If you are Jewish and have moved or want to move to Israel through Aliyah, you can retain your US citizenship. If you are no Jewish and want to obtain Israeli citizenship by naturalization, you have to give up your American citizenship.
* People who make Aliyah to Israel, are automatically granted full Israeli citizenship after residing there for one year. During that one year, they hold on to your American passport and give you an Israeli travel document (red coloured as oppose to the regular, blue coloured, national passport.)

However, the majority of Jewish-Americans do not hold Dual Citizenship with Israel. They may enjoy visiting Israel, but as most of them do not spend a lot of time there and would prefer to not be drafted into the Israeli Army, they do not get Israeli citizenship. Jewish-Americans who want to spend an extended time in Israel will often get dual citizenship since it is just easier to travel to Israel and move about Israel with an Israeli ID card.

What are the marriage laws for American Jews in Israel?
Assuming that the American Jews actually have Israeli citizenship, then the laws are the same for Israelis. Israeli Jews have to prove they are Jewish in order to marry each other. Usually, this is done via the ketuba - or Jewish marriage contract - of their parents. An Orthodox ketuba is usually enough. However, many American-Israeli Jewish women need to also prove they have not been married before, or that if they are divorced, they were properly divorced. Usually they will be asked to bring in two witnesses to testify this. If the American Jews do not have Israeli citizenship, then they can still go through this process to be recognized by the Rabbanut.

In Israel Arabs are called what?
Answer 1PalestiniansAnswer 2It depends on how the Arab can be identified and self-identifies. If the Arab has Israeli citizenship, most Jewish Israelis would call him an Israeli-Arab. If he does not have Israeli citizenship (and most likely lives in the West Bank) he is typically called a Palestinian. If he is non-Moslem, he is typically addressed by his religion (i.e. a Druze Israeli). If he does not associate with the Palestinian identity, he is often connected to the identity of his lifestyle of self-identified group (i.e. Bedouins).
Is a Jew a citizen of Israel?
Not all Jews are Israeli citizens and not all Israeli citizens are Jews. Around 45% of Jews are Israeli citizens and 75% of Israeli citizens are Jews. That's close but not entirely true. The Law of Return in Israel states that all people of Jewish descent are welcome to come and live in Israel for safety anytime. However, Jews who never lived in Israel and never sought that citizenship are not citizens.

Are there people in Israel that are not allowed to be full citizens?
Yes, but this is no different than most other countries. Jews can be naturalized citizens practically immediately. As for Non-Jews, all Non-Jews who are not descendants of the 1949 Israeli Non-Jewish population are granted citizenship upon birth. However, while Israel has a naturalization process for Non-Jews who are not descendants of the 1949 Israeli Non-Jewish population, it cannot apply to illegal immigrants or refugees awaiting asylum. (If they receive asylum, they will gain citizenship.)
