Who was the Erev Rav? According to the Ohr HaChaim, they were spies sent along by Paroah to sow seeds of dissension among the ranks of Jews. They were the rabble-rousers, and, though, they may not have been successful at making the Jewish people return to Egypt (which, they came close to doing), they were the cause of Moshe's failure to enter Eretz Yisroel, and the delaying of the Final Redemption. To make a long, painful story short, they represent one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the path of the Jewish nation.

[It’s always something. The unJews of the U.S. may have Israel pegged all wrong, but that isn’t stopping them from burrowing under ground to undermine Judaism (Heaven Forbid!) and Israel from their foundations up. If these ersatz Jews are allowed to get their noses under the Israeli tent, they’ll be in position to fulfill their goal: pull the whole Jewish enterprise down with them. df]
