Martin, you said, "Though I have never been there, I am a citizen of that country."

I guess thats just wishful thinking and not really a lie. Perhaps you are just misinformed about your status. Please read the above. You are not a citizen of Israel. Maybe, someday when you save enough money, you can make the pilgramage but until then, you are just another American schmuck.

Sorry to destroy your visions of grandeur.
