[Ray Saintonge]

One might have guessed about being Jewish, but that is not an argument 
that I would have used in the absence of it being raised by the affected

voices appear to be from Israel.  Since Israel and Egypt are contiguous, 
and Israelis do take vacations in Egypt those voices would be helpful.
