There is an inexplicable level of difficulty in getting people to even consider the Israel problem, even among those who agree that the United States needs to stop spending the money it does in foreign aid and military intervention. They freeze up, shut down, or get defensive when Israel is mentioned. There is no greater example of American idolatry of Jews than the recent incident with Ilhan Omar. She has been disrespectful of America since taking an office whose primary responsibilities involve ensuring the well-being of Americans. She was disrespectful of America since her appointment to a committee who primary responsibilities involve ensuring positive outcomes for America in its dealings with the rest of the world. None of this was a problem, apparently. It wasn't until her supposed disrespect of Jews that action was taken against her.
