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.
