[openDemocracy] Cosmopolitan citizenship in the Middle East | openDemocracy: Jewish agrarian landowners in the south fulfilled their patronage obligations to their Shi`i peasants and employees by organising and funding the mourning processions and assemblies of Muharram and `Ashura, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, and the holiest occasion of the Shi`ite calendar.

[eJewish Philanthropy: The Jewish Philanthropy Blog] Revisiting (and Revising) a Zionist Pillar | eJewish Philanthropy ...: Given its importance and high profile, one might be surprised by two things that the Law of Return, as originally adopted, did not do: First, contrary to popular perception, it actually did not give automatic citizenship to Jewish immigrants, a practice that was only put into law with the enactment of the 1952 Nationality Law, which granted Israeli nationality to any immigrant who arrived under the Law of Return. Second, and more significantly, the original law did not include a definition of the basic concept of “Jew.”

[Article Resource - Best Article Directory] Gain second citizenship for social status!: Other than that, you will also find a certain section of people who want to gain dual citizenship merely for social status.

[Living in Ireland - NewtoTown.ie] US Citizen Married to Dual Irish/British Citizen, Moving to ...: I asked my husband where the Irish Consulate was in Belfast so we could go there, and he nearly pished himself laughing. So I called the Irish Consulate here in LA, and they said to call the Irish Consulate in San Francisco, and they said to go on the DoJ/INIS website, which says the Help Line numbers are no longer active, and so I went to e-mail, and the website says to be sure to include your address in your e-mail, as all e-mail replies will be answered by post!

[Freelance Blogging] Finding your Freedom in Latin America | Freelance Blogging: Demonstrating some connection with the country is a necessity, but this requirement can be easily fulfilled by owning real estate or investing in a local business. So smart second citizenship seekers should be looking for attractive business opportunities in Latin America rather than investing hundreds of thousands on small, hurricane-prone islands in the Caribbean.

[MetaFilter] Federal Injunction Blocks Portions of SB1070 | MetaFilter: I certainly never saw any white people working on the gardening crews along the freeways in Phoenix, trapped between two 30' high concrete walls with 6 lanes of exhaust-spewing traffic in the middle of July's midday heat, picking up trash and tending the plants.

[Usturpin's Blog] Why Blotter? « Usturpin's Blog: As part of “I Will Do As I Say Week”, parents were given “poor citizenship” citations - the proceeds of which will go to finance local education budgets.

[Hyphen magazine - Asian American arts, culture, and politics] Arizona Proposes to Deny Citizenship to US-born Children of ...: It baffles me that people who are privileged by their U.S. citizenship would have the audacity to play victim to the presence of undocumented people - especially in a forum like the Hyphen website, where presumably visitors identify with the minoritarian dynamic of racialization. It becomes politically urgent to encourage discussion from voices we might not normally hear - indeed, that the state and its overzealous followers silence.
