It's funny you would ask this.
There is an element of choice. I wanted to make sure he had the Dutch Nationality and Passport next to his Israeli one. The reason for this is that the Israelis see him as having the Nationality "Yehudia" and the Religion "Yehudia". So it says in his birth certificate.
His Dutch passport, or so I'm hoping, should serve him as a reminder that he has a whole continent he can choose to live in, because it also makes him an EU citizen.
The difference between the Yehudia- and Dutch nationalities is that he can renounce the Dutch one without further problems or ado. He can choose not to be Dutch anymore at some point. Since he is an EU citizen this could indeed mean moving to France and becoming a French citizen rather effortlessly. Or Swedish, Austrian or Greek, for that matter. The choice will be his.
However the Israeli stance is that you can never not become Jewish and therefore you are an eternal citizen of Israel by proxy of that notion.
So while I didn't ask him if he wanted to be a Dutchman, I did introduce further elements of personal freedom of choice into his life from the get-go.
This was well thought through.
Having said all that, I find your reaction to be a piece of in absurdum reasoning. He got violated physically at birth, and furnishing him with some means of ID isn't the violation we're talking about.
