1. Hello, Israeli government, we brought thousands
barbara ,   Haifa   (09.23.14)
of Ethiopians to Israel. There are only 12 to bring from Egypt - surely it can be done AND if you moved fast enough, before Rosh Hashana - it's only Egypt !
2. Missing information?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (09.23.14)
When was Egypt the world's second largest Jewish community? The only details mentioned are 100,000 until 1950's, clearly not a very large figure. Who was largest when Egypt was second? Bavel?
3. Israel is hostile to the elderly. Better stay in Cairo.
Peter ,   Jerusalem   (09.23.14)
Israel is a but a dumping site for jews. The government makes its priority to bring Olim to a strange country, pat itself on the back and abandon them to their luck. Plenty of mistreated elderly Shoah survivors agree.
4. They don't want
Amr   (09.25.14)
They don't want to go to Israel man, the community leader said that all what she fears is dying without giving what she got of the jews history in Egypt to the government before Israel asking for it. others also hate israel. Egyptian Jews who love Israel already moved years ago.
5. Historical Loss
