The US constitution allows for dual citizenship. However you are required to take a oath to defend the US and not to takeup arms against US.
Israel is a very interesting case, all jews are automatic citizens of Israel, no matter what. Recall the case of teenager student in Maryland who shot and killed a fellow student and then with his parents help ran away to Israel. Intially Israel refused to extradite, but after lot of pressure from SD and threats it might hold up billions in aid, the Israeli govt struck a deal on the condition that no death punishment.
IIRC there no revoking of Italian citizenship as per their constitution. Since she is dual citizen and her son and daughter are also automatic citizens of Italy and also born citizens of India. Had it been that they were born to Italian father and a Indian mother they would not be Italian citizens. (IIRC)
