For both countries this has been a problem because many colonial subjects had British or French citizenship. Hardly any comment was made about the action of these two governments because their behavior was only natural because for the vast majority of countries nationality is linked with ethnic group. Israel has much more legitimate right to guarantee that Muslims remain a voting minority since Muslims have a long history of mistreatment of Jews and the Muslim leaders explicitly state that Muslims will mistreat Jews again if Muslims get the chance.
