Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for dividing God's land.
While describing Sharon as a "very tender-hearted man and a good friend," Robertson indicated that "God has enmity" against that same tender-hearted man and good friend. Robertson also said it was God's insistence that Israel not be divided, referring to the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who had sought to achieve peace by giving land to the Palestinians. "It was a terrible thing that happened, but nevertheless he was dead," Robertson said.
If Pat Robertson's New Year's Resolution was to avoid looking like a complete asshole, it looks like he might have already slipped up. Nice work, Pat! Oh well, there's always 2007.
