House Speaker Boehner to travel to Israel
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner will travel to Israel during an upcoming congressional break, as Republicans seek to highlight the increasingly tense relationship between President Obama and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Boehner's visit will come as the Obama administration wraps up controversial multi-lateral talks with Iran aimed at curbing that country's ability to make a nuclear weapon.
Netanyahu and Republicans in Congress have been highly critical of those talks — fearing the U.S. and its international negotiating partners will strike a weak agreement. Officials have set a March 24 deadline to reach a framework for a deal.
Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith said Friday the Ohio Republican will visit Israel during the two-week congressional recess that begins March 30. The trip was planned before this week's Israeli election, in which Netanyahu won a fourth term.

...circling the drain, together. 
alliance can dig themselves under with all the fiascos, outright bigotry, insulting behavior and embrace of apartheid that they have shown the world.
Perhaps they plan on torturing a few people, non-Israelis of course, on live TV then eating the remains?
