Pat Robertson Thinks God Deprived Israel of Its Leader
Of course he'd say that:
The Reverend Pat Robertson says Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke could be God's punishment for giving up Israeli territory... [He] told viewers of "The 700 Club" that Sharon was "dividing God's land," even though the Bible says doing so invites "God's enmity." Robertson added, "I would say woe to any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course." He noted that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. Robertson said God's message is, "This land belongs to me. You'd better leave it alone."
Cheapening Prime Minister Rabin's memory was a nice touch, we thought. Robertson joins the genocidal lunatic wildly popular in nuclear-armed Iran in wishing ill to Prime Minister Sharon in this difficult time.
Elsewhere in the "how dumb is he" column, consider this: the two Chief Rabbis of Israel blanketed the air waves yesterday, elaborating upon the specific words and Biblical passages reserved for praying for the leader of the Jewish State. They unceasingly begged people to keep Sharon's full Jewish name in their supplications. These are men of the greatest holiness and the highest theological sophistication. They are basing their conclusions on the work of other great holy men and imposing theological minds. But Pat Robertson -not a Jewish scholar, incidentally - apparently has enough confidence in his understanding of Jewish prayer, the Jewish State, and the numerological significance of various Pslams to conclude that God choose to deprive Israel of a beloved leader during a time of greatest peril. This is because Pat Robertson is an idiot.
