(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - 81 congressmen, about 20% of the U.S. House of Representatives, will visit Israel this month during Congress' summer recess. A delegation of 26 Democrats headed by House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) will be followed by two Republican ones, bringing a total of 55 Republicans. One Republican group will be led by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). Half of the freshmen Republicans voted into office in 2010 will be making the trip, sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, a charitable organization affiliated with AIPAC.
