The correspondence below was forwarded to the German Consul in Israel, who had previously provided protection against abuse of my rights by the US and Israeli governments.
Brief summary:
I January 2013, my bank accounts in Israel were blocked by Bank HaPoalim. The bank claimed that it was done on behalf of the US gov. No written records were provided. No legal procedure was the basis for such action, either in Israel or in the US.
The Israeli gov refused to provide Equal Protection under the law.
Eventually, after request for protection by the German Consul in Israel, my money was returned.
In parallel, I appeared in the US Consulate in Jerusalem, paid the exorbitant fees, and fulfilled my duties for renunciation of US government. The US Consul refused to perform his duties, and only fraudulent records were produced.
No response was provided at the end of the correspondence below by the US Consulate in Jerusalem.
It is not expected that the US gov would recognize my renunciation of US citizenship anytime soon.
