JFK) would be taking orders from the Pope? and so forth, ad nauseum?

Almost exactly so. For your further enlightment, here is the 'Oath of Citizenship'. No doubt you agree with everything below, right?

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgement whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

No doubt that the above applies to the Jews and no doubtr that we expect everyone to "entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity". Right?

No, you've gotten it completely wrong. Please make a serious attempt at reading comprehension before you cite "evidence" that does not support your flawed arguments.

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen

Of the millions of American Jews, only a miniscule, tiny fraction of them have ever been subjects or citizens of Israel. And so, simply being a Jew and supporting Israel is no different than being one of many millions of American Christians who also support Israel.

BTW, you seem to be confused on a different topic, too. The "Oath of Citizenship" is sworn by immigrants who wish to become naturalized American citizens. However, the great majority of Jews in the United States were born in the United States and thus became United States citizens from birth. And so even if the "Oath of Citizenship" required people to declare that the moon was made of green cheese, it would have no standing or importance to people who are not required to swear that oath. Are you a United States citizen? Were you required to swear an "Oath of Citizenship"? If so, when, how, and why?

It's pretty clear that your contentions hold no water whatsoever.
