I think you are confusing de-facto with de-jure. They (actually, not just
they but all Jews, in fact even those who have 1/4 Jewish blood, i.e. those
who were subject to the nazi laws of extermination) may become de-jure
Israelis BUT the law that states that is the law of another country, namely
that of Israel. They (the Jews or 1/4 Jews) have not pledged allegiance to
Israel as a state.

Incidentally, this is similar to Mormons counting everyone among their own,
baptizing dead Catholics and dead Jews, although it is done with a
different purpose: Israel laws potentially protect Jews from another
extermination and the Mormons are boosting their ranks.
