Dual citizenship in France?

According to:
https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/france-french-jews-will-have-to-choose-only-one-citizenship-marine-le-pen/


"Le Pen, a leading contender in the upcoming French presidential contest, told France 2 TV that if elected, she will not allow French citizens to hold on to any citizenship in a non-European country. When asked specifically about Israel and Jews, who form a large community in France, the Front National party leader responded: “Israel isn’t a member of the European Union, and doesn’t consider itself as such,” and therefore a dual French-Israeli citizenship will not be allowed.

Israel or France? Dual citizens appalled after Le Pen says they may have to choose.
Le Pen said that the ban will also apply to citizens of the U.S. and North African countries, but that dual citizens of the EU and of Russia, which she said is part of she termed the “Europe of nations,” will be exempted."

Well, although I'm against this in principle and as a US-France dual national, this statement actually encourages me to some extent, because 1) it's more pro-EU than anything I've heard come out of her mouth, 2) she's probably upset some people who might have otherwise appreciated her anti-Arab stance.
