Did anyone else find it interesting that of all the oaths listed, only the U.S. one specifically requests the renouncement of all fidelity and allegiance to any other state? ("[...] 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"). I have talked to other non-citizens in the United States, and this is a definite problem for many who would otherwise consider becoming American citizens, and thus hold dual citizenship. Oaths for other countries do request faithfulness and "true allegiance" - perhaps this can be considered the same as renouncing allegiance to one's country of origin - but I would hesitate to agree. Sweden originally solved the problem by disallowing dual citizenship. Now the lines have become a bit more blurry.
Can someone add the oath of citizenship for Israel also?
