why does Israel hate Elvis...and George Michael?

(click ads, via) Ad Puzzle of the Week. These are for Autan mosquito repellent by the Tel Aviv office of DraftFCB. OK, because of the "since 1958" copy line, I get the Elvis reference. But, why is/was the dead King of Rock & Roll a pest to the Jews? Was he anti-Semitic? Is George Michael? Btw, the only reason I or anybody would know the 2nd mosquito is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou is because the agency titled the ad with his name.
