Israel is not a "difficult" country. It is a country that is going to make sure that its residents, and visitors stay safe. As long as you are coming as a tourist with no nefarious alternative reasons you will have no problems. Most people go through immigration in less than a minute.

No insult taken, but border control is a serious issue that many countries dont take seriously (and look what has happened in some of those countries). Israel does and needs to take border control seriously, but have been there many times with no issues. The US security theater takes much longer, and is much less effective.
