Ron Dermer

Israels new ambassador to the US was born in the US but gave up his American citizenship, has close ties to Netanyahu and close ties to the Neoconservatives in the Republican party. A few notes from a couple of links. (emphasis mine)

In 2005, while Benjamin Netanyahu served as Finance Minister under Ariel Sharon, Dermer was appointed economic envoy at the Israeli embassy in Washington, a post for which he had to give up his American citizenship.
Dermer is considered Netanyahu's closest adviser and strategic consultant.

Dermer’s family has deep roots in Israel, and his first job was an assistant to the famous GOP pollster Frank Luntz. Dermer worked with Luntz and Newt Gingrich on a strategy that later manifested itself in Gingrich’s “Contract With America,” which offered a raft of policy prescriptions the Republican Party brought with them when they took control of the House in 1994.
He urged the U.S. to "crush the regimes in Baghdad and Teheran before they develop weapons of mass destruction."
Dermer is also opposed to a two-state solution--a hint that when Netanyahu mouths those words, he doesn’t really mean it. Dermer once told reporters that “the principle of two states for two peoples is a childish solution to a complicated problem.”

Actively worked for the 1994 Gingrich revolution. Gave up his American Citizenship to work for Israel in 2005. Pushed hard for the wars of the last 12 years. I'd expect him to be a fixture on our corporate media as an expert in "What is good for America",... like he cares about America?

What would we think if a US born Russian gave up their US citizenship for Russia and then continued to live in the US to work on behalf of Russia?

The mixing of US and Israeli politicians cannot be good for the people of the US.
