Congress gets into Israel policy regularly. Saying so out loud to an Israeli leader is a big deal?
Check this out in Haaretz from 02…

WASHINGTON - Despite a concerted campaign of pressure and persuasion on the part of the White House and the State Department, supporters of Israel in the U.S. Congress passed a resolution yesterday, expressing solidarity with the Jewish state in its war against terror.

Passing a resolution in Congress, which is the business of Congress, is actually a little different than telling a foreign leader that your party will protect his interests from the President of the United States of America.

Note, I am not calling for Cantor’s head, I just find this a tacky and manipulative thing to do.
