Look up the number of Nobel prizes awarded to Muslims vs Jews. We have _far_ more to lose if the Jewish population is driven out than if a bunch of people with a social media history of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism get their visas cancelled.
(and no, the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't count)
Why make an exchange? You can just force them out and let Jews continue to live where they've lived for thousands of years. Indeed, Israel can expand. Gaza owes Israel an enormous amount of money in damages. Gaza giving up land to pay for those damages would be fair.
It's perfectly reasonable for countries to pick and choose who they accept as new residents and citizens. Irrational hated of one of the most successful parts of American society is a pretty good grounds for not allowing you in. Besides, when you actually look into the details of these deportations they appear to be pretty much all for more than just saying wrong things. Eg organizing protests involving clearly illegal acts like trespassing on private property, vandalism, violence, material support of terrorists, etc.
I'm talking about Jews obviously. They're over-represented in pretty much every worthwhile, productive, part of US society. There's a wonderful part in the recent Oppenheimer movie where they explicitly discuss how the Nazis are screwing themselves over because so many of their top scientists were Jews. And it's absolutely historically accurate too. Letting pro-Hamas/anti-Israeli nutjobs force the Jewish population of the US out would be an economic disaster, to say the least.

The Nobel prizes for the sciences are very much real.
