Israeli PM Netanyahu tells Ilhan Omar: ‘From this Benjamin: It’s not about the Benjamins’

U.S. support for Israel has nothing to do with money, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, in a clear rebuke of freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

“Some people will just never get it. They will never understand why the vast majority of Americans, Jews and non-Jews alike, support Israel,” Netanyahu told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference. “From this Benjamin: It’s not about the Benjamins.”
