update on the 25 US Repugs in Israel for a week

U.S. Republicans in Israel: We are `troubled` by Obama policy


-snip-

Led by minority whip Eric Cantor from Virginia, the only Jewish Republican in Congress, the delegation of 25 Republicans said their weeklong mission is designed to show solidarity with Israel and promote Mideast peace.

A group of Democratic congressmen is expected to visit next week.

Cantor said that instead of focusing on issues such as Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank, Obama should concentrate on "the primary issue of import...and that is the existential threat that Iran poses not only to the state of Israel but to the United States."

-snip-

Cantor and others supported Israel's handling of the eviction of two Arab
families from a house in east Jerusalem earlier this week, a move criticized by the European Union and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"I don't think we, in America, would want another country telling us how to implement and execute our laws," Cantor said.

hey Cantor! with all the money we send Israel we do get a sayso in what they are doing.
