Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

DeLay Heads to Middle East to Oppose Palestinian State

HeadlineJul 25, 2003

The New York Times is reporting that House Majority Leader Tom Delay is heading to Israel, Jordan and Iraq this week to voice his opposition against the formation of a Palestinian state. In the past he has called the peace plan “a road map to destruction.” Delay said, “I can’t imagine in the very near future that a Palestinian state could ever happen. I can’t imagine this president supporting a state of terrorists, a sovereign state of terrorists.” The New York Times describes Delay as the most prominent member in Washington of the Christian Zionist movement.
