The key role of Mary will be played by Israeli actress Odeya Rush, with other roles going to Peter O'Toole and Julia Ormond. Filming begins this summer.
Based on a script by Benedict Fitzgerald (The Passion of the Christ) and Barbara Nicolosi, the film will be handled by Hyde Park International in international territories and by Lionsgate in North America.
and...
Israeli thesp Odeya Rush has been tapped to play the role of Mary in Alister Grierson's "Mary Mother of Christ," which Lionsgate will distribute in North America next year and which will mark the first pic exec produced by Texas-based evangelical pastor Joel Osteen.
Rush joins Julia Ormond and Peter O'Toole in the pic, which is considered the biblical prequel to the story of "The Passion of Christ."
"Sanctum" helmer Grierson will direct from an original screenplay by Benedict Fitzgerald ("The Passion of Christ") and Barbara Nicolosi.
The Weinstein Co.’s lit adaptation The Giver has added 16-year-old Odeya Rush to its cast. The actress, seen in Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green, joins Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, and Brenton Thwaites in the dystopian tale
Where is her father's family from? He was born in Israeli, but the article says they are Ashkenazi, so presumably the family came from Germany. Austria, France, Russia?
Israeli by citizenship
According to the
reliable secondary sources we have available, Rush is and remains an Israeli citizen by birth. She does reside and work in the United States, but unless credible evidence is given that she has been naturalized or granted U.S. citizenship, the article will remain as it is today.

Once again, if there is a source that explicitly asserts that Rush has been granted citizenship or naturalized then add it, but one that doesn't, is no help to this article.

You are claiming ownership over this article, this is violation of Wikipedia's rules, and I can also report you to the administrators. Sources are very ambiguous as to Rush's exact citizenship or nationality, and many sources will quote "Israeli", "Israeli-born" or even "Israeli-American". Who are you to decide whether these sources are accurate or valid? Quit this nonesense, or else I will be reporting you to the administrators.

I stand by what I said. We need
solid sourcing to verify that Rush has changed her citizenship. We currently have no good evidence of that. Per
WP:BLP, contentious poorly-sourced assertions must be removed at once. There is no ownership, there is merely enforcement of policy.

"Rush changed citizenship", something I never said. Being dual citizen of Israel and United States isnt "changing citizenship", but attaining another. What I am saying is that there is no clear evidence or confirmation for her citizenship, this can go either way. Therefore, "Israeli-American" would be your best neutral term UNTIL a source CLEARLY says she is NOT an American citizen.

But not all the sources say so. Some say she is Israeli. They generally agree that she moved to the USA and works there. None say she changed citizenship, attained dual, naturalized, or anything of the sort. I am beginning to think that it should just be removed or clearly footnoted that it is dubious and the discrepancy documented.

Is there any evidence that she's been naturalized a U.S. citizen? One article that probably copied its wording from Wikipedia in calling her "Israeli-American" isn't proof.

I'd say the source in use is just leaving "American" out as another Hareetz article writes:
At only 16, former Israeli Odeya Rush.... I'd assume she holds dual citizenship which is very common for Israeli immigrants. There are more sources where one can find both, Israeli or Israeli-American.

I was unwittingly a part of this edit war - I reverted one edit because it replaced one version which was accompanied by a source with the other version (which I did not realize was disputed) with no source. Either version is fine with me, as long as it's accurate and sourced. If a sourced version is deemed inaccurate, the source should be replaced or disputed, not removed entirely with no explanation. --

It seems to me wrong to remove the religion field from the Infobox. What is the rationale behind this, besides "it is too much"? It is likewise wrong to remove its mention from the appropriate context and just stick it in an orphaned sentence. It makes for a choppy article. Please leave it alone.
