3. The unorthodox presidency of Donald Trump crossed a new line.

He successfully urged Israel to bar Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from visiting Israel and the West Bank. (Israel relented in the case of Ms. Tlaib, but she declined to go under Israel’s requirement that she not promote a movement to boycott the country.)

The controversy inflamed the politics of both countries and divided American Jews. Above, some of Ms. Tlaib’s Jewish constituents rallied for her in Detroit on Friday.

“If Israel equals Trump, then there is a concern that opposition to Trump will transition, God forbid, into opposition to Israel,” said an Orthodox rabbi in Washington. “It is very dangerous.”
