I've moved this here because it is unsourced criticism, out of place in "early history", and of dubious relevance:

He volunteered at an Israeli Defense Forces supply base during the Gulf War, which prompted some blogsphere speculation, never substantiated, that he might be a Mossad spy in the White House. In his first Congressional primary campaign which was a nasty battle over a prized Democratic Party safe seat, the president of the Polish American Congress, Ed Moskal — who was supporting Emanuel's main rival — claimed that Emanuel was secretly an Israeli citizen and served in the Israeli army. Both claims were denied by Emanuel. Moskal also called Emanuel a "millionaire carpetbagger who knows nothing" about "our heritage."

[edit] Can someone add that he holds dual citizen ship (US/Israel)

Hi, can someone who is familiar with editing Wikipedia please add the information to his Personal section that Rahm holds dual citizenship (both U.S. and Israeli).

Also, the section that says he volunteered as a civilian during the Gulf War to fix brakes in Israel could be clearer. Who did he volunteer for (Israel or the U.S.) and was he in a uniform? Did he carry a firearm and if so, was it under the flag of another country?

Here is a link to a PDF of the Congressional Record also citing Nightline Transcript June 7, 2001. http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/renshon093005.pdf

I'll be brushing up on Wiki editing so if this doesn't get done I'll do it soon myself.

Thanks, Ed
