Can they do that? I think there are various international conventions which
ban making someone "stateless".

So, as an example, any Dutch Jewish people who went to fight for Israel
would have to become Israeli as they would no longer be dutch? Do terrorist
orgs count as a "foreign army"?

Also how soon after fighting can you get your dutch citizenship back?
