all right, then let's take a hypothetical person who converted to Judaism. this hypothetical person lives in the United States, was born in the United states, and has never left the United States. this hypothetical person has therefore never been to israel, and never applied for citizenship to Israel.
per their law, Israel would immediately extend this person citizenship should they apply, but they haven't. Does that automatically make this person a dual citizen in spirit, regardless of whether they like Israel or not?
I would argue either a pledge of allegiance or an application for citizenship would be necessary in order to have dual citizenship, in spirit or otherwise. There is such thing as an anti-zionist Jew.
Apply this back to the original post, the claim is that you can look it up on Wikipedia to find their dual citizenship, but it is not so obvious on Wikipedia itself as demonstrated by Zuckerberg's Wikipedia page. it's important to get proper sources when making such claims, which I'm sure exists given how often these kinds of posts are repeated.
it is according to Israel. straight from the horse's mouth:
For the purposes of this Law, “Jew” means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion.

first, I heard about that and it's wholly unethical.
however, show me where it says in Israeli law that a sterilized citizen is no longer a citizen, or can never be a citizen.
this whole debate is about citizenship after all.
