13,000 to 24,000 American Citizens Serve in Israeli Military

What was said

"An estimated 13,000 to 24,000 American citizens serve in the IDF, including both dual nationals residing in Israel and lone soldiers from the US. Americans represent the largest contingent of foreign nationals. I don't understand how you don't forfeit the privileges of citizenship if you go join a foreign military. If you are willing to put your life on the line, not for the United States, but for Israel, your loyalty obviously is to Israel."

Greenwald cited data showing tens of thousands of American citizens serve in the Israeli Defense Forces, including prominent media figures like Jeffrey Goldberg and the woman hired to oversee TikTok censorship. He argued Americans who join foreign militaries demonstrate primary loyalty to that country and should lose US citizenship. He noted bipartisan members of Congress introduced legislation to grant IDF veterans the same benefits as US military veterans.
