Legally, there is no such thing as a refugee under U.S. immigration laws. If someone manages to get here, then they can apply for asylum assuming they can demonstrate actual and perceived persecution based on certain criteria (i.e. race, religion, social group, etc.).
While not techinically impossible to get asylum coming from Israel, in general, asylum is difficult to obtain unless you are from a truly backwards country where the government does nothing to protect its citizens, or, in fact directly persecutes them itself.

I am sure when it comes to Israel, they will make any exceptions.

MAYBE BUT WATCH OUT ONCE YOU HAVE SETTLED. THE GOVERNMENT WILL FIND ONE WAY OR ANOTHER TO TRY AND TURN THE WHOLE COUNTRY AGAINST YOU.

I thought it was the Lebanese that were fleeing?
