The two keywords, dual citizenship.

https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-825689, <-- This article talks about revoking but they would have to make an amendment, this was pointed out by Thisisme8719 so take it with a pinch of salt.

That doesn't say it passed. It says that the revocation of citizenship was a proposed amendment to a law that was passed a few months ago. That law was for denying applicants for citizenship, not revoking citizenship from people who got it (which doesn't count if it's done through fraud etc).
It's still a terrible thing and inexcusable to deny people citizenship because of that kind of speech, but stripping away citizenship is a whole other can of worms. Even with people who have other nationalities (which I mentioned), there were controversies when European countries did that to citizens who joined ISIS since applying a law to only one class of people (with two or more nationalities) can be challenged as discriminatory.

Re-reading it, it seems like you're indeed right.

Thank you for highlighting that, it's a key element, I didn't pick up before.
