1. What happens when a visitor asks 'where are the Jews?'
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.18.18)
Al Sisi should forget about renovating unused synagogues, synagogues that are unused because Egypt made life so difficult and dangerous for its Jews that they left the country of their heritage. Will they display those facts at these 'visitor centers?'

But that's old history. A building is a building and a synagogue without Jews is just a building with some interesting architecture, nothing more. Not worth a visit. Sort of like the Nazi's grand scheme to build a Museum of a Vanished Race, about the Jews it destroyed.

What Al Sisi SHOULD be doing is protecting the lives and property of Egypt's Christians. They are being murdered with disgusting regularity in Egypt and he does nothing about it. Muslim genocide of Christians must stop. How is it that the UN hasn't said a word about this? How is it that Pope has remained silent?

Dear President Al Sisi, forget about renovating old buildings used by people you forced out of the country. Concentrate on saving your Christian community while you still have them. Do for your Christians what Egypt never did for its Jews- protect them.
