    Because a large percentage of them are Muslims who hate Jews.

    Agreed - the Egyptian government could not take in Israeli's without a likely revolution.

    The reality is that no one wants the Israeli's or Palestinians in the Middle East.

    The only solution is to either force two completely separate states - or let the Jews kill all of the Palestinians.

    However - the current leadership on both sides don't want two states.

    You are welcome to your own opinion.
    Because the Israelis are not getting their asses handed to them to the tune of 40-50 to 1.

    Republican groups are running ads focused on that Doug Emhoff is Jewish and how much Harris supports Israel in Arab communities in MI.

    Antisemitic Ads About Doug Emhoff Target Muslim Voters in Michigan
    An ad campaign in the state, funded by a group that appears tied to Republicans, seems designed to remind Muslim voters of Kamala Harris’s pro-Israel views and her husband’s Jewish faith.

    The tone of the ad is celebratory.

    “Doug Emhoff,” a narrator says, “would be the first Jewish presidential spouse ever.”

    The strategy behind the spot seems to be far more cynical.

    A super PAC that appears to have Republican ties is targeting Michigan residents — including those in Detroit-area ZIP codes that are home to many Muslim Americans and Arab Americans — with YouTube advertisements that highlight Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for Israel and, in some cases, the Jewish faith of her husband, Mr. Emhoff.

    As the narrator cheerfully notes Mr. Emhoff’s religion, an image of the Israeli flag appears onscreen, a dog whistle conjuring the antisemitic trope of dual loyalty.

    “Kamala Harris is a strong leader for these difficult times — and joining Kamala will be her husband and top adviser, Doug Emhoff,” the narrator says, as images cycle across the screen of Mr. Emhoff wearing a yarmulke; visiting Oskar Schindler’s factory; and lighting Hanukkah candles with Ms. Harris. “Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff: making history, standing up for what’s right, supporting Israel.”

    According to the Google Ads Transparency Center, a group called Future Coalition PAC has run six advertisements since Sept. 5, three of which deal explicitly with Mr. Emhoff’s faith. Others focus squarely on Ms. Harris’s support of Israel.

    The group spent just under $54,000 so far across all of those YouTube ads in that time period, according to the latest data posted by Google on Thursday. It is a small sum in the world of political advertising, but one that could have an impact when used to target specific voters in a single area, like Detroit and its surroundings.

    The Huffington Post reported earlier this month on Future Coalition PAC’s advertising about Ms. Harris and Israel on other social media sites.

    What's "antisemitic" about the ad?

    Read the article. It’s about the idea that Jewish Americans have dual loyalty to Israel and are actually more loyal to Israel than the US.

    Where does it say that in the article?

    If Muslims in the US do not vote for Kamala because her husband is Jewish on paper, what does that say about them?

    The right actual celebrates racist ads intended to manipulate people, then cry about the other candidate telling a few lies when their only tells a few truths.

    Amazing.
